The ownership group of All Bets Off p,2,1:50f; 3,1:48.3f ($2,130,458) is pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement to syndicate and stand the stallion.
All Bets Off will stand in Ohio beginning in 2017 at Hickory Lane Farm. In the meantime, he will continue to race until the end of this racing season.
All Bets Off has excelled at the sport's highest level for the past four seasons exhibiting all the characteristics necessary for a successful stallion: early two- and three-year-old speed, soundness, durability, a flawless gait, and a no-quit attitude.
He took his 1:50f mark at two on a five-eighths mile track winning the Matron. At three, while amassing nearly $1 million in earnings, he established his mark of 1:48.3f, winning his Hempt elimination. Among the other highlights of his stellar three-year-old season were victories in the Carl Milstein Memorial at Northfield Park, the Messenger in stakes record time, the Art Rooney elimination and final and the NYSS championship at Yonkers.
At four and five, he has continued to race and win at the very highest level, winning such prestigious stakes as the Confederation Cup and the Prix d'Été, both in stakes and track record times, while bankrolling an additional $1 million in additional earnings.
Kevin Greenfield, President of Hickory Lane Farm, recognizes All Bets Off as a perfect fit for the Ohio breeding program.
"All Bets Off has all the assets to be a successful sire. He is a tall, dark, handsome son of Bettors Delight who boasts a championship racing resume while possessing a strong maternal pedigree. He brings to Ohio a sire line that is lacking in this state and represents a wonderful outcross opportunity for breeders. We are thrilled he will be joining our other stallions at Hickory Lane."
