Big Brown to Stand 2015 Season in New York
Bloodhorse
Big Brown , champion 3-year-old of 2008 when he won the first two legs of the Triple Crown and a leading third-crop sire, will stand the 2015 season in New York.
A majority interest in the 9-year-old son of Boundary, the sire of nine 2014 stakes winners and recent Bob Baffert-trained Santa Anita Park 2-year-old winner Dortmund, has been acquired by Andrew Cohen's Sunrise Stables and Gary Tolchin's Golden Goose Enterprises. Both were involved in the ownership of Big Brown during his racing career.
"In becoming the first horse in history to win the Kentucky Derby (Presented by Yum! Brands) (gr. I) from post 20 while earning the best Ragozin number in Derby history, Big Brown showed us what an extraordinary runner he was, and his Preakness Stakes (gr. I) victory was just as impressive," Cohen said. "As a sire he has given us stakes winners at a wide variety of distances and surfaces, and he has had grade/group I runners in three countries.
"Some of his most successful performers have been New York-breds and/or from New York-bred connections. We believe that between Big Brown and Frost Giant , we are offering New York breeders the best stallion choices for their mares."
Big Brown will stand his first season in New York for an introductory fee of $8,500. Sunrise and Golden Goose, which developed and stand record-breaking New York freshman sire Frost Giant, will announce the location where Big Brown will stand in the near future.
Also the winner of the Haskell Invitational Stakes (gr. I), Florida Derby (gr. I), and the Monmouth Stakes on grass, Big Brown earned $3,614,500 during his racing career. He has stood his entire stud career at Three Chimneys Farm in Midway, Ky.
Currently, Big Brown is tied for second behind Curlin among all third-crop sires in North America with his nine 2014 stakes winners, and his progeny have earned $3,342,697 this year, ranking him seventh among his peers. His progeny earnings would rank him fourth among all New York-based sires, with the three leaders having significantly more runners on track.
Overall, Big Brown has sired 12 stakes winners in his first three crops of racing age, an additional nine stakes-placed runners, and the earners of more than $7,397,000.
Bred by Gary Knapp's Monticule, he is out of the Nureyev mare Mien and is from the female family of champion Hidden Lake.
Big Brown, who has also shuttled to Vinery Australia for Southern Hemisphere duty, stands at 16.1 hands
