WinStar Farm’s grade 1 winner and North American record-setter Cogburn saw his first reported foal Jan. 4, when a filly out of the Oasis Dream mare Posset was born at Goodwin Farm near Paris, Ky.
The filly, whose dam is a full sister to Juddmonte’s multiple group 1 winner Midday—an earner of more than $3.4 million and winner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf (G1T)—was bred by Jay Goodwin, David Rogers, and Brooke Buffkin.
“This is a really good filly,” Goodwin said. “She bounced right up and was whipping around the paddock in no time. We love fast horses.”
A fleet-footed son of the red-hot stallion Not This Time , Cogburn was the fastest grade 1-winning sprinter in the world in 2024. He was an electrifying winner of the Jaipur Stakes (G1T) at Saratoga Race Course, where he set a North American record for 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf. Completing the distance in a head-turning final time of :59.80, Cogburn easily eclipsed the previous record of 1:00.21 set in 2019, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 114.
Cogburn also was an authoritative winner of the $2 million Turf Sprint Stakes (G2T) at Kentucky Downs in his next start, where he covered six furlongs on turf in 1:07.68, just missing another course record.
All told, Cogburn finished first or second in 11 of 16 lifetime starts and banked $2,422,630 racing for Clark Brewster, William and Corinne Heiligbrodt, and trainer Steve Asmussen. Cogburn is produced from the stakes-winning Saintly Look mare In a Jif. He bred 194 mares in his initial season at stud last year.
Cogburn will stand the 2026 season at Winstar Farm, near Versailles, Ky., for an advertised fee of $25,000, stands and nurses.
