Having been the home of Jamaica’s top stud for two years, Ian Parsard’s Paradise at Spring Village Farm is strengthening its lineup with a 3rd place winner Mo Mosa .
The 6 year old son of the lord Uncle Mo was recently purchased for $50,000 by bloodline dealer Chad Schumer at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale from a Taylor Made Sales Agent shipment.
“He’s a big, strong horse with a very deep family behind him,” Schumer said of Mo Mosa. “When you look out and see Uncle Mo’s other sons in their prime, almost all of them can be considered successful. I didn’t know I had ever seen a horse like Uncle Mo. start so quickly (with stag males).”
Paradise at Spring Village is currently the Caribbean nation’s premier thoroughbred horse, Bern’s identity , their children have dominated the Jamaican classics. His daughter, She is a Wonderwon the Jamaica One Thousand Guineas and Jamaica Oaks in 2021 and finished third ahead of the men in Jamaica St. Leger on her way to being named champion of the year for the fat and champion 3-year-old female sprinter. Blue vinyl nearly wiped out the Jamaican classics last year with wins at Jamaica St. Leger and Jamaica Two Thousand Guineas, followed by a third in the Jamaica Derby. Bern Identity was also represented in last year’s Two Thousand Guineas and Jamaica Derby by the runner-up precipice, who is honored in 2021 as a 2-year-old foal champion. All of these races are not considered black bets by international standards as Jamaica is classified as a Part III country, but they are all internally ranked as group 1 races.
So far, Bern Identity has picked 8% of its bet winners from racing-age named ponies. According to Schumer, it is understandable that he has become a force in the breeding market in Jamaica, having hit a record 80 mares by 2022.
“I buy stalls for regional markets, like Turkey or Saudi Arabia, or sub-regional markets, like Libya and Iran. In places like Libya or Iran, if a stallion gets it 20-40 mares it’s a full book for them. When I was told Bern Identity included 80, I was amazed,” he said. “So we’ve been looking for a replacement for Bern Identity for a while now. Because they’re currently having to move mares to Bern Identity, I think some of those mares will move on. Mo Mosa.”
Schumer said Paradise Ranch adopts a “Claiborne-like” breeding method, by limiting its own book size to avoid overbreeding a stallion.
Mo Mosa would be a great fit for Jamaica as he has been successful on the dirt track in the 3rd and 4th ranked games. In 3rd place, he broke his daughter 5 3/4 length at 3rd place. Race Park and went on to finish second in the Oklahoma Derby (G3). At the age of 4, he won the Steve Sexton Mile Stakes (G3) at Lonely Star Park equal to 3 1/2 the length of many 1st, 2nd place winners Missile CZ . He retired with a 4-4-3 record in 22 starts and earned $482,235 for owners/breeders Perry and Denise Martin.

Mo Mosa’s family also exhibits the same flexibility as that of Bern Identity. His dam Roughing is a stake winner playerwho is the dam of the winner of Hollywood Starlet Stakes (G1) Diplomatic Lady and winner Comely Stakes (G2) Dream of playing . This family has also produced Sires Produce Stakes (G2) winner and Champagne Stakes (G1) runner-up of Australia. Land of Zulu (Australia) and winner of the United Nations (G1T) Hunter O’Riley who won two shares classified on the pitch at a speed of 1 3/8 mile.
Uncle Mo, despite being a 2 year old male champion and a 3rd dirt road 1st place winner, has also shown versatility as a stallion with 65 black category winners on the road land and 30 bet winners on grass.
“I don’t know if it’s because the North American mares population is already oversaturated with Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector and because Uncle Mo is in a different lineage and a 2-year-old champion is contributing to what he does. achieved. That’s all there is to debate. But you can’t argue with his success,” Schumer said.
