La Conquistadora

La Conquistadora  NY bred filly by NYQUIST, the 2016 Kentucky Derby and 2015 Breeders Cup Juvenile winner. Out of the Speightstown mare Court Dress, she was purchased at the Fasig Tipton October Yearling Sale in 2021. Bloodstock agent Nick Hines signed the ticket for International Equine and led the advocacy for her purchase along with Clark Shepherd of Shepherd Equine Advisors. She is already a half-sister to two black-type stakes runners in Running Ray and Estillo Feminino  and comes from the family of Dubai World Cup Winner, WELL ARMED. This family includes other notable Graded Stakes winner such as CYBERKNIFE, MONDAY MORNING QB, WELL DRESSED, PLAYED HARD and Japanese 3-Year-Old Champion SYMBOLI KRIS S.   Campaigned by Kelly Breen, she was our stable’s first winner, taking down a maiden special weight race at Belmont Park going 9f on turf in June of 2023.

La Conquistadora has since moved on, as she was a highly desired broodmare and was offered for purchase at the 2024 Keeneland January sale.   We wish her new connections the best of luck and look forward to seeing her babies on the track and in the sales ring.
