Gershwin, the winner of last year's Grade 3 Penn Mile Stakes, has been retired from racing and will begin his stud career at Haras Vikeda in Argentina, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.
The 4-year-old son of Distorted Humor recently arrived at Haras Vikeda, closing a career that featured two wins in seven starts as a homebred for Godolphin, for earnings of $265,600.
Trained by Michael Stidham, Gershwin's racing career started during his 3-year-old season, graduating in his second start: a rained-off-the-turf Fair Grounds maiden special weight. He made his graded stakes debut last May in the Grade 3 Penn Mile Stakes at Penn National, where he was once again rained off the turf, but drew off over sloppy goings to win by two lengths.
Gershwin is out of the multiple Grade 1-winning A.P. Indy mare Music Note, making him a half-brother to Dubai World Cup winner Mystic Guide.
