Kazoo, a 10-time winner of $637,000 who posted his biggest score in the
Grade 3 $107,400 Toboggan Handicap, has been retired to stand stud this year at
Bogart Stables in Houston, Ohio, for a private stud fee. The deal was
completed with the help of agent Kathleen Sentkowski, Freestate Bloodstock in
Maryland.
He's a graded stakes winner out of a mare who won multiple stakes and produced multiple stakes horses.
Kazoo, a 10-year-old son of Tabasco Cat - Vennila Cream, by Valid Appeal, raced from ages 2 through 9, won at 2, scored his biggest victory at 8, and showed soundness not common in rapid sprinters. He retired from racing with a record of 10-9-10 from 51 starts.
Kazoo showcased rapid early speed throughout his career and clearly performed best at six furlongs, as he demonstrated emphatically when a four-length winner of Aqueduct's Toboggan in 2006. He led every step of the way, completed six furlongs in 1:09.22, and earned a lifetime-best 107 Beyer Speed Figure. Bishop Court Hill, winner of the Grade Carter Handicap and more that $685,000 in purses, chased throughout and could only manage second.
Among Kazoo's laurels is a second-place finish in Keeneland's Grade 2, $443,200 Commonwealth Breeders' Cup Stakes in 2006, when he led into the stretch trying to carry his speed seven furlongs and held off all but Sun King who rallied past late in a strong field of 12 runners. Sun King retired a multiple graded stakes winner of more than $2.2 million and in 2008 stands stud for $10,000. Kazoo did win at seven furlongs in just his second lifetime start, and also accounted for a victory in a $75,000 stakes at Fair Grounds, and finished on the board in several other stakes races including a second-place finish in Monmouth Park's Teddy Drone in 2006.
Kazoo's family tree is solid. Tabasco Cat won eight races, including the Grade 1 Preakness and Belmont Stakes, and finished beaten just a neck in second in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic in 1994. He earned more than $2.3 million in purses.
Vennila Cream was a multiple stakes winner (31-9-5-4, $233,330) and kin to the stakes class Reappeal ($273K) and Red Journey ($251K). As a broodmare, she has produced four winners in addition to Kazoo, including Carefree (11 wins, $229K) and Daddy Joe (five wins, stakes placed,$214K earned). Richard Dutrow Jr. trained Kazoo for IEAH Stables.
