Ocala Stud’s Jess’s Dream, the regally-bred son of Horses of the Year Curlin and Rachel Alexandra, sired his first reported foal on over the weekend when a colt was born at Fred Brei’s Jacks or Better Farm in Ocala, Fla.

Bred by Jacks or Better, the bay colt is out of the three-time stakes winner and graded stakes-placed mare Redbud Road, by Awesome of Course. Redbud Rose scored her biggest wins on the racetrack as a 2-year-old, winning the J J'sdream S. & Florida Stallion Desert Vixen S. at Calder.

Jess’s Dream is by champion Curlin out of champion Rachel Alexandra, making him the only horse at stud whose sire and dam were both Horses of the Year. A Stonestreet homebred, Jess’s Dream came on the radar after impressively winning his debut at Saratoga.

Jess’s Dream bred 122 mares in his first book in 2017, which was the most by a first-year stallion in Florida, and second-most overall in Florida. He is set to stand his second season at Ocala Stud in Florida for a fee of $5,000 stands and nurses.
