Plainsman, a multiple Grade 3-winning son of Flatter, will retire to Buck Pond Farm in Lexington, Ky., for the 2023 breeding season, where he will stand for an advertised fee of $5,000.
The 7-year-old retires with nine wins in 32 starts, and earnings of $1,408,412, for trainer Brad Cox and owner Shortleaf Stable.
Plainsman got his first taste of graded stakes success as a 3-year-old when he won the Grade 3 Discovery Stakes at Aqueduct in wire-to-wire fashion.
His best season came in 2021, when he tallied victories in the Jim Rasmussen Stakes at Prairie Meadows and the listed Michael G. Schaefer Memorial Stakes at Horseshoe Indianapolis, before splitting foes to win the G3 Ack Ack Stakes at Churchill Downs. He then finished the season with a third-place effort in the G1 Cigar Mile Handicap.
Plainsman was among the top horses in Oaklawn Park's handicap division earlier this year, winning the G3 Razorback Handicap and finishing in the money in the G3 Essex Handicap and G2 Oaklawn Handicap.
Bred in Kentucky by Joseph Minor, Plainsman is out of the winning Street Sense mare S S Pinafore. He was a $350,000 purchase at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
Plainsman will be available for inspection at Buck Pond Farm beginning Saturday, Oct. 29.
