It was appropriate that Sky Mesa won the prestigious Hopeful at Saratoga in 2002. The roster of Hopeful winners includes Secretariat, Affirmed, Buckpasser, Hail to Reason, Native Dancer, and Nashua. Each of those legends can be found not only in the Hall of Fame but also in the pedigree of Sky Mesa. After his win in New York, Sky Mesa then went to Keeneland for the $400,000 G2 Breeders' Futurity, where he cruised to a four-length victory in his first try around two turns. Sky Mesa completed his juvenile campaign with three wins in three starts, and a 122-pound rating on the Experimental Free Handicap, third best of his generation. A series of minor ailments derailed Sky Mesa's Classic aspirations, but he re-emerged on the racetrack in early summer, posting game efforts in the Grade II Dwyer and $1,000,000 Grade I Haskell, where he defeated dual Classic winner Funny Cide by more than seven lengths. Sky Mesa is the complete sire package: race record, great looks and pure pedigree.
