Stallion Echo Town Relocated To Stand In Arkansas For 2026

[Wandering Eyes]

Echo Town (by Speightstown), the winner of the GI H. Allen Jerkens, was purchased by Tyree Wolesensky and has relocated to her Leadem Farm in Arkansas for the 2026 breeding season, according to a release from Vinery Sales on Friday.

Brokered by Vinery's Jay Goodwin, Echo Town has arrived in Arkansas and is ready for inspection. He will stand the 2026 season for $3,500.

“Just really excited for Arkansas breeders to have a Grade I-winning sprinter with that pedigree, who has already proven the ability to sire precocious graded stakes winners,” said Goodwin. “He is exactly what Arkansas needs. I would've bred to him in Kentucky this year, so I will definitely support him with my mares in Arkansas.”

The son of sire of sires, Speightstown, recorded 10 starts, four wins, two seconds, and as many thirds. The bay campaigned by L and N Racing and trained by Steve Asmussen had a signature score during his 3-year-old season when he defeated six graded stakes winner in the Allen Jerkens at the Spa.

Prior to that, Echo Town was the runner-up in the GI Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont Park, which was his first attempt at a higher-level prize.

As a sire, Echo Town is responsible for four total crops and two of racing age. Lifetime, he claims 45 winners out of 73 starters.

Among them is Echo Sound–a first-crop filly for the sire–who began her career three-for-three with a stakes win followed by scores in the GIII Miss Preakness Stakes and the GIII Victory Ride Stakes.

The former member of Coolmore America's stallion roster has also sired stakes winning filly, Elegant Echo, who started racing with a pair of wins. Joining her is Three Echoes, who broke his maiden as a juvenile at Churchill Downs then placed in the GIII Sanford Stakes.

Recently, the new Arkansas-based sire had juvenile winners at Delta Downs and Charles Town, plus Dakota's Lil Auror was stakes-placed in the Juvenile Fillies Sprint Stakes at Gulfstream.

Echo Town, out of GSW Letgomyecho (Menifee), comes from a pedigree covered with black-type. His half-siblings include champion 2-year-old filly Echo Zulu (Gun Runner), GSW J Boys Echo (Mineshaft) and the stakes-placed dam of SW Saturday Flirt (Mendelssohn).
