Musclesprinctonian, a son of Muscle Hill from the Breeders Crown champion mare Broadway Schooner, will stand his inaugural season at the Schwartz Boarding Farm in Berne, Indiana.

Musclesprinctonian will stand for $2,500.

From an active family, the strapping five-year-old is a half brother to this year’s Dan Patch two-year-old trotting filly champion, Broadway Donna 2, 1:53.3 ($531,286).

His introduction to the lucrative Indiana program represents a great opportunity to book a mare to a royally-bred son of arguably the hottest trotting sire of the decade.

He is the first foal from the multiple stakes winning mare Broadway Schooner 3,1:53.3 ($885,933), who won the Hambletonian Oaks, a heat of the Kentucky Futurity and the Breeders Crown at three, earning her Dan Patch award honours in 2009.

Broke and baby-raced by Jim Campbell, the successful conditioner noted, “As the first colt from that good mare we were excited about Musclesprinctonian. He was good-gaited, had a great attitude and was well mannered. Training down and baby racing he did everything right and only wore a set of trotting boots. He has a long barrel and stands about 15 and a half hands. He is a nice horse and built like a trotter.”

Although lightly raced on the Grand Circuit, Musclesprincetonian did compete against some of the top colts of his freshman season, including Trixton, Nuncio and E L Titan. He took a qualifying mark of 1:56.3 at Lexington at age two, and won at Pocono in 1:55.3f at 3.

Talented mid-western reinsman Tyler Buter, who also trained and drove the horse, stated that, “he was the cleanest gaited trotter I ever sat behind. You could drive him with two fingers and race him any way you wanted...on the front end or off cover.”

Able to get around any sized track, as a four-year-old he was race-timed in 1:57.2h at Yonkers. In 12 starts at four he was ‘seven times 1-2-3’ and earned $69,280 lifetime.
