Stormy Atlantic (Storm Cat–Hail Atlantis, by Seattle Slew) has passed away from the infirmities of old age at 32. Retired from the track with 15 starts, six wins and earnings of over $148,000, Stormy Atlantic initially stood stud in Florida at Bridlewood Farm in 1999 where he would become Florida's champion freshman sire. His success in Florida ultimately gave him a chance in Kentucky and Stormy Atlantic joined the roster at John Sikura's Hill 'n' Dale in 2003 where he stood until pensioned at the age of 27 in 2021. All told, he sired 112 stakes winners and 48 individual graded stakes winners led by the likes of MGISW Get Stormy and 2018 Eclipse Champion Turf Male Stormy Liberal, one of seven champions Stormy Atlantic sired across the globe. “It is with sadness that we report that Stormy Atlantic passed away peacefully ironically on a stormy afternoon Monday due to the infirmities of the old age of 32,” said Bridlewood Farm's George Isaacs. “When I became General Manager of Bridlewood in 1996, Stormy Atlantic was a 2-year-old and I remember looking at his pedigree and telling myself if we can get lucky, this guy will leave his mark on the breed. With him being champion freshmen sire, over 100 stakes winners, and a successful broodmare sire, suffice to say he did. I set a goal that he would hopefully be leading freshmen sire here in Florida, and that would give me the momentum to hopefully move him to Kentucky to give him the opportunity that he deserved. Thankfully, John Sikura shared my vision and through his super management, Stormy elevated both of our operations and solidified an enduring friendship and respect for one another. I will be forever grateful to Stormy Atlantic for the important impact he made on the success of our operation for many years. As horsemen we all know, it's these special horses that take us to the heights we are shooting for! Stormy Atlantic has already been laid to rest in the Bridlewood Farm cemetery.” The post Pensioned Hill ‘n’ Dale Stallion Stormy Atlantic Dies At 32 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Group winner Luxor Café (American Pharoah) and two compatriots landed at Japan's Kansai International Airport on St Patrick's Day, Tospo Keiba reported on Tuesday. Originally slated to run in the G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan on March 28, the full-brother to dual G1 February Stakes hero Café Pharoah will instead look to targets closer to home, as the Iranian conflict continues. One of three horses to return to the Land of the Rising Sun on Tuesday morning, he was joined by Shin Forever (Complexity) and G2 UAE Derby hope Keiai Agito (Espoir City) on the Japan-bound flight. The multiple group-placed Shin Forever had been due to contest the G2 Godolphin Mile. The trio have entered re-entry quarantine just after midday at Miki Horseland Park. A fourth horse, G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen starter T O Elvis (Volatile) will not travel to Dubai trainer Daisuke Takayanagi told Net Keiba. He has re-routed to the Listed Tokyo Sprint (NAR-G3) at Oi on April 15. Japanese Foursome Leave For Dubai On Wednesday Dual G1 Saudi Cup hero Forever Young (Real Steel) will not be defending Japan's honour solo in less than two weeks. Despite the travel risk level set at Level 3 earlier this month by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, four horses will lift off for Dubai on Wednesday morning. G1 Dubai Turf entrant Gaia Force (Kitasan Black) worked uphill at the Ritto Training Centre covering four furlongs in :55.40 as of Tuesday. A dual Group 2 winner, he has placed in a trio of Group 1s in Japan, the most recent the Mile Championship behind Jantar Mantar (Palace Malice). G1 Sprinters Stakes hero Lugal (Duramente), preparing for the G1 Al Quoz Sprint, covered the same distance. The latter's trainer Harushi Sugiyama told Tospo Keiba, “In :55-:56 seconds. The clock will come out as usual.” Another horse set for Japan is listed winner Pyromancer (Pyro), who ran his four furlongs in :54.30 ahead of a start in the G2 UAE Derby. James Doyle will ride. Said trainer Keiji Yoshimura, “As planned. Even after entering the quarantine stable, he does not change and he responds to changes in the environment.” Blitzing four furlongs in :51.0 was Nettaiya Rai (Contrail). He is also due to run in the UAE Derby and was ridden by Ryusei Sakai for Yoshito Yahagi. Yahagi won the UAE Derby with Forever Young back in 2024.
