Spendthrift Farm's freshman sire Mitole landed his first winner at Nal'chik Hippodrome in Russia May 9 when his son Mit Myth won a six-furlong locally recognized, non-black-type group 3 stakes on dirt for juveniles called the Probniy Prize.
Mit Myth won his career debut for owner Volgogradskiy Stud Farm and trainer Hatkov Shamil. The Mitole colt won by a nose over fellow United States-bred Red Raund (by Oscar Performance ). Finishing third was another American-bred named Parizh (Goldencents ). The final time was 1:15.30.
Tin Roof Farms in Louisiana bred Mit Myth out of the Artie Schiller daughter Family Myth, who has also produced stakes-placed winner Family Creed (Jimmy Creed ). The mare is a half sister to stakes winner and multiple stakes producer Sweet Seventeen. Family Myth has a yearling colt by Honor A. P. and a 2023 colt by Gift Box .
Stuart Morris consigned both Family Myth and Mit Myth at the 2022 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale where he sold the mare for $34,000 to Frankly Speaking Racing and sold the colt for $30,000 to Delta Bloodstock.
Mitole is a four-time grade 1 winner by Eskendereya. He won the 2019 Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) on his way to being named Eclipse champion male sprinter for the year. Mitole and Omaha Beach , who also stands at Spendthrift, are the first in their freshman stallion class to sire winners. Mitole stands for $15,000.
