Second crop sire Our Emblem and Grade 3 winner Disco Rico have been added to the stallion roster for the 2002 season at Allen and Audrey Murray's Murmur Farm near Darlington, Maryland. Our Emblem, a Grade 1-placed winner out of undefeated champion Personal Ensign, relocates to Maryland after standing his first five seasons at Claiborne Farm near Paris, Kentucky. The ten-year-old son of Mr. Prospector will stand for $4,000, $3,500 less than he stood for in 2001 in Central Kentucky.

Disco Rico was retired after scoring his fifth stakes victory of the year in the Lite the Fuse Stakes on October 27 at Laurel Park. The four-year-old Maryland-bred son of Citidancer out of Round It Off, by Apalachee, will stand his initial season for $4,000.

Our Emblem, a full brother to Grade 1 winners Miner's Mark and Traditionally and a half brother to Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) winner My Flag, has sired 21 individual winners from 47 starters in his first two crops. Our Emblem is the sire of Uncle Punk, winner of this season's Inaugural Stakes at Arapahoe Park and earner of $31,744.

Our Emblem is also the sire of It All Adds Up, who was third in this year's Comely Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct, and Private Emblem, second in the 2001 Sleepy Hollow Stakes at Belmont Park. He has lifetime progeny earnings of $757,199 through Monday.

Bred in Kentucky by Ogden Phipps and trained by Shug McGaughey, Our Emblem won five of 27 career starts with five seconds and five thirds and earned $366,013. He placed in six stakes events in 1995, including a runner-up effort in Aqueduct's Carter Handicap (G1) and third-place finishes in both the Metropolitan Handicap (G1) and Vosburgh Stakes (G1) at Belmont.

Disco Rico stamped himself as one of the East Coast's top sprinters this season with five wins—all in stakes—in nine starts for $349,644 in earnings. Campaigned by Alfred Dirico and trained by Valora Testerman, Disco Rico won the Maryland Breeders' Cup Handicap (G3) at Pimlico Race Course and the 2000 Jersey Shore Breeders' Cup Stakes (G3) at Monmouth Park.

Disco Rico is the first foal produced by stakes-placed winner Round It Off, a half sister to Grade 2 winner and $535,863-earner Miss Slewpy.—Tom Law
