Freshman sire Mohaymen (Tapit–Justwhistledixie, by Dixie Union) will be the lone stallion standing at Shadwell Farm's Nashwan Stud near Lexington in 2022. Barnmates Tamarkuz (Speightstown–Without You Babe, by Lemon Drop Kid) and Qurbaan (Speightstown–Flip Flop {Fr}, by Zieten) will move to Louisiana and Indiana, respectively.

Among the 11 winners to date in his first crop are two black-type scorers, including GII Sorrento S. winner Elm Drive. Mohaymen will remain at a fee of $7,500, live foal.

Sophomore sire Tamarkuz, winner of the 2016 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, will move to Blue Ridge Farm in Opelousas, Louisiana. The top runner of his 17 winners is GSW Red Flag. He will stand for $5,000, live foal.

Qurbaan, whose first foals arrived this year, will stand for 2022 at Indiana Stallion Station in Anderson, Indiana. A multiple graded stakes winner who was also multiple GI-placed, Qurbaan will stand for $2,500.

Four 2018 Virginia Yearling Futurity Participants Share $5,000 In Bonus Awards

Congratulations to four Virginia-bred/certified horses that competed in the 2018 Yearling Futurity, who will share a $5,000 bonus pool based on career earnings they accumulated through their recently completed 3-year-old racing campaigns.

The top earners in bonus winning order were Patriotic Punch ($3,000), Appraised ($1,000), Lady Fox ($700) and Beach Traffic ($300).

Maryland-bred Patriotic Punch, bred by Charles Reed and Michael Zanella, bankrolled $125,969 from 17 career starts through Dec. 31. The Carpe Diem filly, out of Lori Z's Punch by Two Punch, reeled off three wins in a row during a five-week period in Maryland last year. She was best in maiden claimer and a pair of starter optional claiming races between Sept. 11 and Oct. 17. Overall, she has 10 top-three finishes. Patriotic Punch spent her Virginia residency at Karen Godsey's Eagle Point Farm in Ashland.

Virginia-bred Appraised also has recorded a trio of victories and ten top-three finishes. The Shanghai Bobby gelding, bred and raised at Morgan's Ford Farm in Front Royal, collected his wins in a series of claimers at Delaware Park over a nine-week period last year. Out of the Include mare, Looking Great, he has earned $70,067.

Lady Fox finished 2020 with $56,540 in earnings — third best from the '18 yearling class — and has kicked off 2021 with back-to-back wins. The Imagining filly, bred by Lady Olivia at North Cliff, LLC., had four runner-up finishes and a trio of thirds through 2020, good for $56,540. This year, she broke her maiden and prevailed in another claiming race, both at Laurel. The Maryland-bred, out of Lady Olivia by Silver Deputy, spent her residency at David Dobson's Lady Olivia at North Cliff Farm in Rixeyville.

Beach Traffic, reserve grand champion and winner of the “certified” class at the 2018 Futurity, has collected wins at both Gulfstream and Monmouth. The Maryland-bred gelding, by Cross Traffic, has bankrolled $53,365 to date. Out of Pink Sand by Sky Mesa, Beach Traffic was bred by Patricia Ramey and Maciej Szwarc and raised at the Hunt Ridge Stables at Ramey's Blue Ridge Farm in Upperville. He has hit the board in half of his 16 starts.
