Will Take Charge Shuttling To Uruguay For Southern Hemisphere Season

Champion Will Take Charge will shuttle to Haras Phillipson in Uruguay for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

Will Take Charge, a 10-year-old son of Unbridled's Song, stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Three Chimneys in Midway, Ky., where he was most recently advertised for a fee of $15,000.

He is the sire of three crops of racing age, highlighted by Grade 1-placed Manny Wah, Grade 2-placed High Regard and Sweet Diane, and stakes winners Kim K, Great Sister Diane, and Cashcheckorcharge.

Will Take Charge is out of 2013 Broodmare of the Year Take Charge Lady, a multiple Grade 1-winning Dehere mare whose other runners of note include Grade 1 winner Take Charge Indy and winner Charming, who is herself the dal of champion Take Charge Brandi and Grade 1 winner Omaha Beach.

On his own accord, Will Take Charge won seven of 21 starts for earnings of $3,924,648. He earned the Eclipse Award for champion 3-year-old male in 2013 off a campaign that included scores in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Clark Handicap, the G2 Pennsylvania Derby and Rebel Stakes, and the non-graded Smarty Jones Stakes. He also finished second in that year's Breeders' Cup Classic.

Will Take Charge came back at four to win the G2 Oaklawn Handicap, and finish in the money in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap, Stephen Foster Handicap, Donn Handicap, and Whitney Stakes.

A&A Ranch To Offer New Mexico-Bred Yearling Consignment Directly Off Farm

Fred Alexander of A&A Ranch in Anthony, N.M. announced today that due to COVID-19 restrictions and the relocation of the Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale to Oklahoma, he is offering his consignment of yearlings for purchase directly from the farm.

All yearlings are currently under sales prep at the farm. More information will be available soon on the A&A Ranch website: www.aaranch.org

After selling the $82,000 sale topper at Ruidoso in 2019, Alexander said, “it was not an easy decision to stay in New Mexico and sell from our home base, but at the end of the day I felt we needed to do what was best for our staff and the horses.”

Alexander continued, “we have another highly promising group for 2020 and feel they will do very well racing in New Mexico.”
