Represented by his first crop is Accelerate. Sired by a son of Smart Strike, who was the first horse to earn honors as champion at two and three in the U.S. since Spectacular Bid in 1979-1980, cwas both extremely class and extremely durable. Best at ten furlongs on the dirt, he was a Group stakes winner at two, three, four, and five. He peaked in the last of those years when he earned six of his nine stakes’ victories including the Gr. 1 Breeders’ Cup Classic. 

Accelerate’s first crop are now two, and he is represented by a duo here. The first of these, lot 7, consigned by Hyde Park Stud is out of Camielee, a daughter of Harlan’s Holiday. Camielee never ran, but she is the dam of five winners from her first four foals, headed by the speedy and precocious Vodka and Water, winner of the Kentucky Juvenile Stakes. Camielee is a half-sister to another fast horse in Bobby Abu Dhabi, winner of the Gr. 2 Kona Gold Stakes.
