That'll leave just 1 more off my list of guesses for Spendthrift. Cloud Computing was the last of the 4 that I put on there. He has gotten 2 SWs since I made it, including a G1 winner in Chile but I don't think that'll matter in the US.

Speaking of Spendthrift cast offs, does anyone know where Hit It A Bomb went? I've tried looking for him and haven't had any luck. He had been standing as a shuttle stallion in Argentina and was exported back to the US after the 2022 Southern Hemisphere breeding season. He had a 2023 stud fee at Spendthrift but was exported before the Northern Hemisphere breeding season started.

iirc he is in Argentina permanently. i would check the studbook to be sure he wasn't returned to the USA this year but it's down...

Ahh okay. Maybe they bought him back after he was returned to the US and Spendthrift decided to sell him. He was at Haras Firamento. I had tried checking their studbook earlier and it wouldn't work for me either.

Edit: I just checked again and the site is up, the last thing for him is export to the USA. Doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't sent back. While they do keep track of imports/exports the dates are certainly not right.

Japanese stallion Dance Director has been pensioned and moved from Arrow Stud to Versailles Resort Farm. He's still pretty young but has just a few foals so I'm guessing he had fertility problems or simply wasn't very popular.
He is a handsome horse and seems to be adjusting well to his new home.

his fertility seemed to be okay but he barely got any mares.

2019: 4 mares (2 foals)
2020: 5 mares (3 foals)
2021: 2 mares (1 foal)
2022: 1 mare (no foal reported)

A sight to behold in full flight, the 2021 Dirt Mile winner inspired breeders to send him a first book containing 25 Grade I winners and/or producers, as well as 70 graded winners and/or producers.

this is an American Pharoah/Justify level 1st book, isn't it?

Flightline’s book must be absolutely insane. I would love to see a list of his mares once the season is over.
