Dr Post, a multiple Grade 3 winner who finished second in the 2020 Belmont Stakes, will begin his stallion career in Argentina during the upcoming Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.
The 6-year-old son of Quality Road was purchased by Haras La Nora, and he will stand at Haras La Pasión in the Buenos Aires province of Argentina. Haras Firmamento will also partner on the horse. He is the first stallion by Quality Road to stand in the country.
Trained by Todd Pletcher for St. Elias Stable, Dr Post won four of 13 starts for earnings of $888,422.
After breaking his maiden in March of his 3-year-old season, Dr Post won the Unbridled Stakes at Gulfstream Park in his following start. When the COVID-19 pandemic shuffled the 2020 Triple Crown schedule, he was pointed toward the Belmont Stakes, held in late June at a shortened 1 1/8 miles, and he finished second to Tiz the Law.
Dr Post added a third-place effort in the G1 Haskell Invitational Stakes and a fourth in the G2 Jim Dandy Stakes before a lid was put on his sophomore campaign.
At four, Dr Post debuted with a 1 1/2-length score in the G3 Westchester Stakes, and he added another victory in the G3 Monmouth Cup Stakes two starts later. As the season went on, he picked up third-place finishes in the G1 Pacific Classic Stakes and Woodward Stakes. He was sidelined for over a year at the end of his 4-year-old season, and he came back for one final start in December 2022, where he was out of the money in a Gulfstream Park optional claiming race.
Bred in Kentucky by Cloyce C. Clark, Dr Post is out of the Grade 2-winning Hennessy mare Mary Delaney.
