DREAMING OF ANNA RETIRED
-----------------------------------

Dreaming of Anna, a filly by Rahy out of the Broad Brush mare Justenuffheart, and a Breeder's Cup champion, has been retired to Robert N. Clay's Three Chimneys Farm. She will become a broodmare for owner/breeder Frank C. Calabrese. Breeding plans have not yet been secured.

A filly bred in Kentucky and a full sister to Lewis Michael (who will be retired to Three Chimneys in 2009), Dreaming of Anna's biggest win came in the Breeder's Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) of 2006. She went unbeaten that same year. Eight other stakes wins included the Pucker Up (GIII), Hillsborough (GIII), Endeavor (GIII), and Early Times Mint Julep Handicap (GIII). She placed in the 2007 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (GII).

Dreaming of Anna's last race was the October 3rd First Lady Stakes (GIT) at Keeneland, in which she finished sixth.

"She came out of the race very good. We wanted her to go out a winner," says trainer Wayne Catalano, "but not as much as we wanted to see her go out happy and sound. She won some big races, but it's hard to top a Breeder's Cup win."

Dreaming of Anna finished her racing career with 10 wins and 4 placings out of seventeen lifetime starts. She earned a total of $2,024,550. ~Equine Lover
