Grade 3 stakes winner Ocho Ocho Ocho will stand at Haras San Pablo in Lima, Peru, starting in the 2021 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
By Street Sense, out of the Horse Chestnut (SAF) mare Winner, Ocho Ocho Ocho captured the Breeders Cup day undercard Juvenile Turf Sprint Stakes impressively by 5 3/4 lengths (run on dirt due to weather conditions) and the 1 1/16-mile $1-million G3 Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes, beating Grade 1-placed Mr. Z in a tenacious fight, and showing the same E Speed Figure (105) as Goldencents and Gunnevara when they won the same race. Ocho Ocho Ocho remained undefeated as a 2-year-old and is, to date, the best 2-year-old Street Sense colt by earnings.
