Cowboy Culture to Stand at Midwest Equine Clinic

First-year sire Cowboy Culture will start the 2021 breeding season at Midwest Equine Clinic in Trafalgar, Ind., which is 29 miles west of Indiana Grand Race Course, according to Premier Stallions.

The 7-year-old son of Quality Road  and grade 3 winner was originally scheduled to begin his stud career at Whitney Farms, according to an announcement made in October. Dr. Roger Beam's Midwest Equine Clinic features an on-site reproductive veterinary clinic providing a high level of mare and foal care. Beam's conception rate is among the highest in the state.

"We're excited to introduce this classy racehorse to Indiana breeders," said Beam. "His pedigree is unsurpassed and his conformation is impeccable. He is Indiana's stallion of the future."

Bred in Kentucky by Rhineshire Farm out of English Willow (by Smart Strike), Cowboy Culture was undefeated in his first three starts and at 3 he captured the Arlington Classic Stakes (G3T), which he took by a widening 5 3/4 lengths. He won six races between ages 2 and 5 and retired sound with earnings of $339,494.

Cowboy Culture has an introductory fee of $2,500 with a live foal guarantee. Breeders have the option of booking additional mares for $1,500 each. Breeders who fulfill at least three contracts will receive at no additional cost a lifetime breeding right to the stallion.
