Seller's Description
  • 2YO colt won at first asking on April 12th, leading every step of the way and winning well within himself by 3 lengths over the second place finisher and another 11 lengths back to the field

  • Ran a 9 on Thoroughmanager, an 82 E-Figure and a 17+ Ragozin

    • How fast is a 9 on Thoroughmanager? Faster than the 11 2YO Champion CLASSIC EMPIRE ran in his 4.5F debut!

    • The start of Mensa's career is eerily similar to that of Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner CLASSIC EMPIRE.

    • Both trained by Mark Casse and both broke their maidens at 4.5F. But Mensa did it faster than CLASSIC EMPIRE! 

  • Mensa is entered in the $250,000 Kentucky Juvenile Stakes at Churchill Downs on Thursday, May 2nd.

    • New owner will be able to run in their silks for the Kentucky Juvenile.

    • Mark Casse will be trainer of record if new owner decides to run in the Kentucky Juvenile. 

    • The horse can be moved to a different trainer after the race.

    • New owner has no obligation to run in the Kentucky Juvenile.

  • Mensa is by Complexity, a first out winner at 2 and a Grade One winner at 2 in the Champagne Stakes.

  • Brought $135,000 as an OBS October Yearling, the highest price for Complexity and 3rd highest price overall in the sale.

  • Mensa is a half-sibling to two stakes horses that broke their maidens at 2 and were stakes winners or stakes placed at 2.

    • RECRUITER: Undefeated in three starts at 2 and a stakes winner at 2 and 3.

    • Miss Sayely: A winner and stakes placed at 2. Currently in training and ran 4th last out in a stakes race at Tampa.
