“Atlanta Hall Farm is thrilled to announce the arrival of the esteemed Grade 1-winning and -siring Thoroughbred Stallion, Cupid, to our Maryland-based breeding program,” said Garrett Murray, owner and stallion manager of Atlanta Hall. “This transfer from Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky to our prestigious and historic facility marks an exciting new chapter for both Cupid and Atlanta Hall Farm. We are honored to welcome Cupid to our esteemed stallion roster, and we look forward to working with breeders to bring his exceptional genetics to the next generation of champions.”
Cupid, sold for $900,000 as a yearling at the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale. His graded stakes victories include impressive wins in prestigious races, including the Grade 1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita and the G2 Rebel Stakes.
Sired by Tapit, one of the most influential Stallions in the past half century siring 31 Grade/Group 1 winners and four Belmont Stakes winners, Cupid is quickly emerging as a powerhouse sire with recent winners such as Carson's Run taking the G1 Summer Stakes for 2-year-olds securing his place as a contender in the 2023 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.
