IEAH Stables has sold its interest in its 2008 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Big Brown to a group of current investors in the stallion, including Three Chimneys Farm. Three Chimneys, in Midway, Ky., has stood the 8-year-old Boundary horse since his first season at stud in 2009.  The Stallion Company brokered the private deal.

Champion Blind Luck delivered her first foal, a filly by Darley sire Bernardini, on Jan. 19 at Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Lexington, Ky.

Blind Luck, a 6-year-old Pollard's Vision mare, won 10 graded stakes races during her career, including Grade 1 triumphs in the Kentucky Oaks, Alabama Stakes, Oak Leaf Stakes, Hollywood Starlet Stakes, Las Virgenes Stakes, and Vanity Handicap.

Court Vision's first foal was born on Jan. 20 in Ontario

Breeders' Cup Mile winner and young stallion Court Vision was represented by his first foal on Jan. 20, a filly born at Hill 'n' Dale Farm in Aurora, Ontario, Canada.

Multiple Grade 3 winner Mad Flatter will stand his inaugural season at Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, Pa. for an advertised fee of $2,500 live foal.

The 8-year-old Flatter horse was retired in September after a five-year racing career that included eight wins in 28 starts for earnings of $354,843. He won back-to-back editions of the Grade 3 Spend A Buck Handicap at Calder in 2010 and 2011 and placed in two other Grade 3 races.

Versatile Grade 2 winner Dominus has been retired to B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky.

The 5-year-old Smart Strike horse will stand for the 2013 season for a fee of $6,500 when the foal stands and nurses. He will participate in Spendthrift's popular "Share The Upside" program for a fee of $10,000 live foal, with breeders who breed one mare in both 2013 and 2014 earning a lifetime breeding right after the second stud fee is paid.

Grade 1 winner K One King has been purchased by Gunpowder Farms LLC and will be relocated to stand at Margaux Farm in Midway, Ky., for an advertised fee of $3,500 when the foal stands and nurses.

The 17-year-old Apalachee horse previously stood at Louisiana Stallion Station in Carencro, La.

K One King, who began his stud career at Gainesway in Lexington, Ky., has sired 10 crops of racing age, led by stakes winners Broadway King, One Pretty Penny, Misty Michelle, and King of the Bayou. He also sired 2005 Queen’s Plate Stakes runner-up King of Jazz.

The Jockey Club Thoroughbred Incentive Program (T.I.P.) has approved more than 375 shows for its 2013 competition program, which will award more than $100,000 in prize money and other awards.

Central Kentucky horseman Henry White, who served as a farm manager, breeding adviser, and member of various Thoroughbred organizations during his long and accomplished career, died on Jan. 20 at age 85 of heart failure.

If money truly talks, what could it tell us about Royal Delta, a $3.7 million earner and $8.5 million auction purchase? It would probably say that she is the best racemare of her generation and the second-hottest broodmare prospect in the history of Thoroughbred breeding (behind only $9-million dual champion Ashado). But we knew that anyway.

I’ll Have Another’s rapid rise to national prominence last spring elevated the profile of his young sire, 2005 Travers Stakes winner Flower Alley, just as Three Chimneys Farm was dealing with the loss of their signature stallion Dynaformer, who passed away several days before the Kentucky Derby.
