Harness: Lawless Shadow will stand at Winbak Farm of Canada in 2024

Winbak Farm of Canada is adding Lawless Shadow, p, 2, 1:52 1/5s; 3, 1:48 2/5f ($985,799) to its stallion roster in 2024.

“Lawless Shadow is the type of stallion that Winbak Farm loves to support,” said Joe Thomson, Winbak Farm Owner. “He has a strong pedigree, had an outstanding race career and is a fantastic looking individual.”

Lawless Shadow is held in high regard by his award-winning trainer Dr. Ian Moore, as well.

“We have trained Lawless Shadow from the time he was a yearling. He is a big, strong and powerful good-looking animal,” said Moore. “He has a terrific attitude in the barn, on the track and wherever he is.”

At 2, Lawless Shadow earned $307,624 and his victories included the Nassagaweya Stakes in 1:52 2/5, an Ontario Sire Stakes Gold leg in 1:52 1/5 and Ontario Grassroots leg. He was second in the Metro Pace elimination (third in Final), Ontario Sire Stakes Gold leg and Ontario Sire Stakes Super Final.

“Lawless Shadow’s crop was very strong and included both Bulldog Hanover and Desperate Man, who he raced against and beat,” said Pat Woods, Winbak Farm of Canada Manager. “Lawless Shadow was impressive from his first-ever lifetime start, winning a division of the Grassroots in 1:53, last quarter in 26 4/5 against Bulldog Hanover.”

“Lawless Shadow has been one of my favorites from the beginning,” said Moore. “He was an O’Brien Award Winner at 2 and has always been good-gaited and has not needed to wear any boots.”

Lawless Shadow is the richest son of stakes-winner Ladycino, p, 3, 1:54 2/5s; 1:52 1/5s ($488,477). She is the dam of four Winners of $100,000 and a daughter of the prolific Bettor’s Delight.

“Winbak Farm has strong connections to both Shadow Play and Bettor’s Delight,” said Jack Burke, Winbak Farm General Manager. “We are excited to offer a fast and great-looking stallion who combines the best traits of both stallions.”

At 3, Lawless Shadow earned $570,506. He won the $300,000 Max C Hempt Memorial Final in 1:48 2/5 against Perfect Sting, Hellabalou and Southwind Gendry. He was second-placed-first in the $700,000 Meadowlands Pace Final and was also second in his Meadowlands Pace elimination and Ontario Sire Stakes Gold leg.

The experienced Winbak Farm team is available to help with hypothetical matings if needed.

“I believe that Lawless Shadow will cross well with Somebeachsomewhere-line mares,” said Moore. “When looking for a commercial stallion, I want one who beat good horses, who was top class and had a strong powerful desire to win – Lawless Shadow has all these traits and loved doing it all. He was very special.”

Lawless Shadow will stand for $4,500 CAD. Please visit www.winbakfarm.com for more information. Contact Winbak Farm of Canada via phone at 905.838.2145 or email canada@winbakfarm.com for booking information.
