Wayne O won a maiden special weight on Saturday at Keeneland as the third choice in a large field of 12 2-year-olds, taking several new owners along for the ride as part of the MyRacehorse.com club investment. The nascent company seeks even greater heights in the coming weeks as it holds a stake in Breeders’ Cup contenders Street Band and Lazy Daisy.
Flameaway, a versatile multiple graded stakes winner, has been retired and will enter stud at Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky. The 4-year-old son of Scat Daddy will stand for $7,500.
An Ontario-bred trained throughout his career by Mark Casse for John Oxley, Flameaway retires with a record of 6-3-1 from 18 starts and earnings just shy of a million, at $911,634. After winning his debut on a synthetic track, he won a pair of off-the-turf stakes as a juvenile, taking the Grade 3 Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland and the Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga.
Breakout freshman sire Constitution will see his fee more than double to $40,000 for the 2020 season at WinStar Farm.
Constitution stood for $15,000 in 2019 at WinStar, which welcomes a pair of newcomers for next season in Audible and Yoshida, and welcomes home Take Charge Indy. The Kentucky farm’s roster is led by stalwart sires More Than Ready at $80,000, Speightstown at $70,000, and Distorted Humor at $50,000.
Classic-placed Grade 1 winner and young classic sire Bodemeister has been sold to continue his stud career in Turkey.
Yaris Magazine of Turkey first reported, on Oct. 2, that Bodemeister was to be added to The Jockey Club of Turkey's roster, pending administrative approval. Bodemeister was not listed on WinStar Farm's stallion roster and stud fees for 2020, which were released on Friday.
Dual-surface Grade 1 winner Catholic Boy has been retired from racing and will take up stallion duty next year at Claiborne Farm, which acquired his breeding rights earlier in the year. The son of More Than Ready will debut for a $25,000 fee.

St Patrick's Day, a Group 3-placed full brother to Triple Crown winner and leading freshman sire American Pharoah, has retired to Journeyman Stud in Ocala, Fla., for the 2020 season. He will stand as the property of a syndicate that includes Journeyman, Climax Stallions, and Stonehedge Farm.
Bourbon Courage and Imagining, who have held their own nationally in a tough freshman sire class, get their chance to shine locally with several first-crop runners on the Maryland Million program this Saturday at Laurel Park. The stallions are part of a young roster for Anchor and Hope Farm, which is continuing to build its stallion operation even while rebuilding from a destructive fire, which its two freshmen escaped, in August.
Just shy of a decade after his sire won the Empire Classic, one of the top prizes on the New York-bred circuit, Mr. Buff will try to land that $300,000 event. Meanwhile, his sire Friend Or Foe is fashioning an unconventional stallion career in a new adopted state.
