Hill 'n' Dale Farms announced today that Stormy Atlantic, the sire of over 100 stakes winners, has been pensioned. Relocated from Florida to Hill 'n' Dale in 2002, the son of Storm Cat proved to be one of the most reliable turf sires of recent time.
A prolific sire of stakes winners, he averaged 12 stakes winners a year for ten straight years.
Raced in the colors of Arthur Appleton, Stormy Atlantic retired to Bridlewood Farm where he stood his first three years at stud. He is the sire of champions Up With the Birds ($1,870,376), Stormy Liberal ($2,212,580), El Tormenta ($816,106), Stormy Antarctic ($946,832), Conquest Typhoon ($759,449), Leonnatus Anteas ($600,074), Maritimer ($362,835), Storm Allied ($229,114), Dixie Wave, etc. and Grade 1 Winners Get Stormy ($1,606,812), Stormy Lucy ($851,700), Stormello ($700,100), Next Question ($424,391), Victor Security, etc.. In addition, he is emerging as an important broodmare sire.
“Stormy Atlantic has been generous to Hill 'n' Dale and his shareholders. I would like to thank George Issacs from Bridlewood for showing the confidence in us for moving Stormy Atlantic from Ocala. He was truly an important sire, whose influence will endure,” said John G. Sikura, President of Hill 'n' Dale Farms.
