Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 31 Journalists Posted March 31 Kentucky Derby contender Journalism (Curlin–Mopotism, by Uncle Mo) will stand at Coolmore America's Ashford Stud following his racing career, the operation announced Monday evening. In addition, Coolmore partners Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith will participate with the colt's current ownership group of Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Elayne Stables 5 LLC and Robert LaPenta. Trained by Michael McCarthy, Journalism ended his juvenile campaign with a win in the GII Los Alamitos Futurity in December and returned at three with an eye-catching victory in the Mar. 1 GII San Felipe Stakes. He is expected to face off against last year's champion 2-year-old Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) in the GI Santa Anita Derby Saturday. Journalism is the first foal out of graded stakes winner and multiple Grade I-placed Mopotism, who was purchased by Don Alberto for $1.05 million at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton November sale. Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners signed the ticket on the colt at $825,000 at the 2023 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale. “We are delighted to be joining Eclipse, Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto Stable, Elayne Stables 5 LLC and Robert LaPenta in Journalism's future,” said Coolmore's M.V. Mangier. “He's a very exciting prospect, very good-looking colt with an impeccable pedigree. We look forward to a big career with him.” The post Journalism to Coolmore America Upon Retirement appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
