Veteran Pin Oak Stallion Broken Vow Pensioned From Stud Duty

Broken Vow (Unbridled–Wedding Vow, by Nijinsky II) has been pensioned from stud duty, Pin Oak Stud announced today.

The Pin Oak homebred won nine of his 14 starts, and won or placed in six graded stakes, earning $725,296. Trained by Graham Motion, Broken Vow won the Grade 2 Philip H. Iselin Handicap and G3 Ben Ali Stakes and placed in the G1 Gulfstream Park Handicap, G3 Fayette Stakes, and the G2 Meadowlands Cup Handicap, etc., before retiring to his birthplace in Kentucky to start his career at stud.

The 24-year-old stallion retires having been among the top 15 active sires, with an impressive 15 percent black type horses from starters. Broken Vow sired 159 black type horses in total, 80 of those black type winners, as well as six champions.

His six Grade 1 winners include Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies winner and Eclipse champion Champagne Room, the co-topweight female sprinter of her year Sassy Image, as well as Cotton Blossom, Unbridled Belle, and Rosalind. Additionally, Broken Vow is making his mark as a broodmare sire, as his daughters have already produced three champions and some 100 black type horses, including Eclipse champion Runhappy.

“First as a race horse and then as an anchor to our stallion roster for 20 seasons, Broken Vow is the embodiment of Ms. Abercrombie's breeding program, producing sound, competitive racehorses whose bloodlines endure,” said Clifford Barry, manager of Pin Oak Stud. “We appreciate the industry's support through the years, but mostly we thank Broken Vow for his loyal service to the farm and look forward to providing a well-deserved retirement for him here at Pin Oak.”

Army Mule Filly Tops Colorado Mixed Sale At Arapahoe Park

A filly from the first crop of Army Mule topped a sale hosted by Vaughn Long Auctioneers, LLC on Oct. 8 at Bally's Arapahoe Park in Aurora, Colo.

The mixed sale of Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse yearlings, weanlings, broodmares, and pony horses served as the spiritual successor to the Colorado Thoroughbred Breeders' Association's Silver Cup Sale, which has traditionally been the state's primary auction.

A total of 37 horses changed hands at the Arapahoe Park sale for revenues of $131,400 and an average sale price of $3,551. The buyback rate was 21 percent.

“Thank you to everyone who came together to put on this sale for the first time at Bally's Arapahoe Park,” said auctioneer Vaughn Long. “We're looking forward to next year and growing. We might possibly have a race for the yearlings and hopefully a derby that we're working on.”

Riley Parsons purchased the sale-topper, a yearling Army Mule filly named Ms. Hot Lips, for $20,000.

Offered as Hip 28, the bay filly is out of the winning E Dubai mare Fine Lookin Lady, who is the dam of two runners.

Bred in Colorado by the partnership of Menoken Farms, Bob Schreiber, Francis Heckendorf, and Don and Michell Laubacher, Ms. Hot Lips hails from the family of Grade 1 winners Rosalind and Life's Hope. Her dam, Fine Lookin Lady, is a half-sister to Grade 1-placed Heart of Destiny and Grade 2-placed Brother Bobby.

Ms. Hot Lips was consigned by Menoken Farms.

At this time, people have a lot of opportunity to reassess their stables to best suit where they will race over the winter.”

The online horses of racing age catalog includes pedigrees, Daily Racing Form and Equibase past performances, race videos and Ragozin and Thoro-Graph figures. Consignors will be able to upload photographs and walking videos.
