Graded stakes winner Beatbox (Pioneerof the Nile–Magical World, by Distorted Humor), winner of the 2024 GIII Fair Grounds S. and a half-brother to MGISW Guarana (Ghostzapper), has been retired from racing. The 6-year-old will be offered as a stallion prospect at the 2024 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale.
Consigned by Lane's End as Hip 3083, the dual-surface winner will be available for pre-sale inspection in Barn 6. He enters the auction ring Nov. 12.
Bred in Kentucky by Three Chimneys Farm and originally sold for $2.1 million as a Keeneland September yearling, Beatbox won six of 20 career starts and earned $427,248. He was campaigned by owners Jeff Ganje and Rob Comestro.
“Beatbox is the type of horse you love to train,” trainer Cherie DeVaux said. “He was solid and consistent in his races, and a joy around the barn.”
Ganje added, “Beatbox had a little setback in training, so our team collectively felt it was time to retire him We believe he is an outstanding and well-rounded stallion prospect, and we are excited to point him toward this next stage of his progression.”
