Twin Oscar Performance Fillies A Monday Surprise For Surfside Stables

8-year-old mare Kona Kai (Palace Malice) delivered surprise twin fillies by Oscar Performance Monday for Surfside Stables.
“They're doing well and getting stronger every day,” said breeder Debbie Appel.
Kona Kai and her fillies are currently at Rood & Riddle in Kentucky where they will stay under observation for the near future.
The mare was purchased as a yearling at Keeneland September by Surfside for $70,000 in 2018 and broke her maiden at Horseshoe Indianapolis in 2020, retiring after 11 starts with earnings of over $68,000. Kona Kai, a half-sister to stakes winner Party At Page's (Gemologist) and out of a half to the dam of G1SW Jungle Cat (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) and MGSP Texas Wildcatter (Monarchos), produced a full-sister to the twins last year.
On Monday, Kona Kai unexpectedly gave birth to twin fillies. Sire is OSCAR PERFORMANCE. All 3 are healthy and well. Our deepest thanks to Lori Hendrickson and team and Dr. Barr and everyone at @roodandriddle. This is the rarest of events. A small miracle. @millridgefarmpic.twitter.com/5euWtlYfqJ
