Midland Acres has announced that the inaugural book of 2017 North America Cup champion Fear The Dragon is now full and closed.

The multiple Grand Circuit-winning son of Dragon Again posted marks of 1:50.3f at two and 1:48.4 at three, amassing career earnings of $1,578,547. His other major victories this year at three included the $500,000 Max Hempt Memorial (elimination and final), the $400,000 Adios (elimination and final), the $206,000 Tattersalls Pace, and the first heat of the $500,000 Little Brown Jug.

Fear The Dragon is now owned by a syndicate compromised of his original owner Emerald Highlands Farm, syndicate manager Midland Acres, and breeders across North America.

Bruce Trogdon's Emerald Highlands Farm is retaining a majority interest in the stallion. "I want to thank everyone that has joined me in supporting Fear The Dragon, either by buying shares or booking their mare," said Trogdon. "I will be breeding the majority of my broodmares to the stallion, including Dan Patch Horses of The Year like Colors A Virgin, Jerseylicious and the newly crowned Blazin Britches."
