Graded Stakes Winning Stallion Simplification to Shuttle to Argentina

[Wandering Eyes]

Simplification (Not This Time–Simply Confection, by Candy Ride {Arg}), winner of the 2022 GII Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes, will stand the Southern Hemisphere breeding season at Haras Carampangue in Argentina, Turf Diario reported. The 6-year-old, who will shuttle back to Pleasant Acres Stallions in Ocala where he began his stud career in 2024, was brought to Argentina under a partnership between Haras Juan Antonio, Stud RDI, and El Wing.

“We were approached by Roberto Vignatti, who really liked the horse and suggested we look into him,” Ignacio Pavlovsky of Haras Carampangue told Turf Diaro. “I watched all 16 of his races and was impressed by his speed, consistency, and durability–he never got an easy trip. We traveled to the U.S. with Endrigo Gennoni to see him in person, and his conformation and his foals blew us away. Then RDI joined in–we already share Ivar–and now the whole group is really excited. He's got the looks, the pedigree–being out of a Candy Ride mare–and I've always loved Not This Time. A new stallion brings fresh energy, and we're all very motivated for what's to come.”

In addition to his win in the Fountain of Youth Stakes, Simplification also won the Mucho Macho Man Stakes and was second in the GIII Holy Bull Stakes and third in the GI Curlin Florida Derby before a fourth-place effort in the 2022 GI Kentucky Derby. He also hit the board in the GIII West Virginia Derby and GIII Harlan's Holiday Stakes in 2022 and in the GII Gulfstream Park Mile in 2023.

On the board in nine of 16 lifetime starts, Simplification retired with three wins and earnings of $873,110. He stood the 2025 season at Pleasant Acres for $6,500.
