Liaison retired to Spendthrift
|
Grade 1 winner Liaison has been retired and will stand the 2014 breeding season at B. Wayne Hughes' Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, for a fee of $10,000 stands & nurses. "Liaison retires as a very sound horse after racing at the highest of levels for three straight years, and we're happy to have him at the farm and available for breeders to come out and see," said Ned Toffey, Spendthrift general manager. "Liaison is a tremendous-looking individual with great conformation, and obviously he's a Grade 1-winning two-year-old by Indian Charlie, like Uncle Mo. We believe breeders are going to love him." Campaigned by trainer Bob Baffert and owners Arnold & Ellen Zetcher, the four-year-old Indian Charlie colt is a multiple graded stakes winner who earned his biggest career victory in the $750,000 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park as a two-year-old.

Earlier at two, Liaison broke his maiden at Santa Anita and won the Real
Quiet S. at Hollywood, before closing his juvenile campaign out with a
three-race win streak that culminated in the CashCall. Liaison was ranked in the
top five of weighted two-year-olds in North America on the 2011 Experimental
Free Handicap at 120 pounds.
At three, Liaison raced exclusively in top graded stakes, placing in the Jim
Dandy, Swaps and Affirmed. In 2013, he captured the Santana Mile S. at Santa
Anita in his seasonal debut in March before winning the Grade 2 Mervyn LeRoy at
Hollywood in May over Kettle Corn.
An earner of $767,288 from an 18-5-2-4 career record, Liaison joins Uncle Mo
as the only Grade 1-winning juveniles at stud by the late Indian Charlie. He's
out of the multiple stakes-winning mare Galloping Gal.
