Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) winner Fort Larned has been sold and is relocating from Adena Springs Kentucky to Daryl and Sally Duncan's Duncan Farms near Warsaw, Ohio. The stallion will stand for $2,000 next year.
The 11-year-old son of E Dubai has sired 46 winners through Nov. 18, led by black-type winners Blonde Bomber, who was third in the 14 Hands Winery Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), and multiple stakes winner Queen Chanel. His stakes-placed performers include multiple graded-placed winner Sir Sahib, who was second in this year's Nijinsky Stakes (G2T) and third in the Singspiel Stakes (G3T) at Woodbine.
Fort Larned, bred and raced by Janis Whitham, is a three-time grade 1 winner and was an Eclipse Award finalist for champion older male honors in 2012 when he won the Classic and Whitney Invitational Handicap (G1). He came back the following year to take the Stephen Foster Handicap presented by Abu Dhabi (G1) and retired with 10-2-1 record out of 25 starts and earnings exceeding $4.47 million.
Out of the winning Broad Brush mare Arlucea, Fort Larned is a half brother to grade 3 winner Walkabout (Stroll), multiple grade 1-placed winner Izarra (Distorted Humor ), and stakes-placed winner Moonport (Cape Canaveral ). His second dam is two-time champion and brilliant race mare Bayakoa.
Duncan Farms also stands graded stakes winner Corfu for $1,500.
