GISW Arthur’s Ride Retired, To Sell at Keeneland November

[Wandering Eyes]

Grade I winner Arthur's Ride (Tapit–Points of Grace, by Point Given) has retired from racing and will be offered as a stallion prospect–consigned by Lane's End–at the Keeneland November Sale, according to a Lane's End release Wednesday.

Campaigned by Karl and Cathi Glassman's Glassman Racing, the grey enjoyed his best season in 2024, beginning with an allowance win by 7 1/2 lengths at Gulfstream. Later in the summer at Saratoga, he dazzled with a 12 ¾ length allowance win before taking the GI Whitney Stakes, where he defeated eventual Eclipse Champion National Treasure.

“It is a very important race. It is a Grade I and probably one of the top two or three races that they run in Saratoga,” trainer Bill Mott said following the Whitney.

Bred by Helen and Joseph Barbazon, Arthur's Ride is by leading sire of Grade I winners Tapit, out of the Point Given mare and Canadian Champion Points of Grace.

The 5-year-old hails from the family of Canadian Champion 2-year-old filly Victory to Victory and Group 1 winner Favourable Terms (GB).

“Arthur's Ride gave us a tremendous thrill and it was an honor to win a race like the Whitney. We are looking forward to him getting a great opportunity to begin his new career as a stallion,” said Karl Glassman.

Arthur's Ride is available for inspection at Margaux Farm. Contact Allaire Ryan (aryan@lanesend.com, 859-338-0038) or David Ingordo (dingordo@ingordobloodstock.com, 859-621-8809) for more information.
