Brittany Farms LLC, Christina Takter, John Fielding and Herb Liverman have announced that Dont Letem (Muscle Hill-Passageway-Angus Hall) 2,1:51.4; 3,1:50.2 ($605,083) will stand his first season at stud in Indiana at Ivy Lane Farm.
Trained at two by Jimmy Takter and at three and four by Nancy Takter, Dont Letem showcased extreme early speed at two when he established a stakes and track record on Hambletonian Day in 1:51.4 in winning the prestigious $422,350 Peter Haughton Memorial by open lengths, defeating the likes of Greenshoe and Green Manalishi S. He went on that year to earn $238,617 in a very successful freshman campaign.
Dont Letem continued his success at three, winning the Reynolds Memorial in a lifetime best 1:50.2. After finishing a fast closing second in the $450,000 Kentucky Futurity, he overpowered a strong field and set a new 1:51.4 track record at Hoosier Park in the $220,000 Carl Erskine Memorial.
Dont Letem’s dam, Passageway, hails from royal bloodlines. She is the great-granddaughter of the classic foundation mare Winkys Gill, who represents one of the finest maternal trotting bloodlines the sport has to offer.
Dont Letem will stand his inaugural season at a service fee of $3,500 and will be syndicated.
