2025 Black Storm West Lineup

SPECIAL DISCOUNT: All platinum-ranked mares get free breedings, and gold-ranked mares receive 50% off the stud fee. Please let me know at time of post.

GCh. FIVEL
2019 Black Stallion, 16.1hh - Foolhardy x Black Star (Nightfight)

Dirt sprint specialist. Victories include G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen, G1 Champagne Stakes, G1 The Galaxy, G2 Bashford Manor Stakes, G2 Yallambee Classic, G3 Swale Stakes, G3 Bold Ruler Stakes, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $10,000 LFG

The combination of two great horses.
Though there are several Foolhardy and Nightfight sons at stud, Fivel is currently the only standing stallion to combine both lines. Fivel’s dam is half to Platinum-ranked Morning Magic and Gold-ranked Rahy’s Star.

COMPLETELY BOOKED


GCH. HONEYDUKES
2019 Chestnut Stallion, 15.3hh - Witness x Midnight Return (Magic Cross)

Stakes winner on all surfaces at medium to long distances. Victories include G1 Rosehill Guineas, G2 Hotham Handicap, G3 Palm Beach Stakes, G3 Doncaster Cup, G3 Holcolmbe Stakes, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $5,000 LFG

Only Witness son at stud.
Want variety? Honeydukes is a SW on dirt, turf, and over jumps with an emphasis on classic to long distances. He was accidentally switched to SC at 5, but thankfully that did not slow him down. Honeydukes is half to 100% winners, including MSW Ch. Owl Hunt and MSP Ch. Rosette.

COMPLETELY BOOKED


GCH. LOCAL HAUNT
2019 Dark Bay Stallion, 15.1hh - Mr. Townsend x Poltergeist (My Lucky Day)

Classic dirt runner. 2022 3yo Colt Champion, 2022 Classic Horse Champion. Victories include G1 Breeders’ Cup Classic, G1 Pegasus World Cup, G1 Dubai World Cup, G1 Kentucky Derby, G1 Australia Derby, G1 Florida Derby, G1 Stephen Foster Stakes, G2 Queensland Stakes, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $10,000 LFG

Only Mr. Townsend son to enter stud.
With very untraditional lines, Local Haunt is an excellent outcross choice for a multitude of mares: no Highlands, Fools, or Debatables anywhere in his pedigree. Mr. Townsend is currently ranked silver as a broodmare sire, and was half to Ashleigh’s Wonder (dam of ICh. Prince of Wonder). Local Haunt is half to MSW GCh. Dior. Many outcross possibilities in this classic dirt champion! He might need some leggy ladies, however.

NCH. NOBLY REGAL
2011 Bay Stallion, 16.0hh - Danzig x Delightful Natalie (create)
Short to medium distances, turf/dirt. Victories include G1 Australian Cup, G1 Canterbury Guineas, G1 George Ryder Stakes, G2 Saratoga Special, G2 Royal Sovereign Stakes, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $10,000 LFG

Only son of Danzig at stud.
Sire of MSW’s Ch. Always Regal, Ch. Cersei, Ch. Regal Prince, Ch. Falsehood, Ch. Professor Plum, Ch. Investiture, and Ch. Jet Haze. More than 50% winners.

AVAILABLE SLOTS
Aug 2b -


NCH. STRATICUS
2014 Chestnut Stallion, 15.3hh - Simply Heroic x Hashin Out A Song (create)

Multiple stakes winner on turf, but won 2 of 3 lifetime dirt starts. Victories include G1 Audemars Piguet Queen Elizabeth II Cup, G2 Hill Stakes, G2 Warwick Stakes, G3 Hill Prince Stakes, G3 Bunbury Cup, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $5,000 LFG

Only son of Simply Heroic at stud.
First crop debuted in 2024 and includes SW’s Castle Age and Memorial Castle (G1 Preakness S). Straticus excelled at age 3+, so his progeny will likely do better with age.

GCH. VENTURE HIS DUE
2014 Dark Bay Stallion, 16.0hh - Devil His Due x Risky Venture (create)

Stakes winner at all distances, but preference for classic to long dirt. Victories include G1 Australian Derby, G1 Canterbury Guineas, G1 Joe Aitcheson, G2 Sparkford Chase, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $5,000 LFG

2018 Dark Grey Stallion, 14.3hh - Changeling x Dark Twilight (Highland Magic)
Steeplechaser at medium to long distance. Victories include G1 Breeders’ Cup SC Classic, G1 Morningstar Stakes, G2 Highland Rogue Breeders’ Stakes, G3 Gotham Stakes, G3 Vigil Stakes, and more.
BC Nominated | Fee: $10,000 LFG

Only Changeling son at stud.
Looking for some leggy ladies! Half to a dirt MSP runner, so might be worth trying a variety of horses. Changeling was a MSW on dirt and turf and never attempted SC. Dark Ages’ great-granddam, Evening Flame, produced the mothers of stallions Highland Burning and Fight the Twilight.

I am very excited to announce Local Haunt is officially retired and available for stud. :slight_smile:

Hi Shelbie.

Do you plan to nominate him for the BC and does he have any openings for an April 1 slot, mare to be decided on later?

There appears to be a bug because the site won’t let me nominate him. It says he’s nominated on the BC Stallions Nominations page, but not on his personal page. I will post the bug and hopefully Shanthi can fix it. If she can, yes he will be nominated.

I will book the April 1 slot for you.

Just an FYI - Mother Teresa is on her way to your farm for a date with Local Haunt. She should arrive tomorrow.

Thanks.

Lewis

I can’t breed Mother Teresa to Local Haunt as it says that he already has 3 mares booked to him (I assume outside mares). Can you please put her in the slot you have reserved for our Stable.

Thanks.
