Fifty six Ina Row

[Olivia65]

Was just wondering if anyone had information on where he was sent. I heard that he was sent out of the U.S. a few years back. I don' t see a death certificate at JC but not everyone files one. Also, anyone know a recent number for the Blue Sky Training Center in Cuyama, California. The number and email addy from CTBA website are both out of order. Thanks in advance!!

Issue of "Bloodhorse" from when he won that stakes.

Stood in CA in 1999, per the Jockey Club.

His record then: Fifty Six Ina Row 3 2 67% CA

Don and his dad were also successful with importing hors-
es from Argentina, namely the stakes winners Lucie Manet
and Star Ball. Those, however, paled in comparison to his
dad’s homebred Dimaggio, the West Coast’s leading juvenile
colt of 1974. Sired by the unraced Bold Ruler stallion Bold
Hitter and named for Hall of Fame baseball slugger Joe
DiMaggio, the colt became the first Valpredo horse to cap-
ture a $100,000 race when he won the grade II Hollywood
Juvenile Championship, over fellow Cal-bred The Bagel
Prince, in stakes record time of 1:08 3/5.
Dimaggio also ran third in the Del Mar Futurity and set a
1 1/16-mile track record at Fresno while winning the Harvest
Handicap at four. He retired to Old English Rancho with
$177,600 in earnings. Widely underrated as a stallion, he
sired a pair of California champions in Prince Spellbound
and Purdue King and countless stakes-winning fillies that
became prolific broodmares.
“Dimaggio was very symbolic of my family’s success in the
Thoroughbred industry,” Valpredo added. “We still have
many horses in our program that trace back to him.”
Don also had the great fortune to be associated with that
stallion’s good son, Fifty Six Ina Row. A third generation
homebred for the Valpredo family, the colt was so named to
commemorate DiMaggio’s 1941 hitting streak of 56 straight.
The equine version made headlines at three when he upset
Precisionist in the 1984 National Sprint Championship at
Hollywood Park, setting a new six furlong track record of
1:09 2/5 in the process.Even though Fifty Six Ina Row scored two more stakes
wins and broke Hollywood’s track record for seven furlongs,
this earner of $355,650 never received a state-bred champi-
onship. That would come a few years later, when the family’s
Purdue King captured four stakes en route to honors as Cali-
fornia’s champion juvenile male of 1987. He ran unplaced in
Winning Colors’ Kentucky Derby the following year.
Dimaggio is also the maternal grandsire of Soviet Prob-
lem, the brilliant filly Don bred and raced with John Harris.

I just noticed this post. This is my mare Charbell's sire.

Lkmote,

It is so cool to find someone that has another mare by FSIR!! Do you know anything more about him? I'd love to find out any info you might have!
Thanks,
Olivia

Olivia,
No I don't know anything about him. I wish I did though. I'd like to know more about my mare. I am planning on breeding her at some point. I'll have to take some nice pictures of her so you can see what she looks like.
She is chestnut, a great mover and big boned.

Yes, my mare is a big girl as well! We actually just bred her for our first home bred this last april. She is due in March. I am super excited to see what she ends up giving us. Everyone is always saying how she is very large in bone and also her overall size! I will try and get some more pictures of her as well.

Hey guys, I think I may have found Fifty Six ina Row, I think he is being used as a stud in Korea. Does anyone here know Korean? If you google FSIR all this information that has to be translated from Korean Racing Information comes up and the translation is not very good. Any ideas as to how to get it translated?

Thanks.
Olivia
