Conquest Farenheit Sent to Stud at Ballena Vista Farm

Conquest Farenheit, a multiple stakes-winning son of Scat Daddy, has been retired and will stand at Ballena Vista Farm in California for an introductory fee of $3,000 live foal as the property of Rockingham Ranch and Chad Littlefield, the farm announced Oct. 12.

After breaking his maiden at first asking by five lengths as a juvenile, he was grade 2-placed in his second start when he finished second in the Summer Stakes (G2T) at Woodbine while campaigned by Conquest Stables.

Conquest Farenheit was sold as a 2-year-old through a complete dispersal of Conquest Stables' stock at the 2016 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. He was purchased for $735,000 by agent David Meah on behalf of Chad Littlefield and Rockingham Ranch and then turned over to trainer Peter Miller.

Under his new connections, Conquest Farenheit won two stakes at 3, taking the Pasadena Stakes and the Baffle Stakes, both at Santa Anita Park. He completed his career with a second-place finish in the Rainbow Stakes.

Following his Pasadena Stakes win in wire-to-wire fashion by 2 1/4 lengths in 1:33.58, Miller said: "What a horse. This is a serious horse. For him to run that way with fast splits and come away like he did is pretty impressive. It showed he could get two turns, and it looked like he had another gear."

Conquest Farenheit earned $187,655 and is from the multiple stakes-producing Holy Bull mare Holy Smokie and the immediate family of prominent sire Clever Trick.
