Win Win Win to Stand at Ocala Stud

Grade 1 winner Win Win Win  will enter stud next year at Ocala Stud, the farm announced Nov. 4, as the property of a partnership including Live Oak Stud, Airdrie Stud, and Ocala Stud. His fee has been set at $5,000 with a stands and nurses guarantee.

"We are very excited to add Win Win Win to our roster," said Ocala Stud manager David O'Farrell. "He's a big, grand-looking horse with a lot of presence. His record-setting speed, versatility, and classic bloodline which consists of three Kentucky Derby winners give Win Win Win a great opportunity to become a top sire."

A homebred for Live Oak and trained by Michael Trombetta, Win Win Win claimed victories in five of his 12 starts and placed in four others en route to earnings of $601,600. The 4-year-old son of Hat Trick concluded his career on a high note, finishing by taking the Forego Stakes Presented by America's Best Racing (G1) during a driving rainstorm. With a powerful late rally, he won the seven-furlong event in 1:21.71, defeating four grade 1 winners, including this year's Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) favorite Complexity .

Last season at 3, Win Win Win set a track record at Tampa Bay Downs in the Pasco Stakes—an early prep for the Lambholm South Tampa Bay Derby (G2)—in his sophomore debut. He drew off powerfully in that seven-furlong test, speeding to a 7 1/4-length win in 1:20.89, earning a 2 on the Ragozin Sheets. Ragozin numbers are performance figures in which lower figures represent faster races.

Win Win Win also has shown versatility by winning the Manila Stakes at one mile on turf at Belmont Park, where he stopped the timer in 1:31.56, just one-fifth of a second off the course record set by Oscar Performance . Prior to the Manilla, Win Win Win finished second to multiple grade 1 winner Vekoma  in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G2).

A precocious juvenile, Win Win Win won two of his three starts at 2. He won his first two career starts before finishing second in the seven-furlong Heft Stakes at Laurel Park to close out his juvenile campaign.

"The combination of Win Win Win's tremendous talent and the opportunity he will receive at Ocala Stud is why we're so excited to partner on his stallion career," said Airdrie Stud vice president Bret Jones. "No one will give this horse a better chance to succeed than Ocala Stud and we look forward to doing our part by supporting him heavily in each of his early years at stud. I know the Live Oak team has always believed he was a genuine star, and we are grateful to Mrs. Weber for letting Airdrie play a role in his exciting future."

Classically bred with record-setting speed, Win Win Win hails from a deep Live Oak family. A descendant of the Halo sire line—his grandsire is Sunday Silence—Win Win Win is out of a stout female family. His dam is the winning Smarty Jones mare Miss Smarty Pants, a half sister to graded stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Unbridled Humor (by Distorted Humor ) produced from the stakes-winning and graded stakes-placed Unbridled mare Devotion Unbridled.
