Drill Retires to Get Away Farm, Will Command $4,500 Fee
Drill, a multiple graded stakes-winning son of Eclipse Champion Lawyer Ron, has taken up residence at Manny Andrade's Get Away Farm north of Ocala, FL for the 2015 breeding season.
Drill came out of the box quickly as a 2-year-old, breaking his maiden at Del Mar in his second start, then winning the G1 Del Mar Futurity over 4-5 favorite Creative Cause just 25 days later. In his next start he finished second to Creative Cause in the Gr. I Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita. At the conclusion of his juvenile season, Drill was co-ranked 12th with Eclipse Champion Sprinter Trinniberg on the 2011 Experimental Handicap, above such future stars as I'll Have Another, Take Charge Indy and Optimizer.
As a 3-year-old, Drill won the G2 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita and the G3 Laz Barrera Memorial at Hollywood Park. In his career, he finished in the top four in 12 graded stakes, five of them G1s, and earned $557,022.
Drill's dam is the Storm Cat mare Cat Dancer, who was purchased for $885,000 as a broodmare prospect at the 2006 Keeneland January Sale. She then sold for $1.4 million in foal to Tiznow at the 2011 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Mixed Sale. Her 2008 foal, Javanese, brought $1.5 million at Saratoga as a yearling. This is the female family of 3-year-old Champion Little Current, winner of the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
