Multiple graded stakes winner Timeline will begin his stud career next year at Iowa State University, joining a solid group of stallions and mares at the teaching program, which has developed into a prominent regional commercial program.

Timeline, by Hard Spun and from the female family of the great broodmare Courtly Dee, had his best season as a 3-year-old in 2017. He won the Grade 3 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont by 3 1/4 lengths, then took the Grade 3 Pegasus Stakes at Monmouth by the same margin.
