Breeders' Cup heroine Newspaperofrecord retired and set to visit Galileo

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Newspaperofrecord has run her last race and will visit perennial champion sire Galileo next year after being sold privately, trainer Chad Brown has confirmed.

The daughter of Lope De Vega, who aside from her Breeders' Cup win, also struck in the Grade 1 Just A Game Stakes at Belmont in June was a 200,000gns purchase from Book 1 of the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale in 2017.

Sold by Goldford Stud, Newspaperofrecord is the third foal out of the Sceptre Stakes winner Sunday Times - a Holy Roman Emperor half-sister to Question Times, the Listed-placed dam of Irish Derby hero Latrobe and Oaks runner-up Pink Dogwood - and a half-sister to the stakes-winning Classical Times.

Newspaperofrecord provided her upwardly mobile sire with a first Breeders' Cup success, one swiftly followed by Aunt Pearl's two and a half length win at this year's meeting.

The four-year-old won five of her ten starts and bowed out with a third behind last year's Breeders' Cup Mile heroine Uni in the First Lady Stakes at Keeneland in October.

Sunday Times, who has also produced the winning Gleneagles filly Daily Times, who was bought back by her vendor after reaching 600,000gns at Tattersalls December Mares Sale. She has a Lope De Vega yearling filly and was one of several star producers in Kingman's book this year.
