Multiple Grade I winner Raging Torrent (Maximus Mischief–Violent Wave, by Violence) has been retired from racing and will begin his stud career at Lane's End Farm, the nursery announced Thursday.
“We've had a history of success with Malibu winners standing at Lane's End with the likes of City of Light, Twirling Candy, and The Factor, which played a big role in bringing Raging Torrent here,” said Lane's End's Bill Farish. “His ability to stretch his front-running speed to a mile and win a prestigious race like the Met, in addition to his international success, makes him an exciting prospect for breeders.”
Raging Torrent was third in the 2023 GIII Best Pal Stakes as a 2-year-old, and he won last year's GI Malibu Stakes and GII Pat O'Brien Stakes as a 3-year-old. He traveled to Dubai to take his 2025 debut in the G2 Godolphin Mile at Meydan for new owners Yuesheng Zhang and Craig Dado, and he returned stateside to win the GI Metropolitan Handicap in his final start in June.
On the board in 10 of 14 starts, Raging Torrent won seven times and earned $1,797,400.
Raging Torrent will be available for inspection at Lane's End beginning with the start of the Keeneland September Yearling Sale.
