While Taylor Made Sales Agency has a trio of graduates in the 147th Kentucky Derby (G1),
Sainthood has the deepest ties to the family firm.
Like Arkansas Derby (G1) winner Super Stock and Tampa Bay Derby (G2) hero Helium, Sainthood was sold as part of the Taylor Made consignment on behalf of their breeders. But Taylor Made President Duncan Taylor was involved in the partnership that bred Sainthood, Edward Taylor and Bill Nichols’ Springland Farm, and the yearling was initially purchased for one of Taylor Made’s investment entities. Moreover, the colt’s sire, Mshawish, stands at Taylor Made Stallions, and dam Lemon Hero was the veteran of several sales under the company banner.
