Multiple graded stakes winner Unified has been retired and will begin his stud career at Lane's End in 2018, the farm announced Thursday. The son of Candy Ride, a prominent stallion at Lane's End, will debut for an advertised fee of $10,000. Unified, trained by Jimmy Jerkens for Centennial Farms, won the first three starts of his career, graduating to graded company in just his second start to win the Grade 3 Bay Shore Stakes at seven furlongs and subsequently taking the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes at 1 1/8 miles. “It’s rare that a horse with that kind of speed can carry it and win the traditional prep for the Belmont Stakes in one of the fastest times ever,” Jerkens said in a release. “It’s those types that make great sires.” A fifth-place finish in the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes ended Unified's 3-year-old season. He returned from an eight-month layoff to win the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint by a neck over Mind Your Biscuits, then finished second by a neck to Green Gratto in the Grade 1 Carter Handicap. He finished seventh in the Grade 2 Belmont Sprint Championship in his final start. Out of the stakes-placed Dixie Union mare Union City, Unified is a half-brother to stakes-placed Honkeytonk Man. Union City is a full sister to Grade 2 winner Dixie City, and this is the extended family of juvenile champion and prominent sire Dehere.
