Wicked Strong Heading to Spendthrift Farm

We are absolutely thrilled that Wicked Strong will be retiring to Spendthrift Farm in Lexington at the conclusion of his racing career. B. Wayne Hughes and his team have assembled one of the best young stallion rosters in the nation. The top twenty leading first and second-crop sire lists both have multiple Spendthrift representatives, including Archarcharch and Warrior’s Reward. The elder statesman of the Spendthrift roster, Malibu Moon, is a Top-10 sire whose progeny include a Kentucky Derby winner. There is little doubt that the current residents are well on their way to living up to the history of one of Kentucky’s great properties. Two Triple Crown winners, multiple Kentucky Derby winners, and several leading sires have called Spendthrift home.

Wicked Strong is a natural for Spendthrift’s prestigious roster. As a Grade 1 winner of over $1.9 million, he stands to be among the leading earners in the star-studded stallion barn. Wicked Strong is the natural next step toward carrying the immortal Danzig blood into another generation. He is the most accomplished offspring of one of Danzig’s best sons in Hard Spun. That noteworthy pedigree is joined by classic good looks to make Wicked Strong a can’t-miss stallion prospect.

“You would be hard-pressed to find a better physical from the Danzig line,” said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift general manager. “He’s an exceptional-looking horse and full of class and quality.”

Those with faith in his ability to produce top-class offspring will be rewarded through Spendthrift’s renowned “Share the Upside” program which allows early pioneers to obtain lifetime breeding rights. He is currently available for a $10,000 fee, which is subject to change pending the results of Wicked Strong’s next start – the prestigious G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Keeneland.
