Cinco Charlie to Leadem Farm in Texas for 2022

Grade 3 winner and promising young sire Cinco Charlie   (by Indian Charlie ) has been purchased by Bob and Tyree Wolesensky's Leadem Farm and will relocate there for the 2022 breeding season. Jay Goodwin orchestrated the deal.

"Texas racing is thriving and the breeding business is coming back," said Goodwin. "Bob and Tyree approached me about finding a stallion that would fit Texas and I don't think we could have found a better one. Cinco Charlie was a brilliantly fast 2-year-old who won the Bashford Manor (G3), was owned by Bill and Corinne Heiligbrodt, and trained by Steve Asmussen, Texas Hall of Famers. This horse is Texas through and through. Cinco Charlie had the speed and precocity that Texas breeders want. Leadem Farm is an absolutely beautiful operation in the heart of Texas horse country and I'm sure that Cinco Charlie will have a long and successful career there. I want to thank Spendthrift Farm, particularly Eric Gustavson, Ned Toffey, Mark Toothaker, and Bill Heiligbrodt for helping this transaction take place." 

Cinco Charlie won eight of 18 starts for earnings of $608,920. He was particularly impressive at 2, winning five of his eight starts. Cinco Charlie stood his first five seasons at Spendthrift Farm and currently sits in the top 30 on the second-crop sire list. His top runners include the stakes winner Huntsinger  and graded stakes-placed Five Pics Please .
