C2 Racing Stable LLC and La Milagrosa Stable LLC’s White Abarrio (Race Day – Catching Diamonds by Into Mischief) punched his ticket for Louisville, Ky. Saturday at Gulfstream Park, where the grey colt held off Charge It to capture the $1 million Curlin Florida Derby (G1) presented by Hill ‘n’ Dale at Xalapa.
The colt was originally a $7,500 ‘short’ yearling purchase by Jose Ordonez from the 2020 Ocala breeders’ Sales Winter Mixed Sale. In 2021 he was then sold for $40,000 at the OBS March sale to Carlos Perez, who trained the colt for La Milagrosa Stable for his first race. The colt won that 6 1/2 furlong sprint at Gulfstream by 6 3/4 lengths and was then sold privately to C2 Thoroughbreds. La Milagrosa owns a share in the colt.
