Champion Maximum Security Retired To Ashford Stud

Champion Maximum Security has been retired from racing and is now available for inspection at Ashford Stud where he will stand for 2021.

A winner in his only start as a juvenile by 9 3/4 lengths for owner/breeders Gary and Mary West, Maximum Security was first past the post in all of his four Grade 1 starts as a sophomore, winning the Haskell, the Cigar Mile and the Florida Derby and was arguably unlucky to have lost the Kentucky Derby despite having run out an easy winner.

As a 4-year-old, Maximum Security won the lucrative Saudi Cup, defeating eight individual Grade 1 winners, before transferring to Bob Baffert for whom he won the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap and the G1 Pacific Classic Stakes.

The best son of Street Cry's Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner New Year's Day, Maximum Security is a three-parts brother to triple Grade 1 winner Flat Out so he has the pedigree to match his race record and looks.

“Maximum Security was an exceptional racehorse and I have no doubt that he will prove very popular with breeders once they see him,” said Ashford's director of sales Charlie O'Connor. “He's an extremely impressive-looking individual.”

Maximum Security's fee has been set at $20,000.

War of Will Retired, to Stand for $25,000 at Claiborne

Classic winner and dual-surface multiple Grade I winner War of Will (War Front–Visions of Clarity {Ire}, by Sadler’s Wells) has been officially retired and arrived at the Hancock family’s Claiborne Farm near Paris, Ky., Monday morning to prepare for the 2021 breeding season. War of Will will stand for $25,000 live foal, stands and nurses.

Trained by Mark Casse for Gary Barber, War of Will burst onto the Triple Crown trail last year with consecutive wins in the GIII LeComte S. and the GII Risen Star S. before capturing the GI Preakness S. Switched to the lawn this year, he added the GI Maker’s Mark Mile S. at Keeneland, a victory that put the versatile bay in rarified air with Grade I victories on both the dirt and turf. War of Will also placed in the GI Ricoh Woodbine Mile S. this year, the GI Pennsylvania Derby last year, and the GI Summer S. at two. Last seen off the board in Saturday’s GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, he retires with a record of 18-5-1-3 and earnings of $1,881,803.

War of Will, who is out of a half-sister to European champion, Breeders’ Cup winner, and sire Spinning World (Nureyev), will be available for inspection by breeders Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Breaking Lucky Moves To Pleasant Acres Stallions In Florida For 2021

The Canadian classic winner Breaking Lucky will be standing in Florida for the 2021 breeding season at Pleasant Acres Stallions, with a fee of $5,000.

He began his stallion career at Blue Star Racing in Louisiana for the 2020 breeding season. Before retiring to Louisiana, Breaking Lucky successfully raced for the partnerships of West Point Thoroughbreds, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, Eric Young, and R.A. Hill Stable.

“Our mission has always been to expand Florida's breeding program by offering exceptional stallion bloodlines,” said Joe Barbazon, owner of Pleasant Acres Stallions. “Bringing Breaking Lucky to Pleasant Acres Stallions is a huge win for all of us in the state. This successful graded stakes-winning millionaire is the the only son of Lookin at Lucky to be standing in Florida and we are proud to have him at Pleasant Acres Stallions.”

Hailing from the red-hot sire line of Lookin at Lucky (Smart Strike), Breaking Lucky also comes from an impressive female family. His dam, the graded-placed Shooting Party (Sky Classic), broke her maiden in her first race. She was second in the Grade 1 Garden City Breeders' Cup Handicap and was third in both the G3 Pebbles Handicap and the G2 Nassau County Stakes.

Shooting Party had already produced two winners from her first two foals to race when she foaled Breaking Lucky – who went on to win $1,196,376. Currently, she is the dam of four winners including Quake Lake (War Chant) – the dam of Kentucky Derby winner Country House (Looking at Lucky) and the G3 Gallorette Stakes winner Mitchell Road (English Channel).

Breaking Lucky's sire, Lookin at Lucky, stands in Kentucky for $20,000 and is well on his way to becoming a sire of sires. A champion at two and three, he won nine races including the Preakness Stakes, the G1 Izod Haskell Invitational Stakes, the G1 Del Mar Futurity, the G1 Norfolk Stakes, and the G1 CashCall Futurity. Lookin at Lucky was in the money 11 out of 13 starts with career earnings of $3,307,278.

He is the sire of champion Accelerate (standing for $17,500 in Kentucky), Country House (standing for $7,500 in Kentucky), Grade 1 winner Wow Cat, and Grade 2 winners Madefromlucky, Money Multiplier, Dr Dorr, and Diamond Oops, among others.

On the track, Breaking Lucky won the 2015 Prince of Wales Stakes – the second leg of Canada's Triple Crown – while defeating Grade 1 winner and 2015 Sovereign Award champion 3-year-old Shaman Ghost (Ghostzapper).

In 2016, he won the G3 Seagram Cup Stakes at Woodbine. Breaking Lucky went on to place in the G1 Clark Handicap, G1 Whitney Stakes, and G1 Stephen Foster Handicap behind Horse of the Year Gun Runner (Candy Ride).

In total, Breaking Lucky was on the board in 10 graded stakes and two black type races, while campaigning in two countries, during his racing career.

Breaking Lucky joins stallions Amira's Prince, Bucchero, Gunnevera, Handsome Mike, Long On Value, Neolithic, Ride On Curlin, Squadron A, Sweetontheladies, and Treasure Beach at the 220-acre farm located just northwest of Ocala.
