After standing his first few seasons at WinStar in Kentucky, Tourist relocated to Rockridge in New York for the 2023 season.

“Tourist is the perfect blend of fire and nice,” said Maryke Roeloffze, Rockridge's stallion manager. “He knows just how handsome he is and loves to strut and prance, but bring out the peppermints–he turns to putty in your hands.”

Erin Robinson, Rockridge's stallion director, added, “I'm delighted to have Tourist in the barn, and think he is a wonderful addition to New York for those breeding to race.”

Tourist (2011 dark bay or brown horse, Tiznow–Unbridled Melody, by Unbridled's Song)
