Breeders have three exciting opportunities to access top talent at War Horse Place. The farm has secured the opportunity to stand Preakness Stakes winner Rombauer, graded stakes-winning millionaire Sacred Life (FR) and Grade 1-winning millionaire Smooth Like Strait.
Owner and director of farm operations Dana Aschinger McCreary said, “We are excited to offer central Kentucky breeders' access to stallions who performed consistently at the highest levels of the sport.”
By leading sire Twirling Candy from a deep female family, classic-winning Rombauer was impressive at both two and three. A Grade 1- placed juvenile he opened his sophomore season winning listed El Camino Real Derby before heading east to take the Preakness Stakes, and place third in the Belmont Stakes and Grade 2 Toyota Blue Grass. Rombauer will stand for $6,000 LFSN.
An undefeated graded stakes winner in France at two, Sacred Life (FR) headed stateside to the barn of Chad Brown during his 4-year-old campaign and remained consistently competitive at the highest levels, winning his final graded stakes as a 7-year-old. Retiring with 27 career starts, in which he was on the board in 19, including three graded stakes wins this is the only son of leading sire Siyouni standing in the U.S. Sacred Life (FR) will stand for $2,000 LFSN with concessions to black-type mares.
The 6-year-old son of champion sprinter Midnight Lute Smooth Like Strait retires with a 7-9-3 record from 26 career starts that included five graded stakes wins and an additional 10 graded-placed finishes. He won from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles, with his best performance a 1 1/2-length win in the 2021 G1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes at Santa Anita Park. His career earnings total $1,813,863. Smooth Like Strait will stand for $3,500 LFSN.
An open house will be held at War Horse Place to view the stallions this weekend, Nov. 11-12, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
