He will stand for a fee of $5,000. “It's always a great day when a talented and well-bred stallion arrives at Pleasant Acres Stallions. When a graded-stakes winning, 'TDN Rising Star,' son of Justify arrives, you can imagine our excitement,” said Christine Jones, Director of Stallion Services at Pleasant Acres Stallions. “Champions Dream has an exceptional pedigree with a lot of black-type on his dam side. We are confident he will be a great addition for Florida breeders commercially and at the racetrack.” Champions Dream, a $25,000 KEESEP yearling turned $425,000 OBSMAR breezer, was campaigned by Rosedown Racing Stables LLC. His dam Dancinginherdreams was a fellow 'Rising Star' and captured the 2010 GII Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs. “From the very start, Champions Dream was a special horse. He broke his maiden at first asking in Saratoga and moved forward from there. His last race was another indication of his true ability, determination, and excellent physique. He is intelligent and his demeanor is easy-going,” said Rafael Weiss, Rosedown Racing. “We plan to breed a number of our better mares to him and are purchasing several more for him. We are convinced his brilliant early speed and pedigree are a great fit for Florida.” The post Champions Dream Retired to Pleasant Acres Stallions appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
