Boisterous , the leading freshman sire in California in 2018 and leading sophomore sire in the state in 2019, has been relocated to stand the 2020 season at Diamond B Farm in Pennsylvania, it was announced Jan. 2.
The 13-year-old son of Distorted Humor entered stud in 2015 at Tom and Debi Stull's Tommy Town Thoroughbreds near Santa Ynez, Calif., and has spent his stallion career there. His 2019 fee was $5,000. He will stand for $3,000 at Diamond B in 2020.
Boisterous won the Man o' War Stakes (G1T) as a 6-year-old in 2013 for Phipps Stable and trainer Shug McGaughey, turning back Twilight Eclipse, Exclusive Strike, Finnegans Wake, and more.
That score topped a racing career that included victories in the Red Smith Handicap (G2T) and Knickerbocker Stakes (G3T) in 2011 and 2012, the 2011 Three Coins Up Stakes, the 2012 Fort Marcy Stakes (G3T), and the Monmouth Stakes (G2T) in 2013 over Big Blue Kitten, the champion turf horse of 2015.
Bred in Kentucky by Cynthia Phipps out of the multiple graded stakes-placed Cox's Ridge mare Emanating, Boisterous was retired with a 12-3-4 record from 35 starts, with earnings of $1,458,792. He is from the good sire family of Out of Place and Gold Fever, and is the sire of the stakes winner Kookie Gal from his first crop.
Diamond B, operated by Glenn and Becky Brok, also stands Eastwood, Flashback , Social Inclusion , Talent Search, and Uptowncharlybrown .
