Alfred and Joseph Nastasi of Saratoga Springs, bred Co-Champion Three-Year-Old Filly of 1997, Biogio's Rose ($797,959). Although a NYTB champion at three, Biogio's Rose actually had her best season as a six-year-old in 2000 when her stakes victories included tallies in Aqueduct's Grade 3 Rare Treat and Next Move Handicaps -- both at a two-turn mile and an eighth and the former in stakes record time. Her dam is winner Fois Gras, a Barachois mare whose winning New York-bred offspring also include multiple stakes-placed Biogio's Baby ($177,339) and Citizenship. The Nastasi brothers, both graduates of Saint John's University, and partners in an investment research company, purchased Fois Gras privately from retired trainer Kay Jensen for $15,000 -- paid in $5,000 installments over three years. The mare's offspring have earned more than $1.4-million.
