When Include sired two Grade 1 winners from his very first crop, it ensured that he would be heavily sought after in the coming breeding seasons. His 2011 crop of 3-year-olds represents this first big crop that came on the heels of his early success, and it has continued to live up to every expectation. Her Smile became her sire’s 7th stakes winner from this sophomore crop, a truly astounding number for this early in their racing careers, with her impressive win in Monday’s Grade 1 Prioress Stakes at Belmont. Privately purchased by Bobby Flay from her owner-breeder William Backer, Her Smile looks to have a big, BIG future under the training of Todd Pletcher. Congratulations to all the connections of this top filly. And don’t forget, Include’s best bred crop hits the track this year as two-year-olds of 2011…for a stallion that has always significantly improved his mares, the future couldn’t look brighter for Include!
