Gr.I Winner Greenpointcrusader Retired
Greenpointcrusader, a Gr.I winner and sibling to three rising stallions, has been retired from racing and will begin stallion duties at Ocala Stud in Ocala, Florida. “There’s a lot to like about this horse, and we believe breeders will really like him when they see him.“ said Ocala Stud’s Michael O’Farrell. His 2018 fee has been set at $5,000.
Greenpointcrusader won the 2015 Gr.I Champagne as a juvenile by 4 ½ legnths, defeating notable runners Ralis (Gr.I winner), Sunny Ridge, Magna Light and Tale of S'avall. As a sophomore, he finished second in the Gr.II Holy Bull Stakes to Mohaymen. He raced from age two to four, winning an allowance in 2017. Greenpointcrusader is a full brother to Gr.III winner and second-crop sire Algorithms, and a half-brother to stallions Justin Phillip and Keyed Entry, and Gr.III winner Successful Mission.
