Gufo, a multiple Grade 1 winner and earner of more than $2 million, has been retired from racing to enter stud at Ballycroy Bloodstock in Loretto, Ontario, Daily Racing Form reports.
The 6-year-old Declaration of War horse finished his career with nine wins in 21 starts, earning $2,176,530 for owner Otter Bend Stables and trainer Christophe Clement.
Gufo racked up seven stakes victories over the course of his career, winning two editions of the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes, along with victories in the G1 Belmont Derby Invitational Stakes, the G2 Pan American Stakes, and the G3 Kent Stakes.
Bred in Kentucky by John Little and Stephen Cainelli, Gufo is out of the unplaced Petionville mare Floy, making him a half-brother to graded stakes winner Hogy.
Gufo will stand for an advertised fee of $4,500 (Canadian), with discounts for multiple mares and a 50 percent-off special for mares under 12 years old that were maiden special weight or stakes winners at age two, or stakes-producing mares.
