Grade 1-placed, graded stakes winner and freshman sire Flashback has been relocated to Glenn and Becky Brok's Diamond B Farm near Mohrsville, Pa., for the 2019 breeding season.
Owned by Gary and Mary West, Flashback is the sire of grade 1-placed winner Boujie Girl and Tripwire, who came in second by a half-length in the Grey Stakes (G3) at Woodbine in his second start.
Flashback was bred in Kentucky by Dr. William Andrade and Michael Hernon out of the winning Mr. Greeley mare Rhumb Line. Besides Flashback, the mare has produced grade 1 winner Zazu, graded-placed winner Art Princess, and black-type winner Corinthian's Jewel.
The 8-year-old son of Tapit was trained by Bob Baffert for all but one of his starts. At 3, he won the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G2) and was runner-up in the San Felipe Stakes (G2) and Santa Anita Derby (G1). He retired with a 2-3-1 record in seven starts and earned $405,730.
"We are very excited about Flashback coming to Diamond B. He has active 2-year-olds, and they are doing well," said farm owner Glenn Brok. "We have so much respect for Gary and Mary West and are happy they have chosen to enter the lucrative Pennsylvania breeding market. The state-bred program has a lot to offer breeders, and Flashback will enhance their choices when it comes time to book their mares."
Flashback will stand for $3,500 in 2019, with a live foal guarantee and special consideration given to mares foaling in Pennsylvania. In 2018, he stood for $5,000 at Hill 'n' Dale Farms in Lexington.
