Catalina Cruiser (Union Rags–Sea Gull, by Mineshaft), a five-time Grade II winner at a variety of distances, will move from Lane's End Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, to continue his stud career at Haras Porta Pia in Chile. The deal was brokered by Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock and J.P. Sullivan of Sullivan Bloodstock.
Winner of seven of his nine career starts for Hronis Racing and John Sadler, the 10-year-old is the sire of 53 individual winners to date and three stakes horses from his second crop, including GI Curlin Florida Derby runner-up Catalytic, a starter in this year's GI Kentucky Derby.
During the boutique summer meetings at Del Mar, the stallion was represented by maiden winner Artislas, a live chance in Sunday's GIII Del Mar Juvenile Turf, and Cruise to Catalina, a seven-length allowance winner versus New York-bred competition at Saratoga.
