Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky., will offer the services of its stallions remaining in the U.S. for the summer and fall for matings on the Southern Hemisphere season's schedule.

Top commercial sire Uncle Mo leads the way with a Southern Hemisphere season fee of $30,000. The 12-year-old son of Indian Charlie has seen his greatest Southern Hemisphere success in Australia, where his runners are led by Man From Uncle, winner of the Group 2 Hobartville Stakes and G3 Eskimo Prince Stakes.

Munnings, a 14-year-old Speightstown horse, will stand for $15,000. His top runner south of the Equator was Argentine-born Rock and Fellers, who was a group stakes-level competitor in his native country before being moved to race in the U.S.

Veteran sire Lookin at Lucky is advertised at $10,000. The 13-year-old son of Smart Strike has shuttled in the past to Australia and Chile, and he's proven especially effective in the latter country, finishing 2017 as the country's leading sire.

Agreement To Stand Invasor In Uruguay Extended Through 2021

Invasor, North America's 2006 Horse of the Year, will remain in Uruguay for at least two more Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons after an agreement was reached between owner Shadwell Farm and Haras Cuatro Piedras, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The initial agreement called for the 18-year-old son of Candy Stripes to stand at the Uruguayan farm for three seasons from 2015 to 2017, and the deal was renewed for another three seasons through 2020. As the final year approached on the second deal, the two sides agreed to keep him there for one additional season, bringing the total to seven.

When the deal is fully terminated at the end of 2021, Turf Diario reports that Invasor will return to Shadwell's Kentucky base, likely to be pensioned from stud duty.

Invasor was born in Argentina, but was sent to Uruguay as a 2-year-old to begin his racing career. He was a force in his new home, taking down Uruguay's Triple Crown and being named Horse of the Year in both Uruguay and his native Argentina.

His performance caught the attention of Shadwell Farm, which purchased the colt ahead of his 4-year-old campaign. Once again, Invasor was dominant, taking home Horse of the Year honors in 2006 with an undefeated North American campaign of Grade 1 victories including the Breeders' Cup Classic, Pimlico Special Handicap, Suburban Handicap, and Whitney Handicap.

The wins continued during a brief 4-year-old campaign, which saw wins in the G1 Donn Handicap and an electric finale in the Dubai World Cup. Invasor retired with 11 wins in 12 starts for earnings of $7,804,070, and he was named to the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in 2013.

Invasor entered stud at Shadwell Farm for the 2008 breeding season, and he moved to Haras Cuatro Piedras in 2015. He covered 37 mares during last year's Southern Hemisphere season, which is above average for a Uruguayan stallion with U.S. ties.

After underwhelming at stud in North America, Invasor has carved out more success in Uruguay, siring Group 2 winner Mourinho and Group 3 winner Lamborghini. He currently sits 13th on Uruguay's general sire list for 2020.

Globetrotting Some In Tieme To Enter Stud In Uruguay

Some in Tieme, a champion in Brazil and Grade 3 winner in the U.S., will begin his stud career at Haras Los Apamates in Uruguay, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

An 8-year-old son of German-born stallion Shirocco, Brazilian-bred Some In Tieme is best known to U.S. audiences as the winner of the G3 Louisville Handicap at Churchill Downs in 2017. He spent three seasons racing in the American turf ranks, also picking up placings in two editions of the G3 John B. Connally Turf Cup Stakes at Sam Houston.

Prior to coming to the U.S., Some In Tieme was the champion 3-year-old male in his native Brazil, racking up wins in the Group 1 Gran Premio Linneo de Paula Machado and Gran Premio Latinoamericano.

Some in Tieme retired with four wins in 20 starts for earnings of $492,468.

Bred in Brazil by Haras Santa Maria de Araras, Some in Tieme is out of the Brazilian Group 2-winning Royal Academy mare Orma Giusta, who herself came to the U.S. to race after success in her native Brazil.

Some in Tieme will join shuttle stallion Will Take Charge and veteran New York stallion Honorable Dillon among Uruguay's incoming stallions with graded stakes wins in the U.S. for the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.

The Uruguayan racing and breeding program is heavily influenced by American dirt racing, meaning the country's most active stallions – both shuttlers and permanent residents – often raced in North America.

Mendelssohn Shuttling To Chile For Southern Hemisphere Breeding Season

Mendelssohn, the winner of the 2017 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, will stand the 2020 Southern Hemisphere breeding season at Haras Don Alberto in Chile, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 5-year-old son of Scat Daddy recently completed his second Northern Hemisphere season at Ashford Stud in Versailles, Ky., where he was advertised for a fee of $35,000. His first foals are weanlings of 2020.

Mendelssohn is out of 2016 Broodmare of the Year Leslie's Lady, making him a half-brother to champion Beholder, leading commercial sire Into Mischief, and three additional stakes-producing mares. He sold to the Coolmore operation for $3 million at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale.

The colt did a lot to make up that hefty ticket at two, finishing second in the Group 1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes in England before returning stateside to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar.

Mendelssohn came back at three to win the Patton Stakes in Ireland, then he ventured to Dubai, where he picked up convincing win in the G2 UAE Derby. The colt then came back to the U.S. to compete in the 2018 Kentucky Derby, and he'd spend the rest of his racing career competing in domestic stakes. He finished his sophomore season and his career with a second in the G1 Travers Stakes and thirds in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes and G3 Dwyer Stakes.

In total, Mendelssohn retired with four wins in 13 starts for earnings of $2,542,137.

Mendelssohn covered 252 mares during his first season at stud in 2019, tying fellow Ashford Stud resident and son of Scat Daddy Justify for the most in North America that season.
