DAVID COPPERFIELD is a Multiple Grade 3 winner, Grade 1 and Grade 2 placed. The son of HALO stands at Poplar Creek Horse Center in Bethel, Ohio.
He is a Multiple graded stakes winner and $2.6 million sales horse. He is the last son of sire of sires Halo to take up duties in the breeding shed.
DAVID COPPERFIELD began his career in flamboyant style. He defeated $4 million yearling and future Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus at Hollywood Park, in his initial start, on the dirt. He moved through his conditions quickly, placing in the $250,000 California Derby in his first stakes try and taking the Cinema H.-G3 in his next start. Initially racing for 505 Farms, he was temporarily taken out of training to sell in Marshall Naify’s estate dispersal sale as a 3-year-old, where he realized a phenomenal $2.6 million. He continued his career for The Thoroughbred Corp. and won or placed in a total of eight stakes, six of which were graded, including the Hollywood Derby-G1, Oak Tree Derby-G2, San Gabriel-G2, and Bay Meadows Breeders’ Cup-G3.
Halo has been a tremendous sire of sires, as seen by sons like Sunday Silence and Devils Bag.
Bred by Jack Mandato in Kentucky, DAVID COPPERFIELD is out of the multiple stakes-winning mare Bannockburn. She also produced G2 winner Bella Chiarra, additional stakes winner Hollywood Flash, and four other stakes horses.
DAVID COPPERFIELD, who was trained by John Shirreffs throughout his career is available for showing immediately.
