Aloha West (Hard Spun – Island Bound, by Speightstown), winner of the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar in 2021, has been retired from racing to Mill Ridge Farm.
Owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and trained by Wayne Catalano, Aloha West is from the family of Fappiano and out of a winner of the G3 Winning Colors Stakes over six furlongs at Churchill Downs. He was bred in Maryland by Robert T. Manfuso and Katharine Voss.
“This horse has the potential to be a great stallion as he had two key ingredients, speed and heart. And, he is beautiful,” said Catalano.
“This past week we have been syndicating Aloha West and have a foundation group of breeders participating,” said Price Bell, general manager at Mill Ridge. “He is an exciting stallion prospect to join Oscar Performance as he has speed, pedigree blend, great looks and good price point. Eclipse is a terrific partner, and we look forward to the future for Aloha West and his stallion career. He will reside in his maternal grandsire's stall, Gone West. ”
Aloha West will stand for $10,000 live foal and will be available for inspection on Monday, Nov. 14, and every day of the Keeneland November Sale at 2 p.m. Contact Kim Poulin at kpoulin@millridge.com for more information.
