O’Brien Award winner Windsong Espoir has been syndicated by Walnut Hall Ltd. and will stand at Westwind Farm in Strathroy, Ontario for a fee of $3,500

.

Alan J. Leavitt, President of Walnut Hall Ltd., stated that over his many years in the breeding business, it became clear that the best indicator of a stallion’s real potential as a sire was his performance on the racetrack at two.

As a two-year-old, Windsong Espoir won $708,004 and nine straight stakes races by a combined 45 ¾-lengths. He was the overwhelming choice for the O’Brien Award as Champion Two-Year-Old Trotting Colt.

A son of leading sire Kadabra, out of Diamond Image, by Balanced Image, Windsong Espoir is a well-bred outcross for all of the other popular trotting bloodlines of the present day. Leavitt added that a few shares in Windsong Espoir were still available, and further information about his syndication was available through Steve Katz at (859) 254-2776.
