Grade I winner Borrego will enter stud in 2007 at Wintergreen Stallion Station near Midway, Ky., and will stand for $20,000 live foal.
A winner on both dirt and turf as a 2-year-old, Borrego first encountered national prominence while finishing a smart second to Smarty Jones in the 2004 Arkansas Derby (gr. II). Borrego was the only horse to run in that year’s Kentucky Derby(gr. I) and go on to win as many as two grade I stakes the following year.
Borrego captured the 2005 Pacific Classic Stakes (gr. I) over Perfect Drift and Lava Man. In his next start, he proved an overpowering winner in the Jockey Club Gold Cup (gr. I) over a field that included Flower Alley.
Borrego (El Prado–Sweet as Honey, by Strike the Gold) retired with five wins from 20 races and earnings of $2,052,090. Wintergreen Stallion Station - owned by John Greely IV and his brother, C. Beau Greely - plans to show Borrego at the farm during the Keeneland September yearling sale.
Meanwhile, Man o’ War Stakes (gr. IT) at Belmont Park winner, Cacique, will enter stud in 2007 at Khalid Abdullah’s Banstead Manor Stud near Newmarket, England.
An Irish-bred son of Danehill bred and raced by Juddmonte, also won the Manhattan Handicap (gr. IT) at Belmont in June and ran second in three grade I turf stakes this year. He had begun his racing career in France, where he won three group stakes and placed in three group I events, including the Juddmonte Grand Prix de Paris.
The five-year-old is a full or half-brother to grade/group I winners and/or champions Banks Hill, Dansili, Heat Haze, and Intercontinental. He is out of the stakes-winning Kahyasi mare Hasili.
Cacique, who has won seven of 17 races and earned $1,462,331, might run next in the Nov. 4 John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf (gr. IT).
