Journalism (Curlin) who took three Grade I races during his 3-year-old season, will not be retired to stud at Coolmore America just yet, but will instead resume training for a 2026 campaign, according to co-owner Aron Wellman.

Journalism won the GI Santa Anita Derby, Preakness, and Haskell Stakes in 2025.

“Journalism will return to training with Michael McCarthy in 2026,” said Wellman. “He will go to Bridlewood Farm for a 30-60 day freshening.”

The colt's ownership group, which included Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Bridlewood Farm, Don Alberto, Robert LaPenta, Elayne Stables Five, Mrs. John Magnier, Michael B. Tabor and Derrick Smith, watched as the Michael McCarthy trainee finished fourth in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar last Saturday.

Stallion fees at Ashford Stud were announced on Tuesday, Nov. 4 and included new acquisitions Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) at $75,000, Fierceness (City of Light) at $50,000 and Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) at $35,000. A decision on whether Journalism would be joining these newly-minted sires was expected this week.
