TRAFALGAR, IN—DECEMBER 10, 2013—Chad Richard's All American Futurity(G1) sire and graded stakes winner Brookstone Bay SI 101 will stand the 2014 season at Midwest Equine & Veterinary Hospital near Trafalgar, Indiana. His fee has been set at $2,500. Mares booked by February 1, 2014 may breed for $2,000.

The QHRAI has worked closely with Indiana Downs and the Indiana Horse Racing Commission to create an environment that would attract high quality stallions to Indiana, since the racino era began in 2008.

“We have been very fortunate to have attracted several nice stallions from around the country as well as enticing several Indiana residents to purchase solid stallions to bring to our state. When the news that Brookstone Bay was coming to Indiana became official, the level of excitement among breeders and pride within our racing industry was off the charts,” Tom Mosley QHRAI Director of Industry Relations said this week.

“Having an All American producing sire, from the most prolific sire line in Quarter Horse racing history as well as a solid gold bottom side, stand right here in Indiana is very exciting. We would like to think this is in small part due to the outstanding program that is developing in Indiana, and wish you, Mr. Chad Richard and Brookstone Bay, the very best of Luck,” he added.

In five crops to race, the son of all-time leading sire First Down Dash has sired 96 winners, 22 stakes horses, 1 champion, and earners of $4.3 million with average earnings per starter of $18,391.

His top performers include two-time champion All American Futurity(G1) winner Runnning Brook Gal SI 102 (5 wins, $1,359,989), Central Hi-Point Aged Gelding Fillemup Phil SI 99 (12 wins, $298,328), Gwendolyn Eaves winner PK Bay SI 101 (4 wins, $198,352), Zia Derby(RG2) winner New Mexico Streaker SI 98 (4 wins, $159,777), Hard Twist Stakes winner RCJ Major Storm SI 99 (4 wins, $151,977), etc.

Brookstone Bay won or placed 14 of 21 lifetime starts, earning $184,770. He won the First Down Dash Handicap(G3), was second in the Vessels Maturity(G1), Sgt. Pepper Feature Handicap(G3) and third in the Los Alamitos Winter Championship(G1). He was a finalist to the Golden State Futurity(G1), All American Derby(G1), Champion of Champions(G1), Los Alamitos Winter Derby(G1), etc.

The second dam is champion filly Sixy Chick SI 106 ($751,283), by Streakin Six, a sister to Grade 3 winner and leading broodmare sire Sixarun SI 106 ($291,228). This is the immediate family of Champion Gotta Get SI 109 ($972,834), Eye For Corona SI 99 ($1,100,121), Sixes Royale SI 101 ($384,977), Down With You SI 102 ($222,052), Tempered Glass SI 101 ($103,777), etc.

“It has always been my goal to promote and improve the Indiana bred / Indiana sired race horse in Indiana. This is why I have tried to stand some of the best bred stallions Indiana has had to offer. This is no more evident with the addition of Brookstone Bay for the 2014 season at Midwest Equine & Veterinary Hospital,” Dr. Roger Beam, owner said.

Midwest Equine & Veterinary Hospital also stands Chilled Corona, First Dianastia, Jazz Be First, Kook Quick Kid, Martis Speed Racer, Way Down Town and the Thoroughbred Strong Hope.
