Reza turned heads as he broke his maiden by 8 lengths with a last-to-first rally in his debut Sept. 19 at Gulfstream Park, becoming the first winner for Colebrook Farms Stallion Station's Tale of Silence .
Last of five early in the 5-furlong race over Gulfstream's all-weather Tapeta track, Reza was angled off the inside into the clear on the turn by jockey Leonel Reyes and quickly surged past rivals. He caught favored Coralline in the stretch and powered away from her over the final furlong. He was timed in :56.75 for the distance following splits of :21.39 and :44.66 set by Coralline.
Reza, bred by Charles Fipke in Kentucky, is a 2-year-old gelding out of the grade 1-placed Orb mare Pleasant Orb. Her only other foal to race is also a winner.
Reza was a $120,000 RNA during the Ocala Breeders' Sales' Spring 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale this April. He was purchased for $22,000 by Mubarak Alotaibi at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale in 2025.
Tareq Moubarak trains him for Mohamed Moubarak's MM Bloodstock.
Fipke also bred and raced 2018 Westchester Stakes (G3) winner Tale of Silence, who initially stood at Darby Dan Farm in Central Kentucky before being transferred earlier this year to John Burness' Colebrook Farms Stallion Station in Canada. He stood this past breeding season for a CA$2,500 fee.
Freshman sire Tale of Silence, a 12-year-old son of Tale of the Cat, is a full brother to multiple grade 1 winner and sire Tale of Ekati.
