Jonesboro (Sefapiano–Mom's Command, by Top Command) has been pensioned from stallion duties and retired to Old Friends near Georgetown, Ky. The hard-knocking millionaire, who won 10 black-type events, including the GII Prairie Meadows Cornhusker H. and three other graded stakes, has stood since 2011 at Lake Hamilton Equine in Royal, Ark. His nine small crops of racing age include three stakes winners.

Jonesboro is a son of Mom's Command, the 1985 Eclipse champion 3-year-old filly whose five Grade I wins included the Filly Triple Crown. Bred by Peter Fuller, who campaigned Mom's Command, Jonesboro raced for Michael Langford and trainer Randy Morse.

“Like most of us, Jonesboro owes a lot to his mother,” said Old Friends President Michael Blowen. “Mom's Command was owned by Peter Fuller, who also campaigned Dancer's Image [Native Dancer]. Peter contributed $500 to Old Friends when we first started. And his daughter, Abby, who rode Mom, is a lifelong friend. Generosity and nepotism still matter.”

The now 20-year-old stallion arrived at Old Friends Sept. 11.
