Timeline, a multiple Grade 3 winner, has been retired from racing, and will enter stud in 2021 at Iowa State University Horse Farm in Ames, Iowa, BloodHorse reports.

The 6-year-old son of Hard Spun was recently purchased privately by Kansas-based attorney and owner/breeder Art Neuhedel after finishing his career running for owner Clark Brewster and trainer Steve Asmussen. Brewster purchased Timeline as a racing-age offering for $75,000 at last year's Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.

Timeline spent the majority of his on-track career running for Woodford Racing, He won his first four career starts, including victories in the Grade 3 Peter Pan Stakes and Pegasus Stakes. At four, he finished in the money in the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap and the non-graded State Dinner Stakes.

In total, Timeline retired with five wins in 17 starts for earnings of $432,217.

Bred in Kentucky by Alexander Groves Matz LLC, Timeline is out of the unplaced Empire Maker mare Azorina. His second dam is the Grade 1 winner Aldiza, and his fourth dam is the 1983 Broodmare of the Year Courtly Dee.

Timeline will debut at stud next year for an advertised fee of $1,500.

Mike Cline, the only farm manager Lane's End has ever known, retires after a 40 year career at the storied nursery.

“It would be hard to overstate Mike's importance to Lane's End and everything that has happened here since the farms inception,” said Will Farish, “I hired Mike back in 1979 and he has overseen everything from the broodmares, to stallions, to sales, to barn construction, to pasture maintenance.”

Mike has mentored many successful people in the industry. Callan Strouss at Oak Tree, Chris Baker at Three Chimneys, Eddie Kane at Calumet, Charles Campbell at Indian Creek Farm, Cooper Sawyer at Mt. Brilliant and Donna Vowles at Kiltinan Castle Stud just to name a few.

“Will Farish provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime and it has truly been an honor to work for him and with him over these many years,” Cline said. “Will's vision for Lane's End was incredible and it has been a privilege to help him implement that vision. I have had the opportunity to meet presidents, the Queen and many fascinating people, not to mention manage some of the greatest Thoroughbreds in history: A.P. Indy, Smart Strike, Kingmambo, Zenyatta, Miesque, All Along, Weekend Surprise, and so many others.

“I plan on continuing to stay involved with the farm and it's many clients in more of an advisory role,” Cline continued. “Lane's End's continued success will always be important to me.”
