Slumber to Stand at Rockridge Stud

Slumber (GB) (Cacique {Ire}–Sound Asleep, by Woodman), the sire of the stakes-winning Fluffy Socks from his first crop, will join the roster at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, NY, for the 2021 breeding season.

“We are honored to have Slumber join us at Rockridge,” said owner and operator Lere Visagie. “This horse already has a stakes winner with a very modest first crop, and that kind of stallion can really be useful in New York.”

By a full-brother to the likes of Dansili (GB) and Champs Elysees (GB), Slumber was a listed winner and placed three times at Group 3 level in Europe. He scored his biggest victory in this country when defeating Big Blue Kitten (Kitten’s Joy) in the 2015 GI Manhattan S. He was also placed in the GI United Nations S. at 11 furlongs and in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic going a mile and a half ahead of a close fourth in the

GI Breeders’ Cup Turf.

Produced by an unraced daughter of GISW Sleep Easy (Seattle Slew), Slumber hails from the Juddmonte female family of MGISW and multiple Classic-placed Aptitude (A.P. Indy).

Frank Conversation Shuttling To Chile For Southern Hemisphere Season

Frank Conversation, a multiple graded stakes-winning son of Quality Road (out of Rushen Heat by Unusual Heat), will shuttle to Haras Santa Sara in Santiago, Chile for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.

Frank Conversation just completed his second year at stud at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y.

“We're thrilled with the quality of his first crop of foals, and would love to see international success for the horse,” says Rockridge Stud's Lere Visagie. “An opportunity to shuttle just seemed like a no-brainer.”

The deal was brokered by Bowling Bloodstock and Sullivan Bloodstock.

“We've had great success in the past with Santa Sara, most recently having sent Goldencents there,” says Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock. “They take very good care of the horses and we think Frank will be well-received there.”
