The Undisputed "Buzz Horse" is a Filly

Lady Blitz (formerly Patsy's Kim)

Dark Bay Filly (Audible x Lady Blitz - Dixie Union) - Going to Todd Pletcher - NY/Kentucky - Foaled Mar 19, 2021

MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED

Lady Blitz looks the part - she's stunning, she has all the physical attributes and she's training extremely well. She's been called the "Poster Child" of all the trainees, because of how well and how willingly she's performed every part of the training phase. She was the highest selling first crop daughter of Audible in the US in 2022 and Audible was an outstanding racehorse who is also the son of super sire Into Mischief.

Lady Blitz's dam is an unraced daughter of Dixie Union who is sibling to stakes winners, and her second dam is a stakes winner by Slew Machine. In spite of being sired by an as-yet unproven sire and an unraced dam, she's still grabbed a lot of peoples' attention!

Her trainer, Ciaran Dunne, has been very complimentary of her progress and recently said of her: "I imagine she'll be one with a big future." While at the event, we spoke to another partner whose family had been in the business since he was six and had been associated with one of the top farms. He asked which horse or horses we were partners on, and when we got to Lady Blitz he smiled and said, "That one is the real deal."

Lady Blitz is going to top trainer Todd Pletcher and she has the look of a two-turn dirt filly, so we have high hopes that she realizes the expectations so many have placed on her at this early stage.

Our Take

Lady Blitz is a standout, for sure. She and one of the colts seemed to be the two that generated the most excitement among the owners in this pretty stellar group of 2YOs. This tall, leggy dark bay filly is certainly acting the part in her training, at least to date. In spite of her quiet appearance on the track and in the walking ring, she displayed quite a bit of attitude when we visited her in her stall later. David commented that he really loved her fire.
