Outwork, an 11-year-old son of Uncle Mo out of grade 1-placed winner Nonna Mia, has been sold and will continue his stud career in Saudi Arabia through a deal brokered by Chad Schumer and confirmed by WinStar Farm, where he stood.
A winner of the 2016 Wood Memorial (G1), Outwork won three of five starts and banked more than $700,000 before he entered stud at WinStar Farm in 2017. He became a top five North American freshman sire in 2020 when his top runners included eventual millionaire Outadore, who won the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Turf Sprint and went on to run third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) at Keeneland.
Outwork also sired grade 1 winners Leave No Trace, who won the 2022 Spinaway Stakes (G1) and was runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), and Brightwork, who won the Spinaway in 2023 along with two other graded stakes.
Out of five crops of racing age, Outwork sired 209 winners to date that include 13 black-type winners and another 17 that placed in black-type stakes.
Repole Stable raced Outwork as a homebred, having also raced his dam Nonna Mia (Empire Maker). The mare also produced Nonna Bella, who is the dam of Fierceness, the 2023 champion 2-year-old colt, multiple grade 1 winner, and contender in this year's Breeders' Cup Classic (G1). Nonna Bella is also the dam of Fierceness' full brother and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (G1T) contender Mentee.
