Ai Magic

Pedigree Overview

Ai Magic is a bay filly foaled February 24, 2024, by Good Magic out of the Malibu Moon mare Prospector's Moon. Her pedigree combines the Curlin branch of the Mr. Prospector sire line with a female family carrying A.P. Indy, Seeking the Gold, Fit to Fight, and Buckpasser. The mating brings together established dirt performance, juvenile ability, and proven form at middle distances. She was bred in Kentucky and is nominated to the Breeders' Cup.

Good Magic contributes championship-level juvenile form and classic-distance performance. Prospector's Moon supplies a direct connection to Malibu Moon and has already produced a stakes winner and a graded-stakes-placed juvenile. The pedigree is supported by an A+++ Werk Nick Rating and a 20/20 Goldmine match, providing statistical context for the sire-line and broodmare-sire combination.

Sire Line Analysis

Good Magic was the champion two-year-old colt of his crop after winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at 1 1/16 miles and finishing second in the Champagne Stakes. At three, he won the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational and Grade 2 Blue Grass Stakes, finished second in the Kentucky Derby, and placed in the Fountain of Youth Stakes. His nine-start career produced three graded-stakes victories, three seconds, one third, and earnings of $2,945,000.

He is by Curlin, a two-time Horse of the Year whose major victories included the Preakness Stakes, Breeders' Cup Classic, Dubai World Cup, Stephen Foster Handicap, Woodward Stakes, and two editions of the Jockey Club Gold Cup. Curlin's stallion record includes champions and Grade 1 winners such as Cody's Wish, Vino Rosso, Idiomatic, Malathaat, Elite Power, Stellar Wind, Nest, and Curlin's Voyage. His progeny have succeeded from sprint distances through the American classics and major dirt routes.

Good Magic's dam, stakes winner Glinda the Good, is by Hard Spun. Hard Spun adds another source of juvenile and classic-level dirt performance through the Danzig line. Glinda the Good won four races at two and three, including the Instant Racing Stakes and Island Fashion Stakes, and placed in the Sunland Park Oaks and Blue Hen Stakes. Her pedigree also brings Miswaki and repeated Mr. Prospector influence into Good Magic's maternal family.

Good Magic has established his own record through Kentucky Derby winner Mage, Belmont Stakes and Haskell winner Dornoch, Pacific Classic winner Mixto, Arkansas Derby winner Muth, and Champagne Stakes winner Blazing Sevens. His early crops also include graded winners Dubyuhnell, Vegas Magic, Reincarnate, Society Man, Curly Jack, One Magic Philly, and Magic Cross. Through November 2025, his first four Northern Hemisphere crops had produced 188 winners and 21 black-type winners from 278 starters, with an average winning distance of 7.23 furlongs.

This sire line gives Ai Magic a foundation of two-year-old quality, tactical speed, and proven ability around two turns. Good Magic's leading runners have performed from major juvenile races through nine- and ten-furlong Grade 1 events, reflecting the balance of Curlin's scope and Good Magic's own early maturity.

Female Family Analysis

Prospector's Moon, by Malibu Moon, was a winner at four and has produced three winners from four starters listed in the catalog. Her leading runner is Oscar Eclipse, a three-time winner of $243,681 whose victories include the Sir Shackleton Stakes. She is also the dam of Malibu Curl, a winner at two who placed third in the Grade 2 Demoiselle Stakes, and Donegal Moonshine, a two-time winner.

Malibu Curl has particular relevance to Ai Magic's pedigree. She is by Curlin out of Prospector's Moon, making her a three-quarter relation to Ai Magic through the same dam and the sire of Good Magic. Her graded-stakes placing at two provides a direct example of juvenile black-type performance from this female family when combined with the Curlin line.

Prospector's Moon is by Malibu Moon, a son of A.P. Indy. This introduces Seattle Slew and Secretariat through Weekend Surprise and places a major American classic influence close to the dam's side of the pedigree. Malibu Moon has also worked effectively within the broader Curlin sire-line pattern, which forms the basis of the Werk rating assigned to Ai Magic's mating.

The second dam, Gold Rush Queen, is by Seeking the Gold, another major son of Mr. Prospector. Gold Rush Queen produced Ender's Sister, winner of five races and $525,048, including the Florida Oaks and Three Ring Stakes. Ender's Sister became the dam of Grade 1 Forego Stakes winner A. P. Indian, who earned $1,477,434, Grade 2 Indiana Derby winner Tiz Shea D, and graded-stakes-placed earner Its All Relevant.

Gold Rush Queen also produced Ender's Shadow, an eight-time winner of $291,612 who won the Tokyo City Handicap and twice finished second in the Grade 2 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap. Another daughter, On a Roll, produced Grade 3 winner Doctor Mounty and stakes winner Dabster. Dabster, like Ai Magic, is from the Curlin sire line, giving the broader family another successful example of this genetic combination.

Additional family depth comes through Arradoul, the dam of listed winner Panadol and stakes performers Backwood Bay and PermanentVacation. The wider family also includes champion Celandine and graded performers Valletta, J. S. Choice, Enders Cat, and High Crime. This record gives Ai Magic a female family containing sprint, route, dirt, and turf stakes performance across multiple generations.

Linebreeding and Genetic Structure

Ai Magic is linebred to Mr. Prospector through four appearances within five generations. The Werk report identifies the pattern as 4m, 5m x 4f, 4m. On the sire's side, Mr. Prospector appears through Smart Strike, the sire of Curlin, and through Miswaki in Good Magic's female family. On the dam's side, he appears through Macoumba, the dam of Malibu Moon, and through Seeking the Gold, the sire of Gold Rush Queen.

The Goldmine pedigree chart illustrates the same pattern, with Mr. Prospector repeated through separate branches in both halves of the pedigree. This structure combines the Smart Strike and Seeking the Gold branches with additional reinforcement through Miswaki and Macoumba. A.P. Indy, Hard Spun, Deputy Minister, Danzig, Buckpasser, and Fit to Fight provide further genetic diversity around that concentration.

Ai Magic's Roman Dosage Profile is 4-5-17-0-0, with 26 dosage points, a Dosage Index of 2.06, and a Center of Distribution of 0.50. The Classic category represents the largest part of the profile. These figures align with a pedigree containing juvenile speed through Good Magic and Seeking the Gold, together with route support from Curlin, A.P. Indy, Malibu Moon, and Hard Spun.

Nick Ratings / Statistical Evaluation

The Good Magic and Prospector's Moon mating received an A+++ Werk Nick Rating, designated Triple Plus, based on the Curlin and Malibu Moon cross. The report also assigns a Werk Quality Rating of Q7, eight quality points, and 34 total points.

Goldmine classifies the mating as a 20/20 match. Its comparative list includes Grade 1 winners Stellar Wind, Malathaat, Nest, Elite Power, Raging Sea, Clairiere, Dornoch, Mage, Cody's Wish, Idiomatic, Vino Rosso, Journalism, and Exaggerator among runners carrying elements of the same broader pedigree pattern. The aptitude chart shows its principal concentration from approximately one mile through middle distances, with representation at two, three, and in open competition.

Commercial Implications

Ai Magic's pedigree is built around a champion juvenile sire, an established classic-producing male line, and a dam who has produced both a stakes winner and a graded-stakes-placed two-year-old. Good Magic's early stud record includes two American classic winners and multiple Grade 1 performers, while the female family supplies black-type depth through Oscar Eclipse, Malibu Curl, Ender's Sister, A. P. Indian, Tiz Shea D, Doctor Mounty, and Dabster.

For a stable racehorse profile, Ai Magic presents a pedigree with clear connections to juvenile performance and dirt-route racing. Purchased for $150,000 at the 2025 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, she carries a three-quarter relationship to Grade 2-placed Malibu Curl that gives the mating a direct family precedent, while the A+++ nick rating, 20/20 Goldmine match, and Classic-weighted dosage profile provide additional support for the pedigree's structure.
