Please Sign In won her lone stakes in the Midwest and never left Kentucky to be bred. Still, hailing from the same family as international sires Habitat and Northfields, a global blueprint was already within her.

The pride of Alfred Nuckols' Hurstland Farm matriarch has been represented this month with notable 2nd generation runners on both sides of the Atlantic, each produced from a Gr1 winning daughter.

Live Oak Stud homebred Souper Escape, out of from Oak Leaf winner Cry and Catch Me, galloped home a three-and-a-quarter-length winner in Woodbine's Listed La Lorgnette Stakes on September 1st {below}. The daughter of Medaglia d'Oro previously annexed the Christiana Stakes at Delaware Park earlier in the summer amidst a well-traveled 3yo campaign.

The 2nd generation double was nearly pulled off later that same week across the Atlantic at Ascot Racecourse. Law of Peace (Shamardal, blue silks), the first runner out of Cartier champion Certify, was just denied victory by the well-regarded John Gosden-trained Enemy. The seven-furlong contest, Law of Peace's second runner-up finish in as many starts, had that look of a maiden likely to produce several notable 3yos for next year's British season.

Given her strong racing constitution and coveted outcross Please Sign In was an invaluable addition to the Hurstland broodmare band from the very beginning. Her success, however, has far exceeded even her admiring breeder's highest hopes.

Please Sign In is carrying what will be her second foal by American Pharoah and ninth overall. She is currently represented by producing daughters on three continents, including Hurstland's own Sign Up, reacquired by Alfred and son Hurst Nuckols three years ago.

Her story, from a historic Kentucky nursery to generational success worldwide, is precisely the type we strive to begin with every mating or mare purchase.
