Catalog No. 30: KISSED BY ERIK, mare, for sale on MenhammarOnlineSales on August 16.

Carlotta’s firstborn, Erik the Phantom, has easily surpassed the million mark, and his younger sister, Friendofthephantom, is closing in, even though she hasn’t placed in any of this year’s age-group races. Maharajah, out of a Ready Cash mare, is an exciting prospect; of the seven millionaires, this year’s top three-year-old is Grosbois.

Carlotta, a daughter of Ready Cash, posted a time of 1:13.9 and became a millionaire by winning races at both Vincennes and Enghien for the Levesque family. Her dam, Providence, posted a time of 1:13.2, earned 197,000 euros, and won six races at Vincennes, including the Prix Gratia and the Prix de Chateaubriant. Providence also sired the half-million-euro earner Eldorado (by Orlando Vici). Her dam, Inessa d’Havaroche (by Coktail Jet), was also a fine trotter with over half a million euros in earnings and finished third in the Prix Ozo behind Island Dream at Vincennes.
