Winner of last fall's Grade 2 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint and a candidate for this year's $1 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, Golden Pal drilled five furlongs in 1:00.80 with splits of :24.20, :37.20, :49, and 1:00.80. (Click here for a video of the work.)

Other Ward workers were Hat Creek Racing's Averly Jane, winner of the Indian Summer Presented by Keeneland Select, and Gregory Kaufman's Kaufymaker, second in the Indian Summer. Working together for possible starts in the $1 million Juvenile Turf Sprint, the undefeated Averly Jane covered five furlongs in 1:03.40 and Kaufymaker went the distance in 1:03.80.

MGISW Raging Bull to Gainesway in 2022

Multiple Grade I winner Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}–Rosa Bonheur, by Mr. Greeley) will stand the 2022 season at Gainesway Farm following his retirement from racing. The winner of this season's GI Maker's Mark Mile is expected to make his final start in the GI Breeders' Cup Mile. Raging Bull will enter stud in 2022 with an advertised fee of $10,000 LFSN.

“Raging Bull is a knockout physically,” said Gainesway General Manager Brian Graves. “His six triple digit Beyer speed figures and his performances over 14 Grade I events are impressive. His sire, Dark Angel, has become one of the most influential sires in International racing.”

Included among his black-type victories at three, Raging Bull took the GII National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame S., GIII Saranac S. and Del Mar's GI Hollywood Derby. At four, he made five starts, all in Grade I company, placing in the GI Manhattan S., GII Fourstardave H. and GI Woodbine Mile. The Chad Brown trainee returned last season to capture the Shoemaker Mile in addition to placing in the Maker's Mark Mile and GI Shadwell Turf Mile S. at Keeneland.

“Raging Bull (FR) is the best-looking horse I have ever trained,” said Brown. “He has run fast numbers at many different tracks, winning Grade I's in three different years, the ultimate confirmation of incredible soundness.”

Bred by Dayton Investments Limited, he was campaigned by by Peter Brant. The French-bred accounted for seven wins from 21 lifetime starts, encompassing 18 consecutive starts in graded stakes company, and finishing in the top three in nine of 14 Grade I events.

“I am extremely bullish on his chances at stud. We are excited to be partnering with Gainesway on Raging Bull and will be supporting him strongly with our mares,” said Brant.

Raging Bull To Join Gainesway Stallion Roster In 2022

Gainesway Farm announced today they will stand multiple Grade 1 winner Raging Bull for the 2022 breeding season upon his retirement from racing. The son of Dark Angel, a perennial leading European sire of Sprinters and Milers, has earned over $1.6 million on the track and is pointed towards the Breeders' Cup Mile.

“Raging Bull is a knockout physically,” said Gainesway general manager Brian Graves. “His six triple digit Beyer speed figures and his performances over 14 Grade 1 events are impressive. His sire, Dark Angel, has become one of the most influential sires in international racing.”

A multiple Grade 1 winner, Raging Bull dominated the turf at three after winning his debut at Keeneland. From there, he scored victories in the Grade 2 National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes and G3 Saranac Stakes at Saratoga before capping his 3-year-old campaign with a determined victory in the G1 Hollywood Derby at Del Mar.

At four, he made five starts, all in Grade 1 company, where he placed in the G1 Manhattan Stakes, G1 Fourstardave Handicap and Woodbine Mile.

Raging Bull returned at five to capture the G1 Shoemaker Mile Stakes going away, while earning a 105 Beyer and stopping the clock in 1:32.73. He also placed in the G1 Maker's Mark Mile and G1 Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes at Keeneland.

This year, Raging Bull kicked off his season with a heroic victory in Keeneland's G1 Maker's Mark Mile Stakes posting a 106 Beyer in a final time of 1:33.86.

“Raging Bull is the best looking horse I have ever trained,” said trainer Chad Brown. “He has run fast numbers at many different tracks, winning Grade 1s in three different years, the ultimate confirmation of incredible soundness.”

Out of the Mr. Greeley mare Rosa Bonheur, Raging Bull was bred by Dayton Investments Limited and foaled in France.

Raced by Peter M. Brant, Raging Bull has seven wins in 21 lifetime starts, his career spans 18 consecutive starts in graded stakes company, and has won or placed in nine of 14 Grade 1 events.

“I am extremely 'bullish' on his chances at stud. We are excited to be partnering with Gainesway on Raging Bull and will be supporting him strongly with our mares,” said Brant.

Raging Bull will enter stud in 2022 with an advertised fee of $10,000 LFSN.
