Last year, Win Win Win created a sensation at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales March 2-year-olds in training sale with the sale topper, a $1.8 million filly out of the Union Rags mare Unanimity, as well as another filly that sold for $130,000. Since then, the $1.8 million filly, named Nooni, won the Sorrento Stakes (G3) and ran second in the Oak Leaf Stakes (G2). Nine more winners emerged for Win Win Win in 2024 including Win n Your In, a multiple stakes winner with earnings of $218,950 so far. Sixteenth on the national freshman sire list, Win Win Win led all Florida freshman sires and was second nationally among stallions based outside Kentucky.
Win Win Win is the leading American-bred son of 2005 Japanese champion sprinter Hat Trick (by Sunday Silence), who was champion sire in Brazil in 2022/23 and led the French juvenile sire list in 2011. His dam is the Smarty Jones mare Miss Smarty Pants, a winning half sister to 2011 Noble Damsel Stakes (G3) winner Unbridled Humor (by Distorted Humor).
In back of Miss Smarty Pants, Win Win Win’s female family is quite solid. His maternal granddam is grade 3-placed stakes winner Devotion Unbridled (by Unbridled), whose half sister Snow Cone (by Cryptoclearance) won two stakes races at Calder before producing 2020 Durham Cup Stakes (G3) winner Salute With Honor (by To Honor and Serve). Produced from the stakes-winning Caveat mare Icy Warning, Devotion Unbridled is also a half sister to Cool Slew (by Seattle Slew), dam of 2007 Grey Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G3) winner Globetrotter (by Street Cry), and to Revel in the Win (by Red Bullet), dam of 2013 Bourbon Stakes (G3) winner Poker Player (by Harlan’s Holiday).
Win Win Win showed marked speed early in his career. A stakes-placed winner as a two-year-old, the Live Oak Stud homebred set a Tampa Bay Downs track record of 1:20.89 for seven furlongs in the 2019 Pasco Stakes, his fourth lifetime start. He then showed enough stamina to run third in the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby (G2) and second in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G2). Later in the season, he demonstrated versatility by winning the one-mile Manila Stakes on the turf at Belmont. At four, Win Win Win scored his biggest win in Saratoga’s seven-furlong Forego Stakes Presented by America’s Best Racing (G1), defeating grade 1 winner Complexity by half a length. His other victims that day included champion sprinter Whitmore and grade 1 winners Firenze Fire, Lexitonian, Mind Control, and True Timber. Win Win Win left racing with five wins from 12 starts and earnings of $601,600.
“Win Win Win is off to a great start and demand for him is solid,” says Ocala Stud’s David O’Farrell. “While it’s still early in the season for most Florida breeders to be making their decisions, the interest is already there and growing. I anticipate him having another strong book this year.”
Win Win Win is standing the 2025 season for $8,500 stands and nurses.
