War Horse Place has secured the opportunity to stand GI Preakness S. hero Rombauer (Twirling Candy) for $6,000 LFSN, the breeding operation said in a release Wednesday.
Bred and campaigned by John and Diane Fradkin, Rombauer placed as a juvenile in the GI American Pharoah S. at Santa Anita before finishing third along the Derby Trail in the GII Toyota Blue Grass S. He then won the second leg of the Triple Crown at Old Hilltop before finishing third in the GI Belmont S.
Joining him will be French group stakes winner as a 2-year-old, MGSW Sacred Life (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}), who retired with 27 career starts. During that time, he was on the board in 19, including a pair of graded stakes wins. He will stand for $2,000 LFSN with concessions to black-type mares.
GISW Smooth like Strait (Midnight Lute) will also join the stallion roster. He retired with five graded stakes wins and an additional 10 graded placed finishes. His career earnings total $1,813,863 and he will stand for $3,500 LFSN.
Owner and director of farm operations Dana Aschinger McCreary said, “We are excited to offer central Kentucky breeders' access to stallions who performed consistently at the highest levels of the sport.”
War Horse Place will host an open house Nov. 11 and 12 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET.
