This Florida-bred colt is by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Simplification out of the Florida-bred mare Royal Oasis, by Treasure Beach (Ire). Born May 3, the colt was bred by Stacy Sandbothe and is boarded at Norman Dellheim and Katie Liebe’s Breaking Good Stable in Ocala, Florida.

The second dam is Florida-bred What a Lady, by West Acre, a full-sister to Grade 2-winning Florida-bred Ivanavinalot, the dam of 2015 Champion 2-Year-Old Filly and 2016 Champion 3-Year-Old filly Songbird.

Correction: The Jackie’s Warrior-Silver Lantana foal published in the May 8 issue of Wire to Wire is a colt, not a filly. We apologize for the error.
