Hot off of an impressive eight and three-quarter-length debut victory just one week ago in which he just missed the five-furlong course record, Mr Big made his first career stakes start a winning one by capturing Singapore’s G2 Golden Horseshoe over six furlongs.
Bred by Shadwell Estate Australasia, Ltd., Mr Big is out of an unraced daughter of Danehill and of the G3-winning mare Shining Hour.
Mr Big is one of 22 career Graded or Group winners for Elusive Quality who was North America’s leading sire by number of total progeny Stakes wins in 2010. Among his 68 career stakes winners - seven at the highest level - are 2011 G1 winner Sepoy, last year’s multiple G1 winner Quality Road, as well as Kentucky Derby hero Smarty Jones and G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Raven’s Pass who stands at Darley’s Kildangan stud in Ireland.
