After tracking her for a year, we claimed Cabra Chica in late 2024 in order to add her to our broodmare band, and she will be bred for the first time in 2025.
Bred in Maryland by the Bowmans, Cabra Chica won 11 of her 47 starts from 2- through 5-years-old, finished 2nd ten times and 3rd six times, earning a total of $278,308. Her wins came from 5 furlongs to 7 furlongs on fast, good and sloppy tracks. Her speed and consistency led to her being claimed no fewer than ten times during her career.
Cabra Chica was a $15,000 yearling purchase from the Fasig-Tipton Timonium sale, and is a daughter of Larry Johnson’s Maryland-bred Grade 3 winner and successful regional stallion Street Magician. She is out of the unraced My Rib, who is the dam of ten foals of racing age, of which nine have started and eight have won, including the multiple black-type winner My Magician — a full-sister to Cabra Chica who triumphed in the Maryland Million Lassie, the Dashing Beauty, the Geisha and the Politely Stakes, while earning $454,242. My Rib is also the dam of black-type placed Miss Philly Dilly (by Tritap), and the six-figure earners Louise the Laser and Next Street (the latter another full-sister to Cabra Chica). My Rib’s last foal is a Great Notion colt of 2023.
Cabra Chica’s dam My Rib is a half-sister to the Maryland Million Oaks winner Undercover, as well as to the unraced Merriweather, whose ten winning foals include the Grade 3-placed black-type winner Vielsalm — better known as the dam of 2024 graded stakes winner and Maryland-bred Horse of the Year Post Time (by Frosted), who has been victorious in the Grade 2 Carter and Grade 3 General George, and placed in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, the G1 Met Mile and the G1 Whitney.
A leggy, muscular individual built like the sprinter that she was on the track, we believe that Cabra Chica’s precocity, speed and grit will make her a successful broodmare and she’s suited to a wide range of stallions. She has been bred to Army Mule in 2025 for her first foal. You can see more photos of her here.
