AMERICAN PHAROAH LAUNCHES STUD CAREER
Barbara D. Livingston
Triple Crown winner American Pharoah will stand his debut season for $200,000 at Coolmore’s Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky.
By Nicole Russo
American Pharoah’s place in racing’s
pantheon was cemented the early evening
of June 6, 2016, as he rolled through the
stretch at Belmont Park with thousands of
cameras and cell phones thrust skyward
to forever capture the moment.
The Triple Crown winner’s ultimate
legacy to the Thoroughbred breed is,
however, still very much a work in progress.
Two days after concluding his historic
career with an overpowering victory in
the Breeders’ Cup Classic last October,
American Pharoah took the short van ride
from Keeneland to Coolmore’s Ashford
Stud in Versailles, Ky., where he will
begin his stud career this month. Coolmore secured American Pharoah’s stud
rights prior to his Triple Crown sweep,
in a deal announced last May. The deal,
which included performance incentives,
allowed owner-breeder Ahmed Zayat to
retain an undisclosed share in his champion’s breeding rights and to control his
racing career through the Breeders’ Cup.
“We’re extremely lucky to have the
horse,” Coolmore’s M.V. Magnier said of
the stallion deal the day American Pharoah arrived at Ashford. “And in fairness
to [trainer Bob Baffert], from the outset,
a long time ago, he was telling us how
good this horse was and that we should
try and get him. And thankfully, we got
a deal done with the Zayats, and they’re
very good people. He’s just an exceptional
horse, everything about him. Hopefully,
we’ll do half as good a job as Bob has.”
American Pharoah won 9 of 11 career
starts and earned $8,650,300. In addition to the Kentucky Derby, Preakness,
Belmont, and Breeders’ Cup Classic – four
prestigious events he won by a combined
20 lengths – the son of Pioneerof the Nile
won the Haskell Invitational, Arkansas Derby, FrontRunner Stakes, and Del
Mar Futurity for a total of eight Grade 1
triumphs. He was a unanimous selection
as Horse of the Year and champion 3-yearold male at the Eclipse Awards last month
– adding those trophies to the hardware he
already secured as 2014 champion 2-yearold male. In addition, Zayat swept both the
owner and breeder Eclipse Awards, while
Baffert took home the trainer trophy.
“It’s unbelievable,” Magnier said of
American Pharoah’s career. “It’s been [37]
years since the last one, and it’s a massive
thing. It’s a massive thing for everyone to
get a chance to breed to this horse now.”
American Pharoah will stand for a fee
of $200,000 in his debut season, making
him by far the most-expensive new stallion in recent years – and moreover, one
of the more expensive stallions in North
America. He comes into an American
market that has changed dramatically
since a Triple Crown winner last stood
at stud. Affirmed retired to stud in 1980,
and it has been more than a decade since
there was an active Triple Crown winner
in the breeding shed. Secretariat died in
October 1989, Affirmed in January 2001,
and Seattle Slew in May 2002, leaving
the racing world without a living Triple
Crown winner until now.
American Pharoah has passed his
first hurdle by adapting quickly to farm
life and daily turnout, with pensioned
Ashford sire Thunder Gulch – himself a
dual classic winner, champion, and classic
sire – famously “showing him the ropes”
in the paddock next door. As part of his
transition, the young stallion was test-

bred to a few mares in December, picking
up the mechanics of his new career with
flying colors.
“He’s [turned out] first thing in the
morning – actually, I lunge him first before
he’s turned out at 6:30,” stallion manager
Richard Barry said of the horse’s routine.
“We’ve bred him to a couple of mares, and
he’s done that late morning and then early
afternoon, and he’s settled in really well.
Everything is no problem at all. He’s as
laid-back a horse as you’d ever want. He’s
great in the breeding shed.”
The kind and intelligent personality
that helped make American Pharoah –
who was widely shared by the Zayats and
Baffert during his 2015 campaign – a fan
favorite is still very much in evidence to
the new staff working with him.
“Everything about him is very easy,”
Barry said. “I call him bombproof. He’s
absolutely – he’s got an amazing temperament.”
While Ashford’s focus has been on
preparing American Pharoah for his
soon-to-begin stud career, the farm also
has worked to keep the popular horse
accessible to the public, offering tours via
Horse Country Inc., and launching new
social media channels to share photos and
news.
“The interest in American Pharoah
from the general public is over and above
anything we have experienced before,”
Ashford manager Dermot Ryan said. “He
really captured the hearts of the public on
the track last year and that has carried
over to his breeding life which I think is
good for the industry as a whole. Obviously his health and well-being is our
greatest priority, but we are also aware
he has many fans. We have tried to find
the right balance between making him
accessible while also allowing him to be a
horse.”
American Pharoah’s $200,000 stud fee
matches Horse of the Year Ghostzapper
as the highest fee for a first-year stallion
in the past decade; the latter commanded
the same sum when he retired to Adena
Springs in 2006. Just a few years later,
the economic crash of 2008 took its toll
on the Thoroughbred industry, and, with
decreased stallion fees across the board,
the market trended toward proven stock.
Curlin, one of the most accomplished
runners of the modern era, entered stud in
2009 at a fee of $75,000. The highest advertised fee for a first-year stallion of 2015 was
$30,000 for champion Will Take Charge.
With the bloodstock market rebounding, a handful of elite sires have climbed
back to six-figure fees for 2016, with
North America’s list topped by two-time
reigning leading sire Tapit at $300,000 at
Gainesway. American Pharoah debuts
tied with popular commercial sire War
“We’re extremely lucky
to have the horse. ...
Hopefully, we’ll do half
as good a job as Bob
[Baffert] has.”
– M.V. Magnier
Front, standing at Claiborne Farm, with
the second-most-expensive fee at $200,000.
If American Pharoah breeds 152 mares
in his first season – the average book size
for Ashford’s 12 active stallions in 2015,
according to The Jockey Club’s Report of
Mares Bred – it would place his value for
the season at $30.4 million.
Of the two Triple Crown winners to
stand in the 21st century, Affirmed was
last advertised at $30,000 at Jonabell Farm
for his final breeding season in 2000. Seattle Slew, the most accomplished Triple
Crown winner as a stallion, was listed at
$150,000 the same year while standing at
Three Chimneys Farm. With his breeding
career interrupted by spinal surgeries, he
stood for shareholders only in 2001 and
was listed with a private fee in 2002. Dan
Rosenberg, the general manager at Three
Chimneys in Seattle Slew’s final years
there, has said that one of the biggest
changes in the stallion market in ensuing
years is book size.
“I would say that the biggest change
is the number of mares a stallion will
breed,” said Rosenberg, who left his post
at Three Chimneys in 2007 to form Rosenberg Thoroughbred Consulting. “When
Seattle Slew and Affirmed retired to stud,
a normal book of mares was in the area
of 45. Now, 150 mares for a new stallion is
more typical. There was a scarcity value
in the price of a stud fee then, and partly
because of that and partly because of the
economy, stud fees in general were higher
than now.”
Seattle Slew made his mark on the breed
by siring 1992 Horse of the Year A.P. Indy.
The latter has continued his legacy on
the breed by siring multiple champions,
finishing as last year’s leading broodmare
sire, and turning out multiple successful
sons and grandsons at stud, including
Tapit. Seattle Slew also sired dual classic
winner and champion Swale and champions Landaluce, Slew o’ Gold, Capote,
Vindication, and Surfside.
Secretariat, who spent his entire stud
career at Claiborne Farm, never came
close to replicating his own awe-inspiring
accomplishments, but he did sire 1986
Horse of the Year Lady’s Secret and 1988
dual classic winner Risen Star. He was
also a leading broodmare sire, and made
DAILY RACING FORM
Sunday, February 7, 2016

a lasting impact on the breed through
daughters Terlingua, the dam of Storm
Cat, and Weekend Surprise, dam of A.P.
Indy.
War Admiral’s champions were led by
Horse of the Year Busher, who propelled
him to leading sire honors, while Count
Fleet sired a pair of Belmont Stakeswinning Horse of the Year honorees in
consecutive seasons in Counterpoint and
One Count. The only Triple Crown winner
to sire a Triple Crown winner was Gallant
Fox (1930), sire of Omaha (1935). Affirmed,
a solid international sire, was represented
by 1993 Canadian Triple Crown winner
Peteski.
American Pharoah is being given every
chance to achieve the sky-high expectations set before him, as his first book
defines the adage “breed the best to the
best and hope for the best.” Among the
stellar mares lined up in his first book
are Broodmare of the Year and multiple
Grade 1 winner Take Charge Lady, dam of
champion Will Take Charge and Grade 1
winner Take Charge Indy; and her daughter Charming, dam of champion Take
Charge Brandi.
Also expected to be bred to American
Pharoah this season are Grade 2 winner
Ivanavinalot, dam of Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner and Eclipse Award
champion Songbird; Playa Maya, dam of
champion and breakout young sire Uncle
Mo; champion Rags to Riches, winner of
the Belmont Stakes and Kentucky Oaks;
Arch’s Gal Edith, dam of dual classic
winner and champion I’ll Have Another;
Untouched Talent, dam of Grade 1 winner
and dual classic-placed Bodemeister;
Grade 1 winner Awesome Maria, who
hails from an outstanding female family;
and Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint
winner and champion Judy the Beauty.
“He’ll get every opportunity to succeed,”
Ryan said. “The level of support he will
receive is not afforded to many horses.
There are no guarantees, but if his progeny have his temperament and even a
fraction of the ability he had he will be
very successful.”
International
outfits
also
have
expressed an interest in American Pharoah. Canadian champion Conquest Harlanate, purchased for $450,000 by Shimokobe Farm at the Keeneland January
horses of all ages sale, will visit Ashford
to be bred to American Pharoah before
shipping to Japan to foal. Canadian Grade
3 winner Marbre Rose will visit his court
for prominent international breeder and
consignor Ecurie des Monceaux.
“We have had interest in him from all
over the world,” Ryan said. “He is a household name not just in America but all over,
so his influence will reach further than
just these shores. Bob Baffert will tell you
he would have won on turf if he had run on
it so there are many possibilities.”

KENTUCKY’S NEW STALLIONS A TOP-NOTCH GROUP
By Nicole Russo
Even without Triple Crown winner
American Pharoah in the mix, the incoming group of Kentucky stallions for 2016
would have to be considered among the
strongest in recent memory. The remainder
of this year’s class has combined to win two
editions of the Belmont Stakes, the Breeders’ Cup Classic, Breeders’ Cup Mile, Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, Breeders’ Cup Sprint,
and Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint; international classics that include the French 2000
Guineas and Chilean Triple Crown; two
editions each of the Metropolitan Handicap,
Jockey Club Gold Cup, and Donn Handicap;
and other major events including the Whitney Handicap, Woodward Stakes, Cigar
Mile Handicap, and Dubai Golden Shaheen.
“It’s going to be a great crop of sires, not
only ours, but the whole crop in general,”
WinStar Farm president and CEO Elliott
Walden said. “It’s a good group. Hopefully
we can get two or three proven sires out of
this crop, whether they’re ours or somebody else’s, but we need good sires. Hopefully someone will come forward.”
The strongest incoming multi-stallion
group in the Bluegrass State belongs
to Lane’s End, which adds a quartet of
Grade 1 winners in Honor Code (by A.P.
Indy), Liam’s Map (Unbridled’s Song), Mr
Speaker (Pulpit), and Tonalist (Tapit).
Honor Code earned 2015 Eclipse Award
honors as champion older dirt male, with
on-track rivals Liam’s Map and Tonalist
the other two finalists.
“Tonalist and Liam’s Map – we were
at each other all year,” Lane’s End owner
William S. Farish said while accepting
Honor Code’s Eclipse trophy. “I had great
respect for both of them and for their
owners, and am also very happy that they
get to join Honor Code at Lane’s End and
spend the rest of their stud careers. … It’s
just been a fabulous year.”
Lane’s End bought into Honor Code, a
member of its flagship sire A.P. Indy’s final
crop, as a yearling from breeder Dell Ridge
Farm. A graded stakes winners as a juvenile, the horse put together his best season
as an older horse in 2015, with dramatic
late charges to win the Met Mile and Whitney Handicap. He now resides in the stall
beside his pensioned sire at Lane’s End.
Front-running Liam’s Map rebounded
from a narrow loss to Honor Code in the
Whitney to win the Woodward and the
Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile. Tonalist, third
in the Whitney, went on to repeat in the
Jockey Club Gold Cup, then added the
Cigar Mile in his career finale.
Tonalist, winner of the 2014 Belmont
Stakes, is one of several multiple Grade

Honor Code is one of four new stallions for 2016 at Lane’s End in Versailles, Ky.
1-winning sons of two-time reigning leading sire Tapit to retire to stud this year.
The horse is from the family of Horse of the
Year Havre de Grace, champion Plugged
Nickle, Grade 1 winners Riskaverse, Sauce
Boat, and Christiecat, and leading sire
Raja Baba.
Another Belmont Stakes winner retiring
to stud this year is Palace Malice (Curlin),
who joins the roster at Three Chimneys.
The horse captured the 2013 edition of the
classic, and returned the following season
to win the Met Mile, displaying brilliance
along with his stamina.
WinStar Farm also has a strong hand,
featuring a quartet of newcomers with
classic influences and ties to leading sires.
Constitution (Tapit) dominated at Gulfstream Park, winning the 2014 Florida
Derby and adding last year’s Donn Handicap with a Beyer Speed Figure of 111.
Multiple graded stakes winner Commissioner (A.P. Indy), also from his sire’s final
crop, finished a close second to Tonalist in
the Belmont. Daredevil (More Than Ready)
and Carpe Diem (Giant’s Causeway) were
both Grade 1-winning juveniles, and Carpe
Diem added the Blue Grass Stakes the
following spring.
“The one thing about them is three of
the four have different sire lines – Giant’s
Causeway, Tapit, and More Than Ready,
then Commissioner is an A.P. Indy, so
he’s similar to Constitution at a different
price point,” Walden said. “In some ways
it’s been good, because it allows people
to come and look at two or three horses.
I feel like from a competition standpoint,
if we didn’t stand them, they’d be standing somewhere in Kentucky anyway, so I
don’t feel like it’s a detriment to have four
new horses at the same time. I’m really
excited about these four horses because
they all bring something to the table,
and I think that gives them a chance to
be successful sires. It’s like anything
else, they have to do it now, but they’re all
going to get their chance.”
Spendthrift Farm, which has revolutionized the stallion business with its incentive
programs such as “Share the Upside” and
“Breed Secure,” adds six new stallions to
its arsenal in Kentucky alone, led by a pair
of classic-placed performers in Grade 1
winner Danza (Street Boss), who was third
in the Kentucky Derby, and multi-surface
stakes performer Medal Count (Dynaformer), who was third in the Belmont. Also
beginning their stud careers at Spendthrift
are Grade 1 winners Palace (City Zip) and
Wicked Strong (Hard Spun), plus multiple
Grade 2 winner Race Day (Tapit).
Standing his first Northern Hemisphere
season for Spendthrift will be Hampton
Court (Redoute’s Choice), who launched
his stallion career with the recent South-

ern Hemisphere season at Spendthrift
Australia. The Group 1 winner, by one of
that continent’s leading sires, is from the
family of champion Makybe Diva.
Hampton Court is one of several international influences available to North American breeders this season. French 2000
Guineas and Breeders’ Cup Mile winner
Karakontie (Bernstein) remained stateside
to begin his stallion career at Gainesway,
while Hakassan (Sir Cat), winner of the
Chilean Triple Crown, is new to Millennium Farms. Both are from outstanding
female families, with Karakontie produced
from the line launched by two-time Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Miesque, and Hakassan from the family of Triple Crown
winner and prominent sire Seattle Slew.
Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Bayern
(Offlee Wild) and Breeders’ Cup Sprint
and Juvenile Sprint winner Secret Circle
(Eddington) were stablemates during their
racing careers and have remained together
in retirement, both joining the stallion
ranks at Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms.
Other Grade 1 winners retiring to stud
in Kentucky for 2016 are Competitive Edge
(Super Saver) at Ashford Stud, Jack Milton
(War Front) at Crestwood Farm, and Lea
(First Samurai) at Claiborne Farm.
Barbara D. Livingston
Tonalist, a son of Tapit, will stand his debut season at Lane’s End for $30,000.

STROUD’S LANE FARM DEBUTS WITH NEW STALLIONS
By Joe Nevills
Opening up shop as a stallion operation
brings with it an undeniable degree of
risk. Doing so with a trio of first-year stallions makes it that much more interesting.
Stroud’s Lane Farm in Reddick, Fla.,
will take on that bold task in 2016, standing
Grade 1 winners Seek Again and Admiral
Kitten, as well as multiple Group 2 winner
Daddy Long Legs, all of which will make
their debut at stud.
“The goal was to bring three really
strong horses and help the Florida breeders so they don’t have to ship so many
mares to Kentucky,” said Ryan Barbazon,
the farm’s general manager and trainer. “If
you’re going to start one up, you can’t bring
as much horsepower to Florida as we did it
with the first three.”
The stallion business is the latest extension of Ontario-based lawyer Murray
Stroud’s Thoroughbred interests, which
were perhaps best manifested by homebred Youcan’tcatchme, Canada’s champion
female sprinter of 2013.
Starting without the security of a proven
stallion on the roster to serve as a cornerstone can appear daunting in a state that
had about half as many mares bred in 2014
than it did in 2007. However, Barbazon said
he was confident he and Stroud had the
staff and the roster in place to succeed.
“There’s always concerns,” he said. “Even
though we’re confident in what we brought
to the operation, it’s still an up-in-the-air
market. There’s always risk to everything
you do in the horse business, but we both
believe that if you surround yourself with
good people, good things will happen, and
that’s what we’re going to stand by.”
Leading the way is Seek Again, a 6-yearold son of Speightstown who retired with
five wins in 18 career starts and earnings of
$942,926, highlighted by the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby and the Grade 2 Fourstardave
Handicap. He will stand for a fee of $8,500.
The Juddmonte Farms homebred is out
of the Grade 1-winning Danehill mare
Light Jig, who also has produced Group 3
winner Treble Jig.
“When we did the press release, the first
five calls were, ‘How did you pull that off?’
” Barbazon said. “The female family is the
best female family in Florida, and could
be in the top 10 in Kentucky. The first five
dams are black type and black-type producers. I think there are only five or six horses
in the whole country who can even say
that. He’s a well-bred horse by Juddmonte,
so bringing him down here was a tall feat.”
Also taking residence at Stroud’s Lane
Farm in 2016 is Grade 1 winner Admiral
Kitten, a 6-year-old son of Kitten’s Joy from
Nikki Sherman
Seek Again is one of three stallions at the new Stroud’s Lane Farm in Reddick, Fla.
the family of champion Cozzene and Grade
2 winners Funistrada, Krisada, and Spring
Venture.
Rounding out the newcomers is the
7-year-old Scat Daddy horse Daddy Long
Legs, a Group 2 winner in England and the
U.A.E. Each stallion will stand for $5,000.
Florida
Ocala Stud will stand Grade 1 winner
The Big Beast (Yes It’s True) and Grade 2
winner I Spent It (Super Saver). Journeyman Stud in Ocala will introduce Grade 3
winner Fury Kapcori (Tiznow) and allowance winner Khozan (Distorted Humor), a
half-brother to champion Royal Delta.
Multiple Grade 2 winner Amira’s Prince
(Teofilo) is at Pleasant Acres Stallions,
while Grade 2 winner Bahamian Squall
(Gone West) stands at Double Diamond
Farm. Chitu (Henny Hughes), a Grade 3
winner, will debut at Bridlewood Farm.
New York
Two stallions join the roster at
Questroyal North in Stillwater: Grade 1
winner Golden Ticket (Speightstown) and
multiple Grade 3 winner Majestic City
(City Zip).
Keane Stud in Amenia, will stand a pair
of newcomers, including Grade 2 winner
Al Khali (Medaglia d’Oro). The farm also
will stand Grade 1-placed Normandy Invasion (Tapit) for Spendthrift Farm.
Irish Hill Century Farm will introduce
Grade 2 winner Zivo (True Direction),
while McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds will stand Grade 3 winner Major
Gain (More Than Ready), and Rockridge
Stud will stand Grade 3 winner Micromanage (Medaglia d’Oro).
Elsewhere, Waldorf Farm will stand
