Heatseeker (Ire)'s Highlights

GRADE 1-WINNING MILLIONAIRE & 4-TIME TRACK RECORD SETTER

Won the $1,000,000 Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap establishing a New Track Record for a mile and a quarter
in 2:00 2/5
– posting one of the highest Beyers of 2008 at more than a mile on dirt.

Won the Grade 2 Californian S. by 5 1/4 lengths establishing a New Track Record for a mile and an eighth in 1:47 flat.
Set a New Track Record for 7 furlongs at Santa Anita in 1:20 4/5.

Heatseeker was a precocious 2YO who broke his maiden in July of his 2YO season and would go on to place
in the Group 1 National S. to Champion George Washington (G1) in only his third start at 2.

Earned a -3 rating from Jerry Brown's Thoro-Graph Sheets.

Giant's Causeway's most accomplished main track runner in N. America. First 3 dams are each Grade 1 producers and there are
40 Stakes horses under his first 3 dams including a Classic winner and 4 Champions. Truly a Pedigree with International Appeal.

"...Heatseeker seems primed and targeted to make a mark in history." – Jay Hovdey / DRF, 6/26/08
