Juddmonte Farms' Flintshire (GB) (Dansili {GB}) will stand for a fee of $20,000 at Hill 'n' Dale Farm in 2017, it was announced late Monday night. The celebrated globetrotter, who banked more than $9.5 million in earnings and won five Grade/Group 1 events throughout his career, retired after a runner-up finish behind Highland Reel (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) in the GI Longines Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita Nov. 5.
Flintshire's North American exploits impressed many, with a runner-up finish in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Turf and a powerhouse victory in the 2015 GI Sword Dancer S. at Saratoga for trainer Andre Fabre. Transferred permanently to the care of Chad Brown ahead of 2016, he won three straight races–including the GI Manhattan S. and Sword Dancer to kick off the year. He finished second over soft ground in the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic S. Oct. 1 prior to his final run in the Breeders' Cup.
