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.

Will Take Charge, a 10-year-old son of Unbridled's Song, stands the Northern Hemisphere season at Three Chimneys in Midway, Ky., where he was most recently advertised for a fee of $15,000.

He is the sire of three crops of racing age, highlighted by Grade 1-placed Manny Wah, Grade 2-placed High Regard and Sweet Diane, and stakes winners Kim K, Great Sister Diane, and Cashcheckorcharge.

Will Take Charge is out of 2013 Broodmare of the Year Take Charge Lady, a multiple Grade 1-winning Dehere mare whose other runners of note include Grade 1 winner Take Charge Indy and winner Charming, who is herself the dal of champion Take Charge Brandi and Grade 1 winner Omaha Beach.

On his own accord, Will Take Charge won seven of 21 starts for earnings of $3,924,648. He earned the Eclipse Award for champion 3-year-old male in 2013 off a campaign that included scores in the Grade 1 Travers Stakes and Clark Handicap, the G2 Pennsylvania Derby and Rebel Stakes, and the non-graded Smarty Jones Stakes. He also finished second in that year's Breeders' Cup Classic.

Will Take Charge came back at four to win the G2 Oaklawn Handicap, and finish in the money in the G1 Santa Anita Handicap, Stephen Foster Handicap, Donn Handicap, and Whitney Stakes.
