Right now, I'm entertaining a number of stallion opportunities," Dawson said. "Just trying to find the right spot for him. Hopefully, something will get done pretty quickly. We certainly want to make the 2025 breeding season and have an opportunity with some of the better mares. They're going to start committing pretty quickly, so we want to get into the loop. Just a few weeks ago, I thought I was within hours of getting that done and it all fell apart. That's the horse business. You think you have a deal set and then something comes up to change it." Dawson said his preference is that Rich Strike stands in Kentucky. New York, he said, is his second option. "I am not interested in international markets, just because I'd like to keep him in America," Dawson said. "It's mainly Kentucky and second would be New York. I just want to find a good spot for him. I have no interest in him covering 150 mares. But I'd like to see him cover 25 or 30 really good ones. He's going to have to build his legacy now through his offspring versus what he could do on the racetrack."
Hes got to high of hopes for Rich Strike. If someone in KY wanted that heavily inbred got stupidly lucky Derby winner a deal would've happened awhile ago.
