In a landmark merger of New York breeding operations, three of the four leading stallions based in the state by 2017 progeny earnings will stand next year under the management of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC at Irish Hill Century Farm in Saratoga Springs, NY. This will be the largest stallion station in the region.
Sunrise Stallions, which owns champion and New York sire Big Brown, as well as Frost Giant and freshman sire Heavy Breathing, will stand that trio at Irish Hill, which will also become the home of leading New York stallion Bellamy Road.
“We are enthusiastic about standing our stallions with Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions near Saratoga Springs, and believe the new operation will offer breeders a first-rate experience and the best chance at getting an outstanding foal,” said Sunrise Stallions' Andrew Cohen.
The full roster will include the stallions already standing at Irish Hill: Zivo, Market Rally and Desert Party.
“We are excited about the potential of standing so many top quality stallions and combining forces with Irish Hill,” Dutchess Views' Michael Lischin said.
Stud fees will be announced after the Breeders Cup races.
