Top breeders in Uruguay have formed a partnership to buy Kentucky Derby winner Orb, who will begin his career there with the upcoming Southern Hemisphere breeding season.

The son of Malibu Moon was standing for a private fee this Northern Hemisphere season. He covered just seven mares in 2020 at Claiborne, according to The Jockey Club’s Report of Mares Bred, after covering 28 in 2019 and 70 in 2018.
