TDN's #BreedersCup40 Celebration continues today with MIDNIGHT LUTE 🏆 "His Breeders' Cup at Monmouth in the slop was one of the best races I've seen," recalled Eddie Woods, who broke the champion son of Real Quiet. And it was just the first in a two-part series of showcasing his devastating closing speed in the GI breederscup Sprint, starting off with a 4 3/4 lengths victory in the 2007 edition and successfully defending his title the next year, winning by 1 3/4 lengths in 2008. Retiring a 3x Grade I winner with $2,690,600 in career earnings, Midnight Lute stands at hillndalefarms. 👉 Read about him in Sunday’s TDN America or over at thetdn.com 📸: Midnight Lute following his '08 GI Sprint victory at monmouthparkracetrack (second photo)
