Grade 1 winner COLLUSION ILLUSION, who stands at Ballycroy Bloodstock near Loretto, ON, was represented by his first foal when Law Abidin Annie produced a filly early on the morning of February 1. Law Abidin Annie, an unraced five-year-old by Street Sense, is a full sister to graded stakes-placed Sweet Swingin and a half-sister to multiple graded stakes winner Law Abidin Citizen. This is the immediate family of Grey Stakes (G3) and Black Gold Handicap winner Truth Of It All and Grade 1 winner I Ain’t Bluffing.
The new filly was bred by Dan Agnew, who was a co-owner of Collusion Illusion during his racing career.
Collusion Illusion (Twirling Candy – Natalie Grace, by First Dude) won the first two starts of his career as a two-year-old including the Best Pal Stakes (G2) at Del Mar. As a three-year-old, the Mark Glatt-trained colt reeled off three straight victories in California including the Laz Barrera Stakes (G3) and the Bing Crosby Stakes (G1), defeating, coincidentally, Law Abidin Citizen, among others.
