By Carpe Diem (by Giant’s Causeway) out of Classy Touch (by Maria’s Mon)

Bucephalus Touch is a colt that offers a top-class pedigree designed for success in the highest levels of racing. He is by Carpe Diem, a Grade 1 winner of the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1) and Tampa Bay Derby (G2), as well as the Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity (G1). Carpe Diem showed his ability in the classic races, with a notable performance in the Kentucky Derby (G1) in 2015, where he finished 10th after being a prominent contender in the prep races. As a son of Giant’s Causeway, Carpe Diem brings an ideal mix of stamina and speed, traits that have made him an exciting young sire.

The dam of Bucephalus Touch, Classy Touch, is by Maria’s Mon, a Grade 1 winner known for his own classic success. Maria’s Mon sired Monarchos, the Kentucky Derby winner in 2001. Classy Touch is out of Flute, a Grade 1 winner of the Kentucky Oaks (G1) and the Alabama Stakes (G1), both of which solidified her place as a top-class filly. Flute is by Seattle Slew, the legendary Triple Crown winner of 1977, whose influence on stamina and raceability is present in Bucephalus Touch’s pedigree.

Bucephalus Touch’s pedigree is rich with proven classic ability and stamina, backed by an impeccable maternal family. The colt carries inbreeding to Blushing Groom (FR) and Caro (IRE), appearing 5S x 4D, which enhances the genetic potential for both speed and stamina. 

Dosage Profile: 4 – 6 -12 – 0 – 0

This Dosage Profile indicates Bucephalus Touch’s potential for middle and classic-distance races, with a slight preference for speed. His Dosage Index (DI) of 2.67 places him firmly in the classic range, ideal for competitive racing at longer distances. The Center of Distribution (CD) of +0.64 further suggests a lean towards speed, while still maintaining enough stamina for top-tier races.

Key Achievements of Bucephalus Touch’s Pedigree:

Carpe Diem (Sire):

  • Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1) – 1st place (2015)
  • Tampa Bay Derby (G2) – 1st place (2015)
  • Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity (G1) – 1st place (2014)
  • Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (G1) – 2nd place (2014)

Carpe Diem showed his talent across multiple top-level races, capturing major victories and establishing himself as one of the top colts of his generation. His pedigree, being by Giant’s Causeway, gives him the stamina for classic races, while his success as a sire shows his ability to pass on those traits.

Classy Touch (Dam):

Classy Touch’s career was cut short by injury, but still highlighted by key performances. Her pedigree, being by Maria’s Mon, strengthens the bloodlines for stamina and classic potential. She is the product of Flute, a Grade 1 winning filly with an outstanding pedigree. Classy Touch herself was sold for over $300,000 at auction and is out of Flute, a celebrated winner of the Kentucky Oaks, and sired by the legendary Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew.

Flute was one of the top fillies of her generation, with multiple Grade 1 victories, including the Kentucky Oaks and Alabama Stakes. Her pedigree is strengthened by being by Seattle Slew, one of the greatest racehorses of all time, who won the Triple Crown in 1977 and passed on his exceptional stamina and racing ability to his progeny.

  • Sanford Stakes (G3) – 1st place (1995) – 99 Beyer Speed Figure

Pedigree Summary:

Bucephalus Touch brings together the finest genetics for classic distance races, backed by multiple generations of Grade 1 winning talent. His sire, Carpe Diem, demonstrated his own class with victories in the Blue Grass Stakes and Tampa Bay Derby, while his dam, Classy Touch, benefits from the incredible influence of Flute, a Kentucky Oaks winner and daughter of the iconic Seattle Slew. The influence of Maria’s Mon, a Grade 1 winner and the sire of Monarchos, reinforces the colt’s bloodlines with more classic-winning genetics.

After successfully completing his training at Randy Rentz Training Center in South Carolina, Bucephalus Touch is now under the expert care of renowned trainer Scott Lake at Parx Racetrack in Pennsylvania, where he is ready to begin his racing career.
