“He was getting overlooked, and some of the partners felt the move to New York would maximize his income potential with New York stallion awards,” says Rockridge Stud's Lere Visagie. “The partners who are staying in are planning to buy mares to give him a strong start.”

The sire of six stakes horses in 2022, including stakes-winners Carpenters Call–who also established a new track record in the Peach Street S.—and I Can Run, Tourist will stand for a fee of $3,500 in 2023. His 2-year-old colt Mo Tourist was most recently third in the GIII Grey S. at Woodbine last Saturday, and Tourist is also the sire of GISP Tango Tango Tango. This is the female family of dual Japanese champion Hishi Akebono (Woodman) and MG1SW, Japanese multimillionaire turned globetrotting sire Agnes World (Danzig) and GISP Unbridled Express (Unbridled's Song).
