THE CREATION OF AN EMPIRE

Juddmonte farm is pleased to announce the arrival of the first EMPIRE MAKER foal, a filly out of Dokki, a notable mare from the Juddmonte broodmare band being a multiple Grade 1 producer.

“EMPIRE MAKER’s first foal weighed in at 131 pounds and she’s outstanding … with size,
scope, and tremendous presence, just like EMPIRE MAKER,” said Juddmonte Farms Manager Garrett O’Rourke in Lexington, Kentucky.

The newborn filly comes from a star studded family being a half sister to Aptitude another stallion from the Juddmonte Roster, winner of the 2001 Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1) and Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes (G1) and runner-up in the 2000 Kentucky Derby (G1) and Belmont Stakes (G1), and to 1995 HollywoodOaks (G1) winner Sleep Easy.

Five-year-old EMPIRE MAKER is out of 2002 Broodmare of the Year Toussaud and is a half brother to Grade 1 winners Chester House, Honest Lady, and Chiselling and to Grade 2 winner Decarchy. EMPIRE MAKER won the 2003 Belmont Stakes G1), Florida Derby (G1), and Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) and finished second in the Kentucky Derby.

EMPIRE MAKER stands for $100,000 (live foal).
