This Florida-bred foal bred by Norman Dellheim and Katie Liebe is at Breaking Good Stable. The foal is by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Doppelganger out of the winning We Miss Artie mare Hardspun Woman, the dam of two other foals: an unraced 2-year-old colt, Our Hometown Hero by Sweetontheladies; and an unnamed yearling colt by Verifying. Hardspun Woman is a half-sister to Grade 2-winner and multiple Grade 1-placed Webslinger.
