DEFY LOGIC, bay, 2000, by Saint Ballado--Clever Monique, by Clever Trick.
.

Defy.Logic.is out of the Clever Trick mare Clever Monique, dam of Grade 1 winner Yes It's True ($1,080,700) and stakes winner Honest Deceiver and granddam of graded stakes-placed Blushing Indian. Yes It's True has burst brilliantly onto the American sire scene, moving to the top of the freshman sire standings when his first foals reached the races in 2004. It's a powerful female family with numerous stakes winners of quality, including champion Kiss a Native ($1,109,021).

Defy.Logic.is a son of the ill-fated Saint Ballado, a son of Halo whose brilliant sire career was cut short by death in 2002 at the age of 13. In his last year at stud he stood for a fee of $125,000 as the sire of Grade 1 winners Captain Bodgit ($1,014,849), Yankee Victor ($833,806), and Sister Act ($579,394) and 24 other stakes winners. After his death, they were joined by another Grade 1 winner, Ashado ($1,680,440), and another 21 other stakes winners.

Defy.Logic.boasts superb conformation, as evidenced by his yearling sale price of $1,550,000.

Defy.Logic.retired to the stud with earnings of $115,170 in 18 starts over three seasons. He stands at a fee of $3,500 at E. A. Ranches, Santa Ysabel.
