Storm Military bound for United States

Castleton Lyons has acquired a 50 percent interest in multiple Argentinean Group 1 winner Storm Military (Bernstein) from Charles Blaquier's Haras La Biznaga, and

the five-year-old will ship to the United States to continue his racing career.

Bred by La Biznaga, the dark bay has won six of his nine career starts,

including the Joaquin S. de Anchorena (Arg-G1) at a mile in December and the

Miguel A. Martinez de Hoz (Arg-G1) in his most recent outing February 11. He set

a San Isidro course record in that race, going 2,000 meters in 1:56 4/5, and has

earned $69,422 to date. Storm Military will join trainer Bobby Frankel's stable

in the upcoming week.

"I expect Storm Military's performance in North America to further confirm

the strength and potential of the Bernstein bloodline," said Dr. Tony Ryan,

owner of Castleton Lyons. "Bernstein has had five Group 1 winners, 15 graded stakes

winners and 23 stakes winners. One in every seven of his horses in North America

is a stakes horse, even though he had relatively small crops prior to coming to

Castleton Lyons."

Ten-year-old Bernstein, a two-time Group 3 winner in Ireland, shuttles between

Castleton Lyons and Haras La Biznaga.
