MULTIPLE GRADE 1 WINNER HEART TO HEART RETIRES TO CRESTWOOD FARM

Category : HEART TO HEART , News , Stallions

Heart to Heart, a multiple Grade 1 winner and 11-time graded stakes winner by English Channel, will take up his new career as a stallion at Pope McLean’s Crestwood Farm for the upcoming breeding season. He will stand his first year at stud for $5,000 live foal and is in the “Share the Upside” program.

“Heart to Heart is the racehorse we should all aspire to breed and race,” said Crestwood Farm’s Robert Keck. “He was precocious, fast, versatile, and sound. He had miler-speed, an amazing pedigree, and is a flawless physical. He has everything to be a top sire of fast and sound runners.”

Among the most consistent and sound performers in recent history, Heart to Heart registered an amazing 18 triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures. From 2014 through 2018, he captured 11 graded stakes events at six different racetracks, earning $2,035,090. He was named Sovereign Award champion 3-year-old male in his native Canada in 2014.

He recorded the biggest wins of his career in 2018, scoring back-to-back Grade 1 victories in the Maker’s Mark 46 Mile Stakes at Keeneland and the 1 1/8-mile Gulfstream Park Turf Stakes at Gulfstream Park, both in wire-to-wire fashion. He just missed a third straight Grade 1 win in the Shoemaker Mile on the west coast.

Heart to Heart was not only durable but precocious and versatile. As a 2-year-old he won first time out at 5 1/2 furlongs, romping by 8 1/4 lengths at Arlington Park. He would win races from 5 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles, winning 15 of his 41 career starts and is retiring sound. He was trained by Brian Lynch.

By champion English Channel, an elite sire of nine Grade 1 winners, six champions, and five millionaires, Heart to Heart is produced from the winning Silver Deputy mare Ask the Question and hails from the female family of Grade 1 winner Chart the Stars.

Bred by Red Hawk Ranch and owned by Terry Hamilton, Heart to Heart will stand at Crestwood Farm, where he joins the roster with Firing Line, Get Stormy, Jack Milton, and Texas Red.

CRESTWOOD UNVEILS “BREED RISK FREE” PROGRAM!

Category : Farm News , News , Stallions

From BloodHorse.com 3/1/18 –

Pope McLean’s Crestwood Farm is introducing a new breeders’ incentive plan that offers a different spin on plans allowing breeding fees to be paid out of sale proceeds.

Called “Breed Risk Free,” the Crestwood plan allows a breeder to waive the entire cost of a breeding fee if the resulting foal does not meet certain thresholds at auction. In the case of a foal offered as a yearling, a breeder would only pay the breeding fee if the foal brings a fall-of-hammer price of $20,000 plus the contact breeding fee or more. For example, if a mare was bred on a $5,000 fee, then the breeder would pay the breeding fee if the fall-of-the hammer price is $25,000 or more. If the final price is less, then the breeding fee is waived.

“This unique program is straightforward and offers an extremely robust incentive to breeders,” said Robert Keck with Crestwood Farm, located in Lexington, Ky. “We’ve had an enthusiastic initial response and look forward to discussing the program in more detail with breeders.”

“Breed Risk Free” will be available to approved mares.

Crestwood has six stallions on its roster for the 2019 season: Get Stormy , a co-fifth-ranked third-crop sire of 2018 by number of black-type winners; first-year sire The Player ; second-year sire Tu Brutus ; third-year sires Firing Line  and Texas Red ; and freshman sire Jack Milton .
