The Jockey Club has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit that challenges the organization’s decision to impose a cap on the number of mares a stallion can cover, calling the suit a “hodgepodge of speculative claims.”
The response to the suit cites more than 50 decisions by courts to dismiss lawsuits under similar grounds, including cases in which the plaintiffs did not have plausible grounds to argue for an injury, the main thrust of the response. The initial lawsuit was filed last month by three high-profile Central Kentucky breeding farms.

Performer, a multiple Grade 3 stakes winner, has been retired from racing, his connections said this week.
Walker Hancock, president of Claiborne Farm, which co-owned Performer with the Phipps Stable, said Performer came out of a third-place finish in the Gulfstream Park Mile on Feb. 27 with an ankle injury, similar to the injury that sidelined him for a good part of 2020.
“We always put the horse first, there was no sense of risking further injury,” Hancock said. “We thought he was going to have a big year but we had to pull the plug prematurely.”
Grade 1 winner Unbridled Forever died earlier this month, following foaling complications after delivering a surviving colt by Medaglia d'Oro on March 15.
Unbridled Forever, a 10-year-old daughter of Unbridled's Song, was a homebred runner and broodmare for Charles Fipke, who has experienced a recent run of bad luck with his star-studded broodmare band at his CF Farm in Paris, Ky., this foaling season. Lemons Forever, the dam of Unbridled Forever, also delivered a Medaglia d'Oro foal this month who died later in the day.
