GI Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike (Keen Ice–Gold Strike, by Smart Strike) is being relocated to Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC in Stillwater, New York, to start the 2025 breeding season. The 6-year-old stallion, who had been expected to begin his stud career this year at Mountain Spring Farm in Pennsylvania, was recently purchased by a group that includes his former trainer, Eric Reed, longtime owner Ken Tyson, and Jamie LaMonica, head of the Kentucky-based The Stallion Company bloodstock agency. Rich Strike will stand his initial season at stud for an introductory fee of $6,500 S&N. “It was originally contemplated to start Rich Strike's stallion career at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions, however the deal fell through,” said LaMonica. “When Rich Strike moved to Mountain Spring Farm in Pennsylvania, our new ownership group circled back and made a pitch to get involved with the horse. Everyone at Mountain Spring Farm has been great to work with, but the new ownership group has a stronger relationship with New York than Pennsylvania and we felt that Rich Strike has a better opportunity in New York. With the reconstruction of Belmont Park, we thought it would be beneficial to a stallion that has the pedigree to thrive on all three surfaces–dirt, synthetic, and turf.” In addition to his 2022 Derby victory, Rich Strike was second in that year's GII Lukas Classic and third in the GII Jeff Ruby Steaks. On the board in six of 14 starts, he won twice and earned $2,526,809. “New York breeders are sophisticated and informed, so they understand Rich Strike is a grandson of Curlin and out of a champion mare,” said Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions' Rick Burke. “He should fit a lot of the mare population, both genetically and physically. I was able to inspect Rich Strike when we were negotiating the first time around and was really impressed by his good looks and presence. I am looking forward to showing off the Kentucky Derby winner to New York breeders. I think they will really like him.” The post Rich Strike to Stand at Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions in New York appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

There were fireworks on Chantilly's Tuesday afternoon card as Carlos and Yann Lerner trainee We'll Defend (Fr) (Zelzal {Fr}–Skysweeper {Fr}, by Hurricane Run {Ire}) illuminated proceedings with a taking four-length 'TDN Rising Star' performance in the Prix de la Serpentine, a 9 1/2-furlong contest for unraced fillies. The G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Prix de Diane entry was under heavy restraint through the early stages and raced in a handy fourth, behind a sedate pace, for the most part. Cruising forward on the bridle in the home straight, the 3-5 favourite loomed large out wide passing the quarter-mile marker and quickened clear in impressive fashion inside the final furlong to easily overpower Integretas (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) by daylight. We'll Defend becomes the first 'TDN Rising Star' for her Haras de Bouquetot-based sire (by Sea The Stars {Ire}). “This is a filly we have loved since day one and she would have run last year if not for a minor setback,” explained trainer Yann Lerner. “We were quite confident for this first run and, if all is well, she will run next time in the Prix Durban at Saint Cloud. That is a Class 1 race for fillies, it's the same program we followed with her [half-] sister La Parisienne and we'll see where we go from there.” We'll Defend is the eighth of nine foals and seventh scorer from as many runners produced by a half-sister to dual G3 Abu Dhabi Championship winner GM Hopkins (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and the dual stakes-placed Zvarkhova (Fr) (Makfi {GB}). The April-foaled bay is kin to G1 Prix de Diane and G1 Prix Vermeille placegetter La Parisienne (Fr) (Zarak {Fr}), Listed Prix Vulcain victor Newlook (Fr) (New Bay {GB}), G3 Prix des Reservoirs third Scripturale (Fr) (Makfi {GB}), the stakes-placed Skycutter (Fr) (Scissor Kick {Aus}) and a yearling filly by Zarak (Fr). Scripturale is the dam of stakes-winning G3 Preis der Winterkonigin runner-up La Guapisima (Fr) (City Light {Fr}) while We'll Defend's third dam Renowned (Ire) (Darshaan {GB}) is an unraced full-sister to dual Group 1-winning sire Mark Of Esteem (Ire). 2nd-Chantilly, €27,000, Mdn, 3-4, unraced 3yo, f, 9 1/2f (AWT), 2:03.03, st.
