Conveyance Retires to Buck Pond Farm

Conveyance (Indian Charlie–Emptythetill, by Holy Bull), a two-time graded stakes winner at three while under the tutelage of Bob Baffert, has been retired from racing and will enter stud in 2016 at Doug Arnold's Buck Pond Farm. No stud fee was immediately announced.

Bred in Kentucky by Gulf Coast Farms LLC, the gray was a $240,000 purchase out of the 2008 Keeneland September sale and made an immediate impression at the races, earning 'TDN Rising Star' status with a seven-length allowance victory over the Hollywood Cushion track, covering the six furlongs in a smart 1:09 flat. Acquired privately by Sheikh Rashid al Maktoum's Zabeel Racing, Conveyance was victorious in the GIII San Rafael S. to kick off his sophomore season in 2010, added a front-running success in the GIII Southwest S.–his first start over a conventional dirt surface–and spent the latter half of his career with Satish Seemar in Dubai, where he posted a runner-up effort in the G3 Mahab al Shimaal S. in 2011. Conveyance retires with a record of four wins from 11 starts and earnings of $496,560.

“Conveyance is smashing individual with a great pedigree,” Buck Pond Farm owner Doug Arnold stated. “With Uncle Mo on top of the first-crop sire list, Adios Charlie juveniles impressing at the sales, and Liaison's exciting first foals, Indian Charlie is an emerging sire-of-sires. Holy Bull is becoming a top broodmare sire, as well. We believe Conveyance will be very popular. We're thrilled to have him.”

Both shares and breeding rights will be offered.
