Structor, the winner of the 2019 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, has been sold to begin his stallion career in Japan.
The deal was brokered by Ramiro Restrepo's Marquee Bloodstock, and it was announced via the company's social media channels on Jan. 17.
Marquee Bloodstock pinhooked the son of Palace Malice in partnership with Pick View, purchasing him as a yearling for $160,000 and selling him for $850,000 at the 2019 Ocala Breeders' Sales Co. March Sale of 2-Year-Olds In Training.
Structor went unbeaten during his 2-year-old season, winning on debut in a Saratoga turf maiden special weight, then taking the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park. He then shipped to Santa Anita Park for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, where he got up late to win by three-quarters of a length. The campaign saw him be named an Eclipse Award finalist for champion 2-year-old male.
After a layoff of more than a year, Structor returned for one more start in February 2021, where he finished fourth in a Gulfstream Park optional claiming race.
Structor retired with three wins in four starts for earnings of $710,880, racing for owners Jeff Drown and Don Rachel, and trained by Chad Brown.
Bred in Kentucky by Three Chimneys, Structor is out of the winning More Than Ready mare Miss Always Ready, who is also the dam of Grade 2-placed Always Carina. Miss Always Ready is a full-sister to 2010 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner More Than Real.
Proud to have brokered the Stallion purchase of G1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf winner, STRUCTOR; to stand in Japan 🇯🇵
What a ride🙏🏼🏇🏿: from pinhooking him with Joe, to the Breeders Cup 🏆 experience, & now to stud duty.
