Mr Freeze to Stand in Ohio

Multiple graded stakes winner Mr Freeze (To Honor and Serve–Heavenly Cat, by Tabasco Cat) has been retired to stud at Raimonde Farms Ltd. in Wooster, Ohio. Owned by Jim Bakke and Gerald Isbister and trained by Dale Romans, the 7-year-old chestnut retired with a 6-4-2 record in 19 starts, earning $1,595,600 over his career.

“He was a gifted horse with a great mind,” said Romans. “He ran with the best and we couldn't be happier about this opportunity.”

Mr. Freeze was a graded stakes winner at ages three, four and five, racking up four graded tallies overall to go with two Grade I placings. He retires to Ohio as a result of a deal brokered by Paul Devine of Devine Line Stables, an advocate for the Ohio Thoroughbred breeding industry.

“I was looking for a talented, durable runner with a tremendous female family. Mr. Freeze certainly fit those requirements,” said Devine. “Not only did Mr. Freeze win almost $1.6 million dollars on the track, but he is also a beautiful horse and I think Ohio breeders will be very pleased when they see him.”

New Ohio Stallions Represented by First Ohio Foals in ’21

Ohio-based stallions recruited from other states in 2020, including GI Breeders' Cup Classic winner Fort Larned (E Dubai) and Grade I winners Itsmyluckyday (Lawyer Ron) and Danza (Street Boss) (formerly standing in Kentucky) and Drill (formerly standing in Florida) were recently represented by their first Ohio-Accredited foals in 2021.

Fort Larned's first accredited-Ohio foal was a colt out of No Truer (Alcindor), who is a full-sister to True Cinder, a multiple stakes-winner in Ohio. The colt was bred by Michael & Penny Rone and was born at Duncan Farms, where Fort Larned stands in Warsaw, Ohio.

Drill's first accredited-Ohio foal was a filly out of Wild n Bratty (Offlee Wild), out of MSW Bucky's Brat. The filly was bred by South River Ranch Inc., a breeder who resides in Indiana and frequently participates in the Ohio program. Drill stands at Raimonde Farms in Wooster, Ohio.

Itsmyluckyday sired his first accredited-Ohio foals with a pair of colts born on the same day for different breeders. The first colt born–bred by Dr. Robert Maro-is out of Palsy Walsy (Lonhro), out of multiple graded stakes-winner Valbenny (Val Royal), who was trained by Bobby Frankel. The other colt–bred by Alvin Flick–is out of Crimson Kate (First Samurai), a daughter of the SW Red Lifesaver. Itsmyluckyday stands at Maro Veterinary Services in Lowellville, Ohio.

Danza was represented by his first accredited-Ohio foal with a colt out of Swinkey (Dialed In), bred by Dr. Daniel Yates and Patricia Yates. Swinkey is a half-sister to an Ohio stakes-winner Conniption Fit, who was bred and campaigned by Dr. Yates. Danza stands at Fair Winds Farm in Waynesville, Ohio.
