Although it took Lacie Be Good a while to find her stride (from her first five starts, all in tough maiden special weight company, she managed just a single 3rd-place finish), once she put it all together she proved to be a quick and talented runner. After she broke her maiden by 3-1/4 lengths going 6-1/2 furlongs, she reeled off four straight allowance victories at 7-1/2 furlongs (by 8 lengths), at 7-1/2 furlongs (by 4-1/2 lengths), at 7 furlongs (by a half-length), and going 1-1/16 miles (by 3-1/4 lengths). She then just missed black-type at Pimlico and Prairie Meadows. Her first four wins all came at Delta Downs for Tom Amoss, and her final victory was at Oaklawn for a $140k purse.
Lacie Be Good earned a total of $203,585, and her Equibase Speed Figures got as high as a 101. So she had ability, and also has the pedigree to go with it.
Her sire, Good Magic, is one of the rising young stars among the stallion ranks. The Eclipse Champion 2YO of his generation, he sired Kentucky Derby winner Mage in his first crop and Belmont winner Dornoch (plus Grade 1 winner Muth) from his second crop, and will stand for an advertised fee of $125,000 in 2025.
Lacie Be Good’s dam, meanwhile, was the black-type winner Lacie Slew (by Mineshaft), who is the dam of seven other foals, all of which have raced and five of which have won, including the six-figure earner Boss Cara. Second dam Lacie Girl (by Editor’s Note), was a multiple black-type winner and Grade 3-placed, and has also produced the black-type winner Prettypriceygirl (she in turn the dam of G3 winner Big Call).
So there is plenty of depth to her page to match that racing ability, and we think that gives her every right to be a successful broodmare in New York for a breed-to-race program after we acquired her on behalf of CJT Stables, LLC, at the ’24 Keeneland November Sale for $45,000 as a broodmare prospect.
