Mrs. Sippy

Mrs. Sippy made her North American debut a winning one on Aug. 31, taking the Grade 2 Glens Falls Stakes at Saratoga by a half-length after rallying through the stretch and splitting horses.

Bred in Kentucky, the daughter of 2010 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Blame made her first nine starts in Europe, winning twice including a stakes race in France. Brought to the U.S. by owner-breeder Andrew Stone, the 4-year-old filly trained steadily at Graham Motion’s Fair Hills facility before shipping north to Saratoga for her eye-catching win in the Glens Falls.

In her next race, Mrs. Sippy tackled Sistercharlie in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Stakes at Belmont Park on Oct. 6, and stalked right behind that champion through the backstretch before following her through the turn and angling out for a closing kick. Under strong urging from Joel Rosario, Mrs. Sippy continued gamely to the wire but was kept at bay by Sistercharlie, losing by three quarters of a length. She was unplaced in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf in her final start of 2019.

Mrs. Sippy returned from a nine-month layoff in the Grade 3 Waya Stakes Aug. 8, 2020, and finished a game second to My Sister Nat.

Mrs. Sippy is out of the stakes-winning Encosta de Lago mare Qushchi.
