Grade I winner Cupid (Tapit) will stand the 2024 breeding season at Atlanta Hall in Monkton, Maryland, the farm announced on Monday. The 10-year-old, who previously stood at Ashford Stud in Versailles, KY, since 2018, will be Atlanta Hall's first stallion.
“This transfer from Coolmore's Ashford Stud in Kentucky to our prestigious and historic facility marks an exciting new chapter for both Cupid and Atlanta Hall Farm,” Garrett Murray, stallion manager and owner of Atlanta Hall, said. “We are honored to welcome Cupid to our esteemed stallion roster, and we look forward to working with breeders to bring his exceptional genetics to the next generation of champions.”
Trained by Bob Baffert, Cupid won the GI Gold Cup at Santa Anita, GII Rebel S., GII West Virginia Derby and GII Indiana Derby and amassed a career line of 13-6-1-0, $1,701,873. The third-crop stallion has been represented by seven stakes winners and four graded stakes winners overall and is the sire of this year's GI Summer S. winner Carson's Run, and GIII West Virginia Governor's S. winner Duke of Love.
Cupid will stand his initial season in the Mid-Atlantic region for a fee of $8,000, S&N.
