Texas Red, the winner of the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, has relocated to Buckeye Stallion Station, a subsidiary of Hurst Racing Stables, in Hubbard, Ohio for the 2023 breeding season.

The 11-year-old son of Afleet Alex will stand for an advertised fee of $3,000, with special considerations available.

Texas Red began his stallion career at Crestwood Farm in Kentucky during the 2017 breeding season. He has sired four crops of racing age, with 36 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $2.3 million.

His leading runners to date include My Girl Red, winner of the Grade 2 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar, along with Grade 3-placed Someone Said So and stakes-placed runners Somuchsugar and Texas Red Bel.

During his own racing career, Texas Red won three of nine starts for earnings of $1,767,300, racing for owners Erich Brehm, Wayne Detmar, Lee Michaels, Keith Desormeaux, and Gene Voss. Desormeaux also trained the horse.

Texas Red broke his maiden as a 2-year-old in his third career start at Del Mar, then he finished third behind eventual champion 2-year-old and future Triple Crown winner and Horse of the Year American Pharoah in the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

Texas Red then scored the biggest victory of his career in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile, also at Santa Anita, where he rallied from last to win by a commanding 6 1/2 lengths at odds of 13-1. The effort earned him a spot as an Eclipse Award finalist as champion 2-year-old male.

At three, Texas Red returned to the races with a runner-up effort in the G2 San Vicente Stakes, but a foot abscess knocked him off the Kentucky Derby trail. His summer comeback started with a second in the G3 Dwyer Stakes, and it was highlighted by a victory in the G2 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, where he held off Grade 1 winner Frosted by a half-length.

Bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, Texas Red is out of the Grade 3-placed Chilean stakes-winning Jeune Homme mare Ramatuelle, whose five foals to race are all winners. He hails from the family of Chilean champion Nuevo Maestro, Le Ken, and Via Sixtina.
