Pontiff (Giant's Causeway–Preach, by Mr. Prospector) has been relocated from Washington to Daehling Ranch in Northern California. Pontiff was bred in Kentucky by Claiborne Farm and ran in Orb's GI Florida Derby in 2013 as a maiden in just his third lifetime start. Pontiff campaigned for five years, retiring after his 2017 season with a record of 35-3-10-7 and earnings of $126,481. His wins came on both the turf and the dirt.
A half-brother to the late Pulpit, whose sons at stud include leading sire Tapit, Pontiff will stand in 2022 for $2,500, live foal guarantee. His oldest foals are current 2-year-olds.
