Cutting Humor, a Grade 3 winner who ran in last year's Kentucky Derby, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at McDowell Farm in Sparkman, Ark., BloodHorse reports.
The 4-year-old son of First Samurai's stud career will be handled by a group of breeders organized by bloodstock agent Jay Goodwin. An advertised fee will be announced at a later time.
Cutting Humor won two of nine starts during his on-track career for earnings of $525,467, running for owner Starlight Racing and trainer Todd Pletcher. He broke his maiden going a mile at Gulfstream Park West in his juvenile season finale, then established his presence on the Triple Crown trail with a gutsy victory by a neck in the G3 Sunland Park Derby.
The win gave Cutting Humor ample points to qualify for the 2019 Kentucky Derby, where he ran 10th.
Bred in Kentucky by Dell Hancock and Bernie Sams, Cutting Humor is out of the unraced Pulpit mare Pun, whose runners also include Grade 2-placed stakes winner Irish You Well. Pun is herself a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Zensational.
