GSW Dennis' Moment (Tiznow) will stand the 2024 breeding season at Golden Creek Equine in Cheyenne, Wyoming, part-owner CJ Thoroughbreds said in a release Wednesday.
The 6-year-old is co-owned by Eugene Joyce and will stand for a fee of $1,500. A limited number of lifetime breeding rights are also available.
Although Wyoming has a long history of horse racing and is the final resting place of the sport's first Triple Crown winner, Sir Barton, the state's live racing scene nearly disappeared until HHR was legalized a decade ago. Since then, horse racing has seen a resurgence with $5.2 million awarded to owners, breeders and stallion owners who participated in the Wyoming Breeders Awards Program in 2022.
“I was around Dennis' Moment early in his career and was really impressed with his brilliance, looks and class,” said Corey Johnsen of CJ Thoroughbreds. “It is an honor to own him now and be able to offer a stallion of his quality to breeders in Wyoming and the region. The Cheyenne location makes him accessible to mare owners in Colorado and Nebraska.”
Golden Creek Equine encompasses 100 acres near Cheyenne with another Wyoming location of 2,400 acres.
