Journeyman Stud Announces Relocation And 2023 Fees

Journeyman Stud has relocated to Brent and Crystal Fernung's Reddick, Florida property for the 2023 breeding season.

“When we built the original stallion farm in 2008, our goal was to accommodate a large contingent of stallions and hence a fifteen-stall stallion barn,” said Brent Fernung. “Over the years, we've changed our sights toward more quality, fewer numbers and no longer saw the need for the larger operation. We've owned the Reddick property since 2006 and previously utilized it as our foaling facility and to start breaking yearlings.”

The new Journeyman Stud will stand four stallions in 2023 led by Khozan (Distorted Humor), Florida's leading sire the last three years. He will stand the 2023 breeding season for $6,500. Khozan's leading earner this year is GIII Victory Ride S. winner Hot Peppers.

Journeyman is also home to GSW Uncle Chuck (Uncle Mo) who stood his first year at stud in 2022. A half-brother to Maclean's Music (Distorted Humor), Uncle Chuck's stud fee will be $6,500 in 2023.

St Patrick's Day (Pioneerof the Nile), a full brother to Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, will stand for $3,500 in 2023 just as his first crop of 2-year-olds hit the track.

Rounding out the roster is MSW & GISP Chance It (Currency Swap) whose first foals will be born next year. His stud fee will be $2,000 in 2023.

The Fernungs will announce an upcoming date for their Open House in January to showcase the new facility.

Danedream’s Half-Sister Aspiring Takes Charge at Goffs

The Baroda Stud-consigned Aspiring (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), a half-sister to champion and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and five-times Group 1 winner Danedream (Ger) (Lomitas {GB}), was knocked down to the BBA Ireland on behalf of the Lucky Vega Syndicate for €790,000 to take the lead at about the midway stage of day one of the Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale. The unraced 4-year-old filly, also kin to Group 3 winner and Group 1-placed Venice Beach (Ire) and Group 3 winner Broadway (Ire), produced a colt by Wootton Bassett (GB) for her first produce this year and was offered back in foal to the Coolmore-based stallion. The Lucky Vega Syndicate also paid €530,000 for Bocca Baciata (Ire) (Big Bad Bob {Ire}) and €500,000 for Albula (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) to account for three of the session's four highest transactions.

Rushie Moves to Louisiana’s Blue Star Racing

GSW & GISP Rushie (Liam's Map–Conquest Angel, by Colonel John), who stood his first year in 2022 in Florida at Ocala's Pleasant Acres Stallions, has been moved to Blue Star Racing near Scott, Louisiana, for the 2023 breeding season. He will stand for $4,000, live foal.

“Sires from the Unbridled's Song line have been an integral part of Louisiana breeding success for the last 20 years and Rushie is the perfect candidate to continue that legacy,” said Blue Star Racing's Dex Comardelle. “His size, speed, and durability are a great match for the speedy sprint-type mares that make up the majority of our southwest mare population.”

From the first crop of Liam's Map, Rushie captured the 2020 GII Pat Day Mile S. and placed in four other graded races, including the GI Santa Anita Derby and the GII Blue Grass S. Blue Star Racing also stands GSW & MGISP Breaking Lucky (Lookin At Lucky), whose first foals are currently yearlings.
