September 25, 2018. Northview Stallion Station Press Release
Classic-placed Irish War Cry, one of the most dynamic runners of his generation, has been retired and will enter stud at Northview Stallion Station in Chesapeake City, Md., for the 2019 season.
Led by a $600,000 Medaglia d'Oro filly out of multiple graded stakes winner Daring Dancer, a total of 16 Maryland-bred yearlings exited the ring as sold at Keeneland’s mammoth September Yearling Sale, held Sept. 10-23 in Lexington, Ky. Selling for a combined $2.3 million, the Maryland-bred average was $143,813 (the sale’s overall average was $129,331), and median $82,500 (compared to $50,000 for the entire sale).
Longtime horseman Bill Boniface fully supports recent changes to revive the Maryland horseracing industry. He particularly likes a measure that awards a $500,000 bonus to the connections of a Maryland-bred Preakness winner. He would like to see one amendment, however.
