Puca at Resolute | Sarah Andrew<\/p>\n

Puca (Big Brown), the dam of the classic winning full-brothers Mage<\/a> (Good Magic<\/a>) and Dornoch, will be offered at Fasig-Tipton’s ‘Night of the Stars’ Nov. 3, John Stewart told Ron Flatter on his podcast on Horse Racing Nation on Friday.<\/p>\n

Stewart, the owner of Resolute Racing, told Flatter that Puca had not gotten into foal this year. \u201cShe’s 13 [and] she’s empty. The broodmare of the year, we’re taking her to the Night of the Stars, and we’ll see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stewart said on the podcast that he expected a $5-million reserve would be set for Puca, who was taken home by Resolute for $2.9-million during Keeneland November in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s going to take north of $5 million to buy her,\u201d Stewart said. \u201cWe paid $2.9 million for her. I don’t want to put horses with unrealistic expectations even though some people think that. You know, the guy that [says] his toys are always worth more than everybody else’s toys. I’m an investor at the end of the day. I may think she’s worth $20 million, right? That’s not like a market asset.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Stewart purchased her, a full-brother to Mage<\/a> and Dornoch was in-utero. The productive mare is also responsible for MGISP Baeza (McKinzie<\/a>) and an early May filly once again by Good Magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe foaled late this year,\u201d said Resolute’s owner. \u201cWe were going to send her to Frankel<\/a>. That’s what I would do if I had kept her. He’s the best stallion in the world. I think that there’s turf in the pedigree. She’s already proven on dirt what she can do. To take her to the next level and showing her [via turf], I understand that. But there’s a commercial part of this business as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Puca is not in foal after having visited multiple leading North American sire Into Mischief.<\/p>\n

During the podcast, Stewart told Flatter that buying Puca back could be a possibility.<\/p>\n
