Cowboy Culture To Stand At Whitney Farms In Indiana

Quality Road's graded stakes-winning son Cowboy Culture enters stud in 2021 at Whitney Farms in Monrovia, Ind.

Undefeated in his first three starts for Repole Stable, Cowboy Culture won the Grade 3 Arlington Classic Stakes by a widening 5 3/4 lengths. A winner of six races from ages two to four, he retired sound with earnings of $339,494.

The 16.1- hand Cowboy Culture represents an outstanding opportunity for the Indiana breeder looking for a stellar racehorse by America's leading sire. His 2021 introductory fee of $2,500 live foal is enhanced with an option to breed additional mares for $1,500 each.

Best of all, participating breeders will receive at no cost a guaranteed lifetime breeding right to Cowboy Culture after three contracts have been fulfilled.

“My wife and I are thrilled to enter the Thoroughbred industry with a young, high-class stallion like Cowboy Culture,” said farm owner Josh Whitney. “His world-class pedigree, stellar race record, and conformational excellence exceeds that of any stallion in the state. As a fully-equipped breeding and layup facility only 40 miles east of Indiana Grand we offer our clients an on-site veterinary clinic staffed by the best professionals. Proper animal husbandry is the foundation of our long involvement with horses and we invite horsemen to visit us at any time, without appointment.”

Central Banker Leads McMahon Of Saratoga’s 2021 Stallion Roster

McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., revealed the advertised fees for its 2021 stallion roster, led by fast-rising sire Central Banker.

“Anne and I purchased our Fitch Road farm 50 years ago this March,” said farm owner Joe McMahon. “We feel fortunate that we have been well supported by the New York breeding community all of those years. Recent months have been very hard for everyone involved in racing and breeding, and we are reducing the fees for our stallions for the 2021 breeding season to reflect the challenges brought on by 2020.”

Central Banker, a Grade 2-winning son of Speightstown, will stand the upcoming season for an advertised fee of $6,000. His runners are led by multiple stakes winner and graded stakes-placed Bankit, whose earnings are now in excess of $700,000, and multiple stakes winner Newly Minted.

Central Banker covered 114 mares in 2020, and he currently sits second on New York's general sire list by progeny earnings this season, with $1,878,786.

Solomini, a Grade 1-placed son of Curlin, will stand for $5,000. He stood his first season in 2020, and he covered 123 mares, the most of any New York stallion.

Rounding out the roster is Redesdale, a son of Speightstown whose first foals are weanlings of 2020. He'll stand for $3,000 in 2021 after covering 66 mares in 2020, and 81 mares in his inaugural season a year earlier.

“We feel confident that the New York breeding program remains the strongest of its kind in the world, and our goal is to offer the best valued and most attractive stallions outside of Kentucky,” McMahon said. “We hope these reduced fees help New York breeders through this difficult time, and we look forward to working with our breeders in the coming months.”

Following are the advertised 2021 fees for the McMahon of Saratoga stallion roster:

Central Banker – $6,000
Redesdale – $3,000
Solomini – $5,000

Grade 3-Placed Tour De Force Enters Stud At Workwize Stables In Alberta

The graded stakes placed runner Tour de Force will stand the 2021 season at Workwize Stables in Acme, Alberta.

The 7-year-old Tiznow stallion completed his racing career this August with total earnings of $213,360. His record includes two third-place finishes last season in the $100,000 Flat Out Stakes at Belmont Park and the $150,000 Grade 3 Excelsior Stakes at Aqueduct. Tour de Force also finished third in the $75,000 black type Challedon Stakes at Laurel Park in 2018.

Bred in Kentucky by Kinsman Farn, the freshman sire sold for $1.35 million at the 2014 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, consigned by Lane's End Farm.

The dam of Tour de Force, Dream Supreme, is a multiple grades stakes-winning Seeking the Gold mare who earned over $1 million in three seasons on the track. The impressive record for Dream Supreme included victories in the Grade 1 Ballerina Handicap and Test Stakes at Saratoga in addition to multiple wins in Grade 2 and Grade 3 stakes races.

Tour de Force is a half-brother to Grade 1 winner and sire Majestic Warrior, as well as Grade 3-placed stakes winner Evolutionist and stakes-winning stakes producer Crystal Current.

2,000 Guineas Winner Kameko Will Retire To Tweenhills After Breeders’ Cup Run

QIPCO 2,000 Guineas winner Kameko will be retired to stand at Tweenhills, home of the Qatar Racing stallions, at the end of his 3-year-old campaign in 2020.

Kameko was the fastest ever winner of the 2,000 Guineas and Qatar Racing's third European Gr.1 Classic winner after Simple Verse and Just The Judge. He was also an impressive winner of the Gr.1 Vertem Futurity Trophy Stakes at two and successfully gave weight to world-class older horses in the Gr.2 Joel Stakes.

The son of Kitten's Joy – the same sire as Qatar Racing's late world champion Roaring Lion – joins Zoustar, Champion First-, Second- and Third-Season Sire in Australia, Gr.1-winning sire Havana Gold and champion older miler Lightning Spear at Tweenhills for the 2021 breeding season.

Looking back on Kameko's success, Sheikh Fahad Al-Thani, Chairman of Qatar Racing, said: “My brothers and I are delighted to own another superstar in Kameko, whose record-breaking two- and three-year-old campaigns will live long in our memory. We cannot wait to unveil him to breeders.”

Trainer Andrew Balding added: “Kameko is without doubt the best horse I've trained. He has all the attributes of a top-class miler and is a striking horse to look at. I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to train a horse of such class.”

Kameko was a first British Classic winner for jockey Oisin Murphy, who said: “I felt from the very beginning that this could be a special horse. He's the perfect model – he has size, durability and a great character. To ride, he has super balance, a great turn of foot and a good mind – you can put him anywhere in a race. He's a machine.”

Kameko will run at the Breeders' Cup and on his return will be paraded for breeders, along with other Tweenhills stallions, at Longholes Stud in Newmarket during the Tattersalls December Mare Sale. His 2021 stud fee and syndication plans will be announced in due course.
