Gr.1 Arkansas Derby winner Charlatan has been retired from racing and will take up stud duty at Hill 'n' Dale's newly restored stallion complex in Kentucky.
Bred by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings LLC, the imposing son of Eclipse champion Speightstown out of Breeders’ Cup Distaff placed Authenticity, he sold as the second-highest priced colt for his sire at the 2018 Keeneland September Yearling Sale, where he was knocked down for US$700,000.
The supremely talented colt raced for owners SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables LLC, Stonestreet Stables LLC, Hertrich, III, Frederick, Fielding, John D. and Golconda Stables, finishing his career with a record of 4 wins by a combined 26 and a half lengths and a second (His only defeat came in the US$20 million Saudi Cup where he was edged out at the wire, running a gallant second to Mishriff) from 5 starts with career earnings of US$4,047,200.
Other stallions standing at Hill n Dale include Army Mule, Bayern, Curlin, Flintshire(GB), Ghostzapper, Good Magic, Kantharos, Kitten's Joy, Lost Treasure(Ire), Maclean's Music Midnight Lute, Mucho Macho Man, Stormy Atlantic, Violence, and World of Trouble.
