New for 2026!
SHOWCASE was a standout, undefeated juvenile who captured the Grade 2 Saratoga Special in dominant fashion and immediately established himself as one of the most talented two year olds of his crop. Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, he possessed enormous natural ability paired with an explosive turn of foot. Pletcher regarded him as his best two year old that year, a colt who displayed professionalism, athleticism, and the kind of natural speed that consistently stands out at the highest levels.
Racing Highlights
SHOWCASE launched his career at Saratoga with a commanding maiden victory, drawing off by 7 and a half lengths and earning TDN Rising Star recognition. He returned to the Spa for the Grade 2 Saratoga Special and delivered another powerful performance, taking control with ease and widening his margin to win by three and a half lengths over quality competition, including a future stakes winner. His races were defined by his ability to settle comfortably off the pace before unleashing an exceptional turn of foot.
Pedigree & Analysis
SHOWCASE is by leading sire Uncle Mo, a champion two year old and one of the most influential stallions of his generation, known for producing early-developing, athletic, and commercially appealing runners. Uncle Mo’s offspring excel across surfaces and distances, and they consistently carry the same brilliance and precocity that made him a standout on the track.
SHOWCASE’s dam, Buy Sell Hold, by Violence, adds even more juvenile strength as a stakes-winning two year old and full-sister to Grade 1 winner Volatile, reinforcing the deep speed and class in this family.
As a $300,000 Keeneland September yearling, SHOWCASE presented the pedigree, physical quality, and market presence breeders look for. With elite juvenile form, a powerful sire line, and a dam line proven to produce fast, forward performers, he offers breeders an opportunity to tap into natural speed, commercial appeal, and reliable juvenile excellence suited to the New York program.
