Miss Disco

[2][3] With her pending retirement from racing, Claiborne Farm owner Bull Hancock advised his client Gladys Phipps to purchase Miss Disco for breeding.

Nasrullah, who went to lead the North American sire list five times, was the son of the great Italian-bred Nearco, who was undefeated in all fourteen starts.

From this match came the very good gelded runner True North, whose wins for owner Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney included the rich 1971 Widener Handicap.

The resulting foal was a colt named Independence, who had success in steeplechase racing, including a win in the prestigious American Grand National.

Bred again to Nasrullah, Miss Disco produced a 1953 filly named Explorer who won six minor races from nineteen starts.

Her daughter Foolish One (1957) produced Funny Fellow (1965), a good stayer noted for having only one eye that won multiple top-level races including the Lawrence Realization Stakes and the Roamer, Gallant Fox, and Donn Handicaps.
