Sky Kingdom, a multiple Grade 3 winner and veteran stallion, has been sold and will stand the upcoming breeding season at Maro Veterinary Services in Youngstown, Ohio, BloodHorse reports.
The 12-year-old son of Empire Maker previously stood at Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, Ky. He was purchased by Ohio-based Gigi Chiandussi in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Jamie LaMonica, and he will stand for an advertised fee of $2,000.
Sky Kingdom has sired three crops of racing age, with 24 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $1.2 million. He's perhaps best known as the sire of Wrecking Crew, a multiple Grade 1-placed runner who finished third in the 2019 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita Park.
Other runners of note by Sky Kingdom include multiple stakes winner Australasia and stakes-placed runners Dunniverse and Mayan Sky.
Sky Kingdom won six of 21 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $532,122. He won two editions of the Grade 3 Tokyo City Cup Stakes, and his graded stakes placings included the G1 Hollywood Gold Cup and two editions of the G3 Cougar II Handicap.
