Weekend Hideaway, a winner of stakes races in seven consecutive years, will begin his stallion career in his home state of New York, at Irish Hills & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC in Saratoga Springs.

Multiple Grade 1 winner Bolt d'Oro has been retired and has settled in at Spendthrift Farm, where he will begin his stud career in February.  

Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Accelerate will debut for a stud fee of $20,000 at Lane’s End Farm in 2019, the farm has announced.

Multiple Group 2 winner Daddy Long Legs has been purchased by a partnership to stand at Taylor Made Stallions in 2019, becoming the most recent son of the late Scat Daddy to stand in Kentucky.

Dual classic winner and champion I'll Have Another, who has spent his entire stud career to this point in Japan, will relocate to stand at Ballena Vista Farm in California for the 2019 season, a major coup of the regional program.

"I truly consider bringing champion I’ll Have Another back to the States as one of the most satisfying and one of the best things I've ever done in the Thoroughbred industry," Ballena Vista owner Donald Cohn said. "He is a magnificent specimen and a true champion racehorse, the likes of what we in California have never had the opportunity to stand."

America has always prided itself on being the land of opportunity, the country where by sheer merit and hard work one can achieve wealth or power - or both. The results of this year’s Breeders’ Cup meeting, though, reflect a different kind of opportunity.

Cross Traffic already recorded a major accomplishment for a freshman sire, with a Grade 1 winner in his first crop in Frizette Stakes heroine Jaywalk. The Spendthrift Farm resident now goes for an even higher bar, as Jaywalk contests the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

Quality Road had a career year in 2017 as the sire of two Eclipse Award champions – Abel Tasman, who won the Kentucky Oaks and finished second in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, and Caledonia Road, who won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. His momentum has continued this year, and he could have an even more stellar showing at this Breeders’ Cup.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Thoroughbred industry professionals from Kentucky, California, Delaware, and Pennsylvania were honored as the Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards were presented Wednesday afternoon at Churchill Downs.

Grade 1 winner Collected will stand at Airdrie Stud in Midway, Ky., in 2019, the farm announced Monday evening.

Collected, by the late City Zip, has been entered for Saturday's Breeders' Cup Classic, but is currently the first also-eligible for the race, in which he finished second last year. A stud fee for the 5-year-old will be announced at the time of his retirement.
