Harness: Lather Up to stand in Ohio, not New York

Lather Up’s ownership announced today the decision to stand their two-time world champion in Ohio instead of New York.

“When we saw the overwhelming reception on the part of Ohio breeders, coupled with that of top breeders from other states who appreciate the convenience of shipped semen, Adam and I thought it best to stand the horse in Ohio. He will be standing at Sugar Valley Farm as a Diamond Creek / Taylor Made Stallion,” said Taylor Made’s Duncan Taylor.

“We could not be more excited about the addition of Lather Up, the co-fastest horse on the planet, to our stellar roster. With Ohio re-establishing itself as a top state in the industry with a top notch stakes program and opportunities galore, it became more apparent to us at Sugar Valley to continue the full court press to bring Lather Up back to Ohio," commented Sugar Valley's Joe McLead, "Our industry has the appeal of the most prolific Thoroughbred operation, in Duncan Taylor & Taylor Made Farm, wanting to be a part of Ohio's program. It is quite humbling to be working alongside of them, standing the fastest pacer in Lather Up and a champion trotter in What The Hill. Working with Adam Bowden and Diamond Creek Farm while standing Downbytheseaside has been tremendous."

All inquiries regarding season or share purchases should be directed to Diamond Creek Farm.
