GSW Dennis’ Moment Retired to Leadem Farm in Arkansas

Graded stakes winner and 'TDN Rising Star' Dennis' Moment (Tiznow–Transplendid, by Elusive Quality) has been retired from racing and will stand the upcoming season at Leadem Farm near Leola, Arkansas. Owned by a syndicate led by Glen Hill Farm and brokered by Jay Goodwin, Dennis' Moment will stand for $2,500.

Bred by Tolo Thoroughbreds in Kentucky, the now-5-year-old was a $400,000 yearling purchase by Albaugh Family Racing at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale. Debuting at Churchill Downs in June at two, the Dale Romans trainee clipped heels and unseated his rider, then reappeared a month later to blow the doors off the competition by 19 1/4 lengths at Ellis Park, resulting in his 'Rising Star' moniker. Dennis' Moment quickly added the GIII Iroquois S. at Churchill and was sent to the 2019 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile as the odds-on favorite, only to stumble badly out of the gate and lose all chance. He was raced sparingly the next three seasons, winning an optional allowance at Keeneland at four prior to placing in the GIII Mr. Prospector S. at Gulfstream. Dennis' Moment retires with a record of 14-3-2-3 and earnings of $302,962.

Hailing from the family of French, U.S., and Japanese Grade I/Group 1 winner Golden Pheasant (Caro {Ire}), Dennis' Moment is out a granddaughter of MGSW Seewillo (Pleasant Colony). His own dam, Transplendid, sold for $1.4 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton November sale.

Breeding Right In Havana Grey And A Share In Almanzor To Sell In Tattersalls Online November Sale

A lifetime breeding right in smart, young sire Havana Grey (GB) will be offered during the Tattersalls November Sale on Nov. 16-17. The Whitsbury Manor Stud-based grey leads all first-crop European sires by earnings, stakes winners (5), and black-type horses with 13. A stunning 82 of his 100 first-crop foals have already faced the starter, resulting in 41 winners, only two behind Sioux Nation's 43 winners this season. It was announced on Monday that he would stand for an increased fee of £18,500 in 2023.

Also selling is a share in dual-hemisphere shuttler Almanzor (Fr), who sired his first Group 1 winner with Manzoice (Aus)'s victory in the G1 Victoria Derby at Flemington recently. That colt is one of six stakes winners divided between both hemispheres for Almanzor, with the listed winners Dynastic (NZ), 'TDN Rising Star' Lassaut (Fr), and Around Midnight (Fr) also placed at Group 1 level, the G2 Prix Niel, and the G3 Prix des Reservoirs, respectively. His stud fee at Haras d'Etreham in France was also announced on Monday, and the bay will be available for €25,000.

The complete catalogue for the upcoming Tattersalls Online November Sale will be released on Thursday.

Cheveley Park Stud Releases 2023 Roster

Ulysses (Ire) anchors the Cheveley Park Stud roster in 2023 at £10,000. His progeny include G3 Ballysax S. scorer Piz Badile (Ire) who was also runner-up in the G1 Irish Derby, as well as second-crop colt Holloway Boy (GB), the winner of the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot and third in the G1 Futurity Trophy later in the year.

Twilight Son (GB) will stand for £7,000, while Mayson (GB)'s fee has been set at £6,000. Also standing for Cheveley Park is Unfortunately (Ire), who is based at Springfield House Stud in Ireland. His fee is €3,500. All fees are payable Oct. 1, special live foal terms.

Bloodstock Manager and Head of Nominations Matthew Sigsworth said, “It has been pleasing to see our stallions' progeny have yet another solid year both on the track and in the sales ring. We have therefore decided to leave our fees unchanged for 2023.

“The regally bred Ulysses has continued to make an encouraging start with his first two crops of runners. Highlighted by the group winning and Classic-placed Piz Badile, along with the Royal Ascot 2-year-old stakes winner Holloway Boy,

who was group placed on no less than four other occasions, including at Group 1 level. He now has Classic aspirations and is being aimed at the G1 2000 Guineas in May.

“Once again, Mayson is one of the leading sires of sprinters in Europe, headed by the group winner and Group 1-placed Rohaan (Ire). We believe Mayson continues to be one of the most consistent and best value sprint stallions standing in Europe.

“Twilight Son has enjoyed another excellent year, with seven black- type horses, including the group winners Twilight Jet (Ire) and Twilight Spinner (GB), as well as the leading sprinter and Group 1-placed Twilight Calls (GB).

“Unfortunately has made a most promising start with a 44% winners to runners strike rate with his first crop 2-year-olds, and he will once again stand at Springfield House Stud in Ireland, with Reddy and Linda Coffey.

'We feel our roster offers outstanding value and quality and, as always, we invite breeders to contact us directly to discuss their mares' mating plans for 2023.”
