Stellar Wind, the champion 3-year-old filly of 2015, has been exported to Ireland, where she will be bred to world-class sire Galileo during this year’s breeding season.
The news was initially reported Monday by the BloodHorse.
The upcoming Temecula Valley National Horse Show series in California will offer free entries for Thoroughbreds and young horses and will partner with Oakmont Ranch to offer classes for off-the-track Thoroughbreds at the shows.
Valid won two graded stakes at Gulfstream Park, and he returned there Saturday as Gulfstream recognized local aftercare efforts with Florida Thoroughbred Retirement and Adoptive Care Day. Florida TRAC rehabilitates and finds new owners and careers for retired racehorses.
Multiple graded stakes-winning New York-bred millionaire Lubash has arrived at Old Friends in Georgetown, Ky., where he will reside as a retiree.
The 11-year-old son of perennial New York leading sire Freud was retired last summer by owner and breeder Leonard Pivnick.
“He’s been absolutely great to all of us involved,” trainer Christophe Clement said at the time of the gelding’s retirement. Clement had handled Lubash since 2012.
Something tells me that WinStar Farm will be exercising its option to buy back Take Charge Indy. The son of A.P.

Hasili, one of the most successful broodmares of the modern era, has died at Juddmonte Farms’s Banstead Manor Stud at Newmarket, England. The daughter of Kahyasi was 27.
Hasili, who had been pensioned since 2012, produced 10 foals, with 8 of those making it to the races. Her seven winners were all graded or group stakes winners, led by five Grade 1 winners and three champions – Banks Hill, Intercontinental, and Champs Elysee. She was honored as England’s Broodmare of the Year in 2006.
Although modern genetics wags an admonitory finger, we persist in thinking in terms of sire lines and their defining characteristics.
