Exaggerator Relocated to Elite Thoroughbreds

Exaggerator  , Curlin  's only three-time grade 1 winner at stud, has been moved to Elite Thoroughbreds in Folsom, La., where he will stand the 2022 season for a fee of $5,000 live foal.

On the racetrack, Exaggerator captured the 2016 Preakness Stakes (G1), betfair.com Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1), and Santa Anita Derby (G1), as well as finishing runner-up to Nyquist   in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1). A precocious 2-year-old, he won the Saratoga Special Stakes (G2) and the $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot (G3) and placed in the Claiborne Breeders' Futurity (G1). From 15 starts, he had six wins, five of which were stakes victories as well as placing in another four stakes, and earned $3,581,120.

Exaggerator is the 2021 leading second-crop sire by number of winners (80). He ranked ninth by earnings for both his first and second crops. He previously stood at WinStar Farm.

His top 2021 runners include now 3-year-old stakes-winning fillies Sea Level  and Pacific Coast , as well as stakes winner Gagetown , winner of the Prairie Mile Stakes and placed in the Iowa Derby and St. Louis Derby Sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook, and multiple stakes-placed Crew Dragon .

"I am thrilled to add Exaggerator to the Elite Thoroughbreds stallion roster," said Michele Rodriguez. "I believe he brings terrific opportunity to Louisiana breeders."

Exaggerator joins Elite stallions Apriority , Catalina Red , My Pal Charlie , Sassicaia , and Secret Circle .
