The partners Chester Thomas and Spendthrift Farm announced on Aug 24 that they have relocated their second-year stallion Mr. Money from Florida to Clear Creek Stud in Louisiana for the 2023 breeding season.
"I just really like the way the Louisiana program is heading," the owner/breeder said. "I think Mr. Money has everything it takes to be a successful sire, and I believe having him at a top farm in a growing regional market gives him the best chance to show what he can do.
“Most of my horses race in New Orleans in the winter anyway, and I'm sure going to have a lot of Louisiana-bred Mr. Money babies.
“I thought I might just as well take advantage of having Louisiana-sired as well as Louisiana-born Mr. Moneys.
Thomas bred 24 mares to Mr. Money in 2021 and 20 mares in 2022 when the horse entered stud at Journeyman Stallions, with 16 of those mares foaling in Louisiana this year. They also remain eligible for the Florida Stallion Stakes series.
