Hit It a Bomb, the winner of the 2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, will shuttle to Haras Firmamento in Argentina for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.
The 7-year-old son of War Front stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., where he was advertised in 2020 for $5,000. His first foals are 2-year-olds of 2020, and he was represented by his first winner at stud on June 21, when the gelding Weston won a Santa Anita Park maiden special weight.
Hit It a Bomb has become a frequent traveler to Argentina during his young stud career, having covered 75 mares in the country during last year's Southern Hemisphere season.
The stallion won three of seven starts during his on-track career for earnings of $626,476, highlighted by his Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf score at Keeneland. He also won the Star Appeal Stakes in Ireland as a juvenile. The horse came back at three to place in a pair of Irish group stakes races.
A Kentucky homebred for Evelyn Stockwell, Hit It a Bomb is out of the Irish Group 3-winning Sadler's Wells mare Liscanna, making him a full-brother to European champion Brave Anna.
