Stakes-winner Invader (War Front–Say {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) will begin his stud career in 2024 at Carmine Spinella's Pegasus Stud in Colts Neck, New Jersey. The 6-year-old, who is a full-brother to Grade I winner Fog of War, won the 2020 John Battaglia Memorial S. and was second in that year's GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks. On the board in seven of 11 starts, he won three times and earned $223,025.
“Invader has a world-class pedigree, excellent conformation and size.” said Rick Sacco, who brokered the deal to bring the stallion to New Jersey. “The stakes winner hails from a very live female family. His 2-year-old half-sister by Justify recently sold for $556,042 at Goffs.”
Spinella added, “I told Rick that we had to have a stallion that complemented our current stud Sea Wizard (Uncle Mo). I wanted to offer New Jersey breeders a stallion with a top-class pedigree for turf. I'm very excited about standing a horse like Invader at my newly acquired farm and to offer this type of pedigree.”
Invader is currently boarded at Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky where he is test breeding mares.
