Pyrenees (Into Mischief–Our Khrysty, by Newfoundland), winner of the GIII Pimlico Special Stakes and runner-up in the GI Stephen Foster Stakes and GI Jockey Club Gold Cup in 2024, will take up stallion duty at Aboreum Farm in the Republic of Korea, according to a Blue Heaven Farm release Thursday. Pyrenees, who retired in May, was bred and campaigned by Adam Corndorf and his mother, Bonnie Baskin, under their Blue Heaven Farm banner.
“We're excited to welcome Pyrenees to Aboreum Farm's stallion roster for the next season. Aboreum is home to Concord Point, one of Korea's leading sires, and second-season stallion West Will Power. With his strong female family, proven race record, and physical, we believe he's an ideal fit for the Korean market. He will also be the first son of Into Mischief to stand in Korea. Special thanks to Blue Heaven Farm and our agent Jun Park for facilitating the deal,” said Aboreum Farm's stallion manager, Young Sam Kim.
A homebred son of Grade III winner Our Khrysty, purchased by Blue Heaven for $600,000 in foal to Tiznow at the 2011 FasigTipton November Sale, Pyrenees won last year's Pimlico Special before finishing runner-up in the GI Stephen Foster. He was beaten four lengths in second in the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup. He was retired with a record of 4-3-1 from 11 starts and earnings of $786,316 for trainer Cherie DeVaux.
