About
Thousandsticks is a 3‑year‑old gelding bred in the United States and trained by Brian Lynch. He is by the stallion Twirling Candy out of the mare Lottie. To date he has captured three victories. On 1 February 2026 at Gulfstream, he earned his biggest triumph, winning the $175,000 Kitten’s Joy Stakes. The horse has been a money‑maker for bettors; a lifelong backer would see about a 49 % return on investment.
