GII Saratoga Special winner I Spent It (Super Saver–Rateeba, by Sky Mesa) has been relocated to Oklahoma for the 2017 breeding season and will stand at Merrick Ranches for $2,500 after being purchased by Joe Merrick for $22,000 at the Fasig-Tipton February sale.
Purchased by Alex and JoAnn Lieblong for $600,000 at the Fasig-Tipton March 2-year-old sale, I Spent It captured the 2014 Saratoga Special and was second in that year's GI Hopeful S. for the Lieblongs, Three Chimneys Farm and trainer Tony Dutrow. He retired at the end of 2015 with a record of 7-2-1-0 and earnings of $347,640.
“We are very fortunate to have him and think he's from an up-and-coming sire line with all the success we've seen from Super Saver and the interest in his young sons likes Runhappy and Competitive Edge,” said Merrick. “We really think I Spent It is going to be an asset to the breeding program in Oklahoma.”
The 5-year-old formerly stood in Florida and his first crop of foals are now weanlings.
