Grade 2 winner Rookie Sensation has been retired from racing and will make his debut at stud at Frank Stronach’s Adena Springs North in Aurora, Ontario for an advertised fee of $4,422 ($5,000 Canadian) in 2015.
The 4-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song finished his career with three wins in 10 starts for earnings of $232,900. His resume is highlighted by a victory in the Grade 2 Twilight Derby and a third in the Grade 3 Last Tycoon Stakes, both at Santa Anita.
Bred in Kentucky by Adena Springs and campaigned by that outfit, Rookie Sensation was trained by John Shirreffs.
