The young stallion Catch The Fire, sired by Captaintreacherous, is making a name for himself with his impressive first crop of foals in North America. Standing at Somerset Farms stud, owned by Pete and Chantal McMullen, Catch The Fire’s offspring are showing promise on the racetrack.
Recently, two of Catch The Fire’s progeny, Cruisinoverfire and My First Fire, showcased their talent by winning qualifying trials at Scioto Downs, Ohio. Both horses displayed their speed by clocking their final quarters in 27.6 seconds. Cruisinoverfire, a son of Catch The Fire out of a Yankee Cruiser mare, and My First Fire, a colt from a mare by Dragon Again, are proving to be promising two-year-old contenders.
Catch The Fire has already seen success with 13 qualifiers from his first foal crop of 50, boasting an impressive 26 percent strike rate early in the two-year-old season. As the fastest entire son of Captaintreacherous, Catch The Fire is living up to his sire’s reputation on the racetrack.
In addition to Catch The Fire’s success, his studmate A Rocknroll Dance has also been making headlines. A Rocknroll Dance recently produced winners like Jaccka Connor, who made a remarkable come-from-behind victory at Melton, and A Fair Ol Dance, who triumphed at Pocono Downs, Pennsylvania. With 107 individual winners and nearly $2 million in progeny earnings, A Rocknroll Dance is climbing the ranks on the All Aged list.
Overall, the future looks bright for Catch The Fire and his offspring as they continue to impress in the harness racing world. With talented young horses like Cruisinoverfire and My First Fire leading the way, it’s clear that Catch The Fire’s legacy is just beginning to unfold on the racetrack.
