GUTHRIE, OK—OCTOBER 5, 2015—Multiple stakes winner Wagon Tales has been retired from racing and will begin his breeding career in 2016 at Lazy E Ranch. His fee has been set at $2,000. Cooled semen will be available.

At $427,579, Wagon Tales is the #2 Money-Earning son of the 2015’s Leading Sire of Money Earners and Stakes Winners - Pyc Paint Your Wagon.

A stakes winner at Remington Park at 2 and at Los Alamitos at 3, Wagon Tales was the nation’s #4 money-earning 2-year-old colt in 2013 when he won the $100,000 Remington Park Juvenile and next was a fast closing 3rd in the $1,085,260 Heritage Place Futurity G1. He was then on to Ruidoso to set the fastest qualifying time, :21.02, to the All American Futurity and was 3rd (by a neck and a nose) in the $2,600,000 final.

At 3, Wagon Tales also won the A Ransom Handicap at Los Alamitos and later placed in the Leo Stakes G1 at Remington Park. He was also a finalist in the Los Alamitos Winter Championship G1, Sooner State Stakes RG1 and Prairie Meadows Challenge Championship G2.

Since June 2014, Wagon Tales has been owned by Michael and Donalda Pohl and trained by Randy Hill. A full brother to 2015 Iowa Double Gold Futurity winner The Fiscal Cliff $137,241, Wagon Tales is out of the multiple stakes producing Shazoom mare Signs Zoomer $30,044.

Signs Zoomer is a half-sister to Speedhorse Futurity G1 winner First Painted Sign $284,911 (also by PYC Paint Your Wagon). First Painted Sign is the dam of 2015 Ruidoso Futurity G1 winner First Valiant Sign $693,980, #3 Leading Money Earner of 2015, who also placed in the Rainbow Futurity G1 and was a finalist in the All American Futurity G1. First Painted Sign also is the dam of 2015 2-year-old A Tres Of Paint $286,956, who was second in the Heritage Place Futurity G1 and was a finalist in the Rainbow Futurity G1 and Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Futurity RG2 and is #9 Leading Money-Earning 2-Year-Old of 2015.

First Painted Sign is a full sister to the multiple stakes winner Second Painted Sign $101,604.

“Wagon Tales is a very exciting stallion prospect in a number of very important ways. He is a grand individual that loved 440 yards, the All American distance, but was also a precocious early 2-year-old. He excelled at the “Big Three” Ruidoso, Remington and Los Alamitos. His success at this very high level and his unique genetics are, in our experience, solid predictors of future siring success. We have followed him his entire career and are excited to have him in our breeding shed. Breeders will also love that he is devoid of First Down Dash in five generations and that is so very important today” said Lazy E Ranch’s Butch Wise.
