Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Winner Outstrip To Stand In Brazil

Outstrip, the winner of the 2013 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf, has been purchased by a group of 29 Brazilian breeders to stand in that country, the South American publication Turf Diario reports.

The 10-year-old son Exceed and Excel had previously stood his entire career at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud in England, where his first foals are 4-year-olds of 2021.

Outstrip has sired 41 winners from three crops of racing age, with progeny earnings of $1,413,960.

His leading runners include Outburst, the winner of last year's Grade 3 Florida Oaks, French Group 2 winner Gold Trip, Greek Derby winner Gunmetal Jack, and Swiss champion Justin.

During his own on-track career, Outstrip won three of 11 starts for earnings of $826,800. He made his mark early as a 2-year-old, winning a Group 2 in England before traveling stateside to win the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita Park in what would be his only U.S. start.

Outstrip raced for two more seasons, one in the U.K. and the other in the UAE, with his best effort being a third in the G1 St. James's Palace Stakes during the Royal Ascot meet.

The British-born Outstrip is out of the Grade 1-winning El Prado mare Asi Siempre.

Sky Kingdom, a multiple Grade 3 winner and veteran stallion, has been sold and will stand the upcoming breeding season at Maro Veterinary Services in Youngstown, Ohio, BloodHorse reports.

The 12-year-old son of Empire Maker previously stood at Darby Dan Farm in Lexington, Ky. He was purchased by Ohio-based Gigi Chiandussi in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Jamie LaMonica, and he will stand for an advertised fee of $2,000.

Sky Kingdom has sired three crops of racing age, with 24 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $1.2 million. He's perhaps best known as the sire of Wrecking Crew, a multiple Grade 1-placed runner who finished third in the 2019 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita Park.

Other runners of note by Sky Kingdom include multiple stakes winner Australasia and stakes-placed runners Dunniverse and Mayan Sky.

Sky Kingdom won six of 21 starts during his on-track career for earnings of $532,122. He won two editions of the Grade 3 Tokyo City Cup Stakes, and his graded stakes placings included the G1 Hollywood Gold Cup and two editions of the G3 Cougar II Handicap.

Flashback, Dortmund Sold To Stand In Korea

The Korean stallion ranks will gain a pair of notable members from America's Mid-Atlantic region in 2021, with the recent import of Flashback and Dortmund.

According to records kept by the Korea Racing Authority, the stallions arrived in the country on Jan. 19.

Flashback, an 11-year-old son of Tapit, previously stood at Diamond B Farms in Pennsylvania after beginning his stud career at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Kentucky.

He is best known as the sire of British Idiom, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2019, who secured the Eclipse Award off a campaign that included victories in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies and Grade 1 Alcibiades Stakes.

Flashback has sired four crops of racing age, with 88 winners and combined progeny earnings of more than $5.4 million. Beyond British Idiom, his most successful runners include Grade 1-placed Boujie Girl, Grade 3-placed Tripwire, and stakes winner Richiesgotgame.

Flashback won two of seven starts during his racing career, earning $405,730 highlighted by a victory in the G2 Robert B. Lewis Stakes. His three additional graded stakes placings include a runner-up effort in the G1 Santa Anita Derby.

Bred in Kentucky by William Andrade M.D. and Michael Hernon, Flashback is out of the Mr. Greeley mare Rhumb Line, making him a full-brother to Grade 1 winner Zazu.

Dortmund, a 9-year-old son of Big Brown previously stood at Bonita Farm in Maryland, where he entered stud in 2018. His first foals will be 2-year-olds of 2021.

One of the top runners of his crop, Dortmund won eight of 16 starts for earnings of $1,987,505. He entered the 2015 Kentucky Derby unbeaten in his first six starts, which included the G1 Santa Anita Derby and Los Alamitos Futurity, the G2 San Felipe Stakes, and the G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes.

Dortmund left the gate in the Kentucky Derby as the betting public's second choice, and he finished third behind eventual winner American Pharoah. He then finished fourth behind the eventual Triple Crown winner in the Preakness Stakes before getting some time off for the rest of the summer. The colt finished the seasons with wins in the non-graded Big Bear Stakes and the G3 Native Diver Stakes.

Dortmund was never able to capture the same spark in later campaigns, though he hit the board in three graded stakes at age four, including the G1 Pacific Classic and Awesome Again Stakes, before finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita Park.

Bred in Kentucky by Emilie Fojan, Dortmund is out of the stakes-winning Tale of the Cat mare Our Josephina.

Flashback and Dortmund will join multiple Grade 2 winner Race Day, also a son of Tapit, among Korea's incoming stallions of 2021 with prior experience standing in the U.S. Race Day arrived in the country in December.

Surf Cat Moves To Rancho San Miguel In California

Veteran stallion Surf Cat, a multiple Grade 2-winning millionaire and the sire of 2017 California Horse of the Year Sircat Sally, will stand at Rancho San Miguel in San Miguel, Calif. during the 2021 breeding season. His fee is $2,500, live foal guarantee.

The 19-year-old son of Storm Cat's multiple graded stakes winner Sir Cat has stood exclusively in California since his retirement from racing in 2009 — originally at historic Old English Rancho and most recently at a small, private farm near Chowchilla.

From nine crops of racing age, Surf Cat has sired 57 winners from 84 starters to date, with lifetime progeny earnings of $4,046,140 and average earnings per starter of $48,168. His five black type runners are led by Sircat Sally, a $552,860-earner who won three graded turf stakes at Santa Anita Park and California-bred Horse of the Year honors from the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association in 2017. He is also represented by the dual Grade 3 winner San Onofre ($402,730).

Conditioned by the late trainer Bruce Headley, Surf Cat won six Grade 2 races from 6 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles from 2005 through 2008: the Swaps Breeders' Cup Stakes and two editions of the Mervyn LeRoy Handicap at Hollywood Park and the Potrero Grande Breeders' Cup Handicap and two runnings of the San Carlos Handicap at Santa Anita. He also ran second by a head in Hollywood's 2007 G1 Triple Bend Invitational Handicap en route to earning $1,045,420 from his 23 career starts.

“I am thrilled to have Surf Cat back; he was one of my favorite racehorses,” said owner Marsha Naify, who campaigned Surf Cat with Headley's wife, Aase. “Bruce did such a wonderful job training him. He has never been promoted very heavily as a stallion, but he has had some good runners, and I want to make the most of his remaining breeding years.”

Produced by the five-time winner Trust Greta, a multiple graded stakes-producing daughter of the Mr. Prospector stallion Centrust, Surf Cat hails from the family of leading sire Broad Brush.

“We are thrilled to have Surf Cat come to Rancho San Miguel,” said farm owner/manager Tom Clark. “He has an amazingly strong produce record from his small crops to date. We look forward to working with Marsha to help Surf Cat reach his full potential as a sire.”

Surf Cat joins a 2021 Rancho San Miguel stallion roster that features Curlin to Mischief, Danzing Candy, Heartwood, Northern Causeway, Richard's Kid, Sir Prancealot (Ire), Slew's Tiznow and Tom's Tribute. Inspections of all stallions at the central California farm are available by appointment.
