1–EXPRESS KID, 121, c, 2, by Bodexpress
1st Dam: Sensationalize, by Street Sense
Express Kid: A notable two-year-old colt who recently won the $300,000 Remington Springboard Mile Stakes, earning qualifying points for the 2026 Kentucky Derby. He was purchased for just $2,000 as a yearling at the Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders Association Fall Mixed sale.
A bonus for his win….the owners of the top three finishers in the Springboard Mile received a special complimentary 2026 breeding season ($7,500) to Lane’s End stallion Senor Buscador (by Mineshaft)
Bodexpress stud fee $3,500
A G1W and MGSP son of Bodemeister – who, from 11 crops, has produced 32 stakes winners and 2 champions. In the 2019 G1 Xpressbet Florida Derby, BODEXPRESS was runner-up to MG1W MAXIMUM SECURITY and beat MG1W CODE OF HONOR. He defeated CODE OF HONOR a second time, along with MGSW BY MY STANDARDS in the G1 Clark Stakes. BODEXPRESS earned 3 Triple Digit Beyer Speed Figures.
Sensationalize
Sire (Father): Street Sense, a champion two-year-old colt and G1 winner of over $4 million, who stands at Jonabell Farm.
Dam (Mother): Stormy West, a multiple stakes-winning and Grade 2-placed mare.
Racing Career: Sensationalize herself had a modest but successful racing career, winning two races and over $77,000.
A $2,000 purchase for a yearling who was sired by a stallion with a $7,500 stud fee….very affordable. Question is how does this happen, while numerous runners are already in second careers that were purchased for thousands of dollars by a stallion with a high stud fee. Good question…if you have the answer to that be sure to share.
