Last Move is a homebred Pennsylvania-bred filly from the first crop of Preakness winner Early Voting, out of the HnR homebred mare Move — making her a maternal half-sister to Classic Nofty. She placed on debut at Presque Isle Downs, closing from last of six for third over 4½ furlongs, then stretched all the way to a mile on the Colonial turf just 25 days later. Two starts into her career, she is a developing juvenile closer whose pedigree points to dirt as the surface she has yet to try.

Last Move is a bay filly foaled March 31, 2024, in Pennsylvania. Bred by HnR Nothhaft Horseracing LLC, she is by Preakness Stakes winner Early Voting out of the Silver Train mare Move. She has made two starts at two and earned a placing on debut, finishing third in a 4½-furlong maiden special weight over the Presque Isle Downs all-weather surface. She subsequently contested a one-mile turf maiden at Colonial Downs.
Her pedigree combines the emerging Gun Runner sire line with a female family carrying A.P. Indy, Lemon Drop Kid, Seattle Slew, Kingmambo, and Northern Dancer. Early Voting contributes classic dirt performance and a strong concentration of Candy Ride, Giant's Causeway, Tiznow, and Storm Cat. Move supplies the speed of Silver Train with additional route influence through Old Trieste and Lemon Drop Kid.
Last Move is a maternal half-sister to Classic Nofty, a Pennsylvania-bred winner at two by Classic Empire. Their dam, Move, won twice and placed nine additional times from 20 starts, earning $99,065 while racing for HnR Nothhaft interests.
Early Voting is by Gun Runner out of Amour d'Ete, by Tiznow. He won three of six starts and earned $1,372,500. Successful in his only start at two, he returned at three to win the Grade 3 Withers Stakes and Grade 1 Preakness Stakes. In the Preakness, he defeated champion three-year-old Epicenter and completed the 1 3/16 miles in 1:54.54.
His race record provides Last Move with a direct source of juvenile ability and classic dirt performance. Early Voting won on debut at two, captured a two-turn graded stakes in his first start at three, and then established his highest level of form over a classic distance.
Gun Runner, the sire of Early Voting, is by Candy Ride out of Quiet Giant, by Giant's Causeway. The line combines Candy Ride's speed and dirt aptitude with Storm Cat through Giant's Causeway. Early Voting's dam adds Tiznow, Relaunch, and another appearance of Storm Cat through Silken Cat.
Amour d'Ete is also closely connected to champion sprinter and influential sire Speightstown. That relationship gives Early Voting's female family an additional source of speed alongside the route and classic influences of Gun Runner and Tiznow.
Early Voting's first juveniles began racing in 2026. The available sire statistics list 12 starters and five winners from 116 foals of racing age, with an AEI of 1.47. His initial winners include He Is No Lie, Early Encore, Balloteer, Sensitiva, and Valkyrie. Three of his first four winners received TDN Rising Star recognition, while He Is No Lie also finished second in the Bashford Manor Stakes.
Last Move belongs to Early Voting's first crop, placing her among the earliest runners available to define his emerging sire profile. Her debut placing gives the sire line another juvenile performer from its initial group of starters.
Move is by Silver Train out of Be Envied, by Lemon Drop Kid. She won maiden special weight and allowance races and competed from two through four. Her record of 20 starts, two wins, five seconds, and four thirds provides the immediate female line with a sustained racing foundation.
Silver Train was a Grade 1-winning sprinter by Old Trieste. Old Trieste was a son of A.P. Indy, placing Seattle Slew and Weekend Surprise close to the front of Last Move's female family. This branch combines the speed associated with Silver Train with the classic dirt influence of A.P. Indy.
Silver Train's dam, Ridden in Thestars, is by Cormorant. Her pedigree adds His Majesty and Far North, providing further North American dirt influences behind the immediate broodmare-sire line.
Move's dam, Be Envied, is by Lemon Drop Kid, a Belmont Stakes-winning son of Kingmambo. Lemon Drop Kid introduces Mr. Prospector and Miesque through Kingmambo, while his dam, Charming Lassie, brings a second appearance of Seattle Slew into Last Move's dam line.
The next dam, While Rome Burns, is by Overskate out of Fiddlesticks, by Northern Dancer. Overskate contributes Nodouble, while Fiddlesticks supplies another established source of speed and class through Northern Dancer.
The immediate production record is supported by Classic Nofty, Move's 2023 gelding by Classic Empire. A winner at two, he represents a different sire-line combination over the same mare while confirming that Move has produced juvenile racing ability.
Last Move is linebred to Storm Cat at 4 x 5 within the sire half of her pedigree. One occurrence comes through Giant's Causeway, the sire of Quiet Giant, while the other comes through Silken Cat, the dam of Amour d'Ete. This concentrates Storm Cat through distinct male and female channels behind Early Voting.
Seattle Slew appears 5 x 5 within the dam's half. One occurrence comes through A.P. Indy, the sire of Old Trieste, and the second through Charming Lassie, the dam of Lemon Drop Kid. The duplication reinforces Seattle Slew while using separate descendants in the broodmare line.
The wider structure joins Candy Ride and Gun Runner with A.P. Indy and Lemon Drop Kid. Giant's Causeway, Tiznow, Quiet American, Kingmambo, and Northern Dancer add further balance between speed and route influences.
Equineline reports a Dosage Profile of 6-3-12-1-0, with 22 dosage points, a Dosage Index of 2.14, and a Center of Distribution of +0.64. The largest concentration falls in the Classic category, supported by Brilliant and Intermediate influences. This places the pedigree within a balanced speed and stamina range.
The TrueNicks pedigree statistics record an inbreeding coefficient of 2.04 percent, a coefficient of relatedness of 2.71 percent, and 933 unique ancestors within 2,046 pedigree positions through ten generations.
The Early Voting and Move mating received an A+ TrueNicks rating with a variant of 5.18. The rating is based on Gun Runner and his sons crossed with mares from the A.P. Indy sire line. The analysis includes 150 starters, 108 winners, and 25 stakes winners from 297 foals of racing age.
The rated cross has been particularly productive on dirt, with 96 winners and 23 stakes winners from 139 dirt starters. Its average winning distance is 7.65 furlongs. Leading runners on the broader pattern include Sierra Leone, Taiba, Society, Locked, Further Ado, Red Route One, Wicked Halo, and Life Talk. These horses represent the wider Gun Runner and A.P. Indy-line pattern rather than the exact Early Voting and Silver Train cross.
The direct Early Voting and Silver Train cross currently consists of one foal of racing age and one starter, Last Move. The limited direct sample means the broader Gun Runner and A.P. Indy statistics provide the more developed basis for evaluating the mating.
Werk also assigns the mating an A+ rating, listed at plus 1,243 percent and based on the Gun Runner and A.P. Indy cross. The report gives the pedigree a Werk Quality Rating of Q4, with two quality points and 16 total points.
Goldmine classifies Early Voting and Move as a 20/20 match. Its aptitude chart places the principal concentration around one mile to nine furlongs in three-year-old and open company, with juvenile representation from sprint distances through a mile.
Last Move is a Pennsylvania-bred homebred raced by HnR Nothhaft Horse Racing LLC. Her profile combines a classic-winning first-crop sire with a proven racemare and an immediate maternal half-brother who won at two.
Her debut placing over 4½ furlongs demonstrates juvenile speed, while her second start at one mile reflects the broader distance range present in the pedigree. Early Voting contributes Preakness-winning class and the Gun Runner line, while Move adds Silver Train, A.P. Indy, Lemon Drop Kid, and Seattle Slew.
For a stable profile, Last Move can be presented as a juvenile filly with experience on both synthetic and turf surfaces. Her pedigree carries a statistical emphasis toward dirt and distances around a mile, supported by the A+ nick ratings and the wider success of Gun Runner-line runners from A.P. Indy-line mares.
