Is anyone planning on retiring any of their boys to stud for 2020?
Cricket Hill will stand ICh. Starling (Rahy x WCh. Highland Raven). He’s 1/2 to retired stallion Slew O’Scots and we’re hoping he can fill his brother’s shoes.
We will be standing our current batch of Stallions again next year (fees in brackets):-
N.Ch. AndLikeThatHesGone (his first foals will race in 2021) - by Major’s Flight out of Risky Venture ($10,000)
N.Ch. Away The Lads (just completed his first year at Stud) - by Slew O’Scots out of Risk Away ($15,000)
I.Ch. First Born Son (his first foals will race in 2021) - by Ring of Fire out of What’s That About ($20,000)
FF.Ch. Foolhardy (Platinum) - by What’s It Worth out of Foolish Question ($100,000)
N.Ch. Hogsmeade (just completed his first year at Stud) - by Highland Magic out of Blarneystone Lane ($15,000)
N.Ch. Hogwarts (just completed his first year at Stud) - by Magic Glory out of Blarneystone Lane ($15,000)
N.Ch. In The Navy (his first foals will race in 2020) - by Man O’War out of Dayatthebeach ($15,000)
N.Ch. Last For More (just completed his first year at Stud) - by Lasting Spirit out of Back For More ($15,000)
N.Ch. Lucky Streak (his first foals will race in 2020) - by Rahy out of Wild Streak ($15,000)
G.Ch. Superdocious (just completed his first year at Stud) - by Worth the Wait out of Whistlin’ Dixie ($10,000)
G.Ch. Tottenham Hotspur (Silver) - by Redwood Prince out of Sunset Beauty ($15,000)
N.Ch. Worthy Victor (his first foals will race in 2021) - by Worth My While out of Decisive Victory ($15,000)
In addition to these, we will have three news ones joining their ranks:-
N.Ch. Calle d’Oro - by Golden Text out of Back Streets
G.Ch. Holy Warrior - by Black Warrior out of In Thy Name
G.Ch. Too Stressful - by Stressed out of Fan into Flame
Of the above, G.Ch. Too Stressful & N.Ch. AndLikeThatHesGone will both be available for Sale or Lease, effective January 1st. They will both be listed either for Sale at $400,000 or for Lease at $100,000 from Jan 1st through Aug 31st (the end of Breeding Season).
Send me a PM if you are interested in either of them.
Updated on Dec 1st:- N.Ch. AndLikeThatHesGone has been sold and G.Ch. Too Stressful is earmarked to be sold to Gant’s Farm after his next race on Dec 19th. As a result, they are no longer available for sale.
I will have my current 4 boys (Bellagio, Ducati, Sleipnir, and V is for Victory).
In addition, I currently plan to retire (due to a drop in performance):
NCh. Exit Poll (Irish River {G} x Family Gold {P}) - steeplechase extraordinaire, was never tried on the flat
NCh. Fight The Twilight (Nightfight {G} x Twilight Embers {P}) - did best at classic distances on both dirt and turf
I plan on retiring the following boys:
[color=blue]NCh. Run Jenny Run [ICh. What’s Your Point (G) x Jet Set Jenny (G)]
A turf champion with 12 stakes wins under his belt including 4 G1 wins. 1/2 to GCh. Amada, GCh. Jetplane, and Ch. Jennys Ballad

[color=blue]NCh. Lake Highlands [WCh. Highland Bandit (G) x She’s No Angel (G)]
A dirt monster
http://www.finalfurlong.org/viewhorse.php?horse=13495
Potentially [color=blue]Turnpike Wannabe [ICh. Candidate (G) x Expressway Kiss §]
Loved his turf, 1/2 to GCh. Sheza Sheila, Ch. Burn It Down and Ch. Lady Express

How about real life studs, do you think we’re adding some other than American Pharoah?
Are we adding AP? We already had his grandsire, Empire Maker, and we have a few Storm Cat descendants like Giant’s Causeway.
I thought so, as Shanthi wrote earlier in another topic:
