FRIESAN FIRE

At the sales his weanlings have sold for up to $55,000, and yearlings have brought as much as $140,000. In 2016, at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-olds in Training Sale he had the highest priced colt who went for $825,000. That colt, later named ARMY MULE, won the 2018 G1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct in near track record time of 1:20.94 for 7 furlongs, earning him a 114 Beyer! Army Mule was undefeated and retired to stud at Hill ‘n Dale Farm in KY for the 2019 season. Also in 2018, Friesan Fire’s 2-year-old son CALL PAUL (a $210,000 May 2 yo purchase) won the G2 Saratoga Special and placed in the G1 Champagne and G3 Nashua Stakes.

FRIESAN FIRE’s first crop hit the races in 2015, and he got his first winner in July of that year at Parx when his son Morning Fire took a $42,000 maiden special weight despite a troubled trip!  Read the Blood-Horse write-up about FRIESAN FIRE’s first winner and see a video replay of the race here.  FRIESAN FIRE’s second winner came in a $70,000 maiden special weight at Del Mar on August 26th when On Fire, a $140,000 yearling purchase, broke his maiden at a mile (video replay here). Morning Fire went on to become a multiple stakes winner. His other stakes horses include Fire Key (3-time stakes winner), Saratoga Bob (winner of the 2018 Maryland Million Classic S), Flash McCaul (multiple stakes-placed), She Rolls (multiple stakes-placed), Ripple (stakes-placed) and Forest Fire (2nd in the Private Terms Stakes).
