Jackie's Warrior, Cyberknife on Display at Spendthrift

Jackie's Warrior  , the five-time grade 1 winner and reigning champion male sprinter, and Cyberknife  , the multiple grade 1-winning 3-year-old by Gun Runner  , are both at Spendthrift Farm and available for inspection to breeders Nov. 9-15 from 1:30-3 p.m. ET daily.

Both set to stand new at stud in 2023. Jackie's Warrior has been retired from racing and has taken up residency at the Central Kentucky farm, while Cyberknife will return to training with Brad Cox after Nov. 15 to finish his racing career this fall and winter. The breeding season begins in February.

Jackie's Warrior ran third in the Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1), while Cyberknife was second in the Big Ass Fans Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1), both Nov. 5 at Keeneland.

"Jackie's Warrior has settled in nicely at the farm and is such an impressive specimen, especially for a horse coming off a pretty hard campaign. It's special to be able to add another great champion to our stallion ranks and we're excited to be able to show him off to breeders," said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift general manager. "Cyberknife ran great to finish a head behind older horse Cody's Wish  in the Dirt Mile, and he came to the farm looking well and with good energy. He is set to run again before retiring, however, it was important for us to be able to show him to breeders over the course of the next week before he goes back to Brad Cox."

Jackie's Warrior will stand his first season for a fee of $50,000, stands and nurses. The supremely talented son of Maclean's Music   retires as the first champion sprinter in 34 years to win five grade 1s. This year he became the only horse in the storied history of Saratoga Race Course to win a grade 1 stakes in three consecutive years when he captured the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G1).

Trained by Steve Asmussen, Jackie's Warrior also became the first 2-year-old since champion Dehere in 1993 to win all three of New York's premier races for juveniles, including the Runhappy Hopeful Stakes (G1)—breaking a 28-year-old stakes record—and  Saratoga Special Stakes Presented by Miller Lite (G2) followed by the Champagne (G1) at Belmont Park.

At age 3, he outdueled Life Is Good   to win the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial Stakes (G1), along with knocking down fast victories in the Amsterdam Stakes (G2) and Gallant Bob Stakes (G2), on his way to winning the 2021 Eclipse Award for male sprinter. This year, Jackie's Warrior won the Churchill Downs Stakes Presented by Ford (G1), the True North Stakes (G2), and the Count Fleet Sprint Handicap (G3) on top of the Vanderbilt.

Jackie's Warrior won 12 of 18 starts and earned $2,959,164 for Kirk and Judy Robison. He is a likely finalist for champion sprinter in 2022.

Cyberknife takes a quick break at Spendthrift fresh off a narrow loss in the Dirt Mile. He became Gun Runner's first multiple grade 1-winning colt by taking the Arkansas Derby (G1) and TVG.com Haskell Stakes (G1). In the latter, he outfinished multiple grade 1 winners Taiba  and Jack Christopher  in track-record time of 1:46.24, breaking a 37-year-old mark for 1 1/8 miles held by Spend a Buck.

Cyberknife also won the Matt Winn Stakes (G3) this summer and was runner-up in the prestigious Runhappy Travers Stakes (G1). He's the most accomplished son of Gun Runner to date, with earnings of $2,087,520 for Al Gold's Gold Square.

Upon retirement, Cyberknife will stand in 2023 for an advertised fee of $30,000, stands and nurses.
