Believe the Hype is smart-looking, athletic colt by the outstanding Hill ‘N’ Dale Stallion, ARMY MULE. Army Mule was an undefeated Grade I winner on the track who won every race he was entered in by at least 6 lengths, including the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct by 6.5 lengths.

This colt worked very nicely at the recently concluded 2026 OBS March Two Year Old in Training sale, going an 1/8th in 10 flat. He galloped out the 1/4 mile in 20.4 seconds and the 3 furlongs in 33.2 seconds, showing off a nice stride and athleticism in his movement. He looks to have some good speed and the ability to carry that speed out to two turns. A nice two-turn dirt horse prospect bredon an “A” nick!
