After discovering this 2013 gelding, at a lightly publicized sale, in Lexington, KY, the acquisition was made by Saddleback Stables. He raced once as a two year-old, finishing 4th at Gulfstream Park West. Summer Classic is a three year-old son of Summer Bird, the 2009 Champion 3 Year Old Colt who won the Belmont Stakes, Travers and Jockey Club Gold Cup. After earning more than $2.3 million he retired to Pauls Mill, near Versailles, KY for the 2011 breeding season. He was acquired by WinStar Farm for the 2012 breeding season and then sold to the Japan Bloodstock Breeding Association. Summer Bird tragically died of colic on Dec 24, 2012 while standing at stud in Japan. Glory Blaze by Forestry out of Ski Breeze by Mr. Prospector is the dam of Summer Classic. She was 3-5-6 from 36 starts in her racing career with $35,803 in earnings.

Prior to the sale we learned that Summer Classic had been injured and neglected but was now regaining weight and muscle tone. Trainer Tim Ice, campaigned Summer Bird during his illustrious career, was intrigued by the circumstances and delighted for the opportunity to have Summer Classic in his barn. Tim says that “Classic is a marvelous mover and is responding well to his training and new found love and attention”. This uncommon find is exactly the kind of compelling back story that captivates race fans and offers syndicate partners a chance to revel in “Classic Glory.”
