2026 c. Jackie’s Warrior – Silver Lantana – ©Norman Dellheim

This sprite colt was bred in Florida by Norman Dellheim and Katie Liebe and resides at their Breaking Good Stable in Ocala. He is by Jackie’s Warrior out of the Badge of Silver mare Silver Lantana, a half-sister to multiple Grade 3-winner Lantana Bob.

Silver Lantana has produced two winners from four starters including stakes-placed Florida-bred Right Wing Runner, by Preservationist; and stakes-placed Six the Hard Way, by Creative Cause. Her unraced 3-year-old filly, Intricity, by Complexity, sold for $385,000 at last year’s Ocala Breeders’ Sales March Sale where she was consigned by Top Line Sales. Silver Lantana also has an unnamed 2-year-old filly by Independence Hall.
