Mary Lightner and Lisa Goodin's Shooting Star Thoroughbreds' Chance It (Currency Swap–Vagabon Diva, by Pleasantly Perfect) will stand at Sarah and Tommy Doyle's Willow Hill Equestrian in Orange, Virginia in 2025.
After standing three years in Florida at Journeyman Stud, an opportunity arose to relocate the multiple stakes winner to Virginia for stallion duties in 2025.
His fee for 2025 will be $2,000, live foal, stands and nurses.
“We appreciate the dedication and excellent stallion management that Brent and Crystal Fernung and their team provided Chance It at their facility,” said Shooting Star General Manager Mary Lightner. “We evaluated which direction would make the most impact for Chance It as a maturing stallion moving forward and arrived at the decision that Virginia met our criteria best.”
Standing in Virginia will allow Chance It to be eligible for the Virginia Thoroughbred Association (VTA) stallion and breeder benefits and incentives.
During three seasons on the track, Chance It amassed $583,330 in career earnings winning multiple stakes from six furlongs to over a mile at two, and was named FTBOA Champion 2-year-old in 2019. At three, he won the Mucho Macho Man Stakes and at four was graded stakes placed, finishing third in the GI Forego Stakes and second in the GIII Smile Sprint Invitational Stakes.
His first-crop yearlings will soon be 2-year-olds in January 2025.
