Perfect Sting Touches Many Over Multi Decade Career

Perfect Sting received an Eclipse Award in 2000 for Champion Grass Mare after she took the GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf. The homebred mare had a successful career as a broodmare at Adena Springs, and was recently retired after producing a filly by Awesome Again last year.

Raced by Stronach Stables, Perfect Sting was a stakes winner by her third start as a juvenile and a three-time graded stakes winner as a sophomore, including consecutive Grade I victories in the Garden City Breeders' Cup H. and the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup S.

Perfect Sting has since produced 13 foals, seven of which are winners. Her second foal Perfect Bullet (El Prado {Ire}) became a graded stakes-placed Adena Springs sire, and her daughter Smart Sting (Smart Strike) was a Grade III winner who is now also a broodmare at Adena Springs. Two of her daughters, Purple Trillium (Seeking the Gold) and Peggy May (Lemon Drop Kid) are stakes producers.
