A Case of You wins the 2021 Prix de l’Abbaye at ParisLongchamp
Dual group 1-winning sprinter A Case of You is to take up residency at Drakenstein Stud in South Africa for the 2024 breeding season, in a deal brokered by Robin Bruss of Northfields Bloodstock.
The son of Hot Streak provided trainer Ado McGuinness and owner Gary Devlin with a magical ride in 2021, from winning the Lacken Stakes (G3) to a narrow second in the Flying Five Stakes (G1) and victory in the Prix de l'Abbaye (G1). A Case of You then went on to be fifth in the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1T) at Del Mar. The following year he struck again at the top level in the Al Quoz Sprint (G1T) in Dubai.
Last year, an offer was accepted by connections from Australian interests, and he finished fifth in a couple of group 1 sprints for the Mick Price and Michael Kent training partnership before retiring. He bankrolled $1,427,755 with seven wins from 22 starts.
"A Case of You represented a great opportunity to get a terrifically fast horse with different bloodlines into South Africa," Drakenstein said. "We are excited to stand him and look forward to his career going forward."
The operation belonging to the Rupert family outside Cape Town also has its homebred champion Charles Dickens and the first son of Frankel to stand in South Africa, Sharp Frank, as new arrivals on its roster.
