It’s easy to jump on the BANDBOX bandwagon!
In his first crop he sired Maryland Million Nursery first and third-place finishers Follow the Dog and Outofthepark, 2019 stakes-placed Bunting and has 70% winners/starters. In his second crop, he has a $120,000 2-year-old sales horse and ranks among the region’s leading sires by juvenile winners.
The strikingly handsome gray son of three-time leading sire TAPIT was a stakes performer each of the four years he competed, counting among his wins the Gr. 3 General George H. at 7 fur. by 4 lengths. He was an exciting juvenile, winning three of four starts at three different tracks, two stakes, and was fourth in the Gr. 2 Remsen behind To Honor and Serve and Mucho Macho Man after a troubled trip. He captured the 1 mi. Private Terms S. at 3 and was second in the 6-fur. Maryland Sprint H.-G3 at 4.
He finished first, second or third 10 times (seven stakes) in 15 starts while amassing $390,345.
BANDBOX is one of five winners from five foals for his dam, from the family of champions SENOR ACUNA and SENORA SIMONA.
