Wine Scholar’s mother, Dragon Fly, was a gray/roan mare of the Sadler's Wells/Cure The Blues line and a seven-time race starter.
Smart Strike was sired by the black-type winner Mr. Prospector and the Ontario bay mare Classy ‘n Smart, while Dragon Fly was sired by the G1 winner Sadler’s Wells and the French grey mare Luna Blue. Unfortunately, Wine Scholar received an injury and was retired from racing in 2015.
