TUTTIPAESI was bred by Eithne Hamilton who has had a long association with the family. The now five-year-old daughter of Clodovil is out of the unraced Acatenango mare Ruby Ridge who was bred by Gainsborough Stud Management but acquired at a later stage by Eithne. The attraction was obvious as Eithne had purchased Ruby Ridge’s dam Desert Frolic and with her bred a number of good horses, notably Dubai Prince, Jakarta Jade and Cadre.

Tuttipaesi is now trained by Bill Mott, the Hall of Fame trainer most famously associated with Cigar. On Saturday he sent her to run in the inaugural $75,000 Suffolk Downs Distaff Turf Stakes and she brought her win total to five with an easy three and a quarter length victory, raising her earnings to more than $300,000.
