Alfred Pais's homebred Brickyard Ride (Clubhouse Ride–Brickyard Helen, by Southern Image), a multiple graded stakes winner who campaigned from ages two to seven, has been retired and will stand the 2025 season at Rancho San Miguel in Central California. His introductory fee will be $4,000, live foal guarantee.
“He had wicked speed, and he stuck around for a long time,” said trainer Craig Lewis, who trained both Brickyard Ride and his sire, Clubhouse Ride. “He was a very, very talented horse who loved to train, and he loved the competition, just like his daddy.”
Last seen finishing second earlier this year to The Chosen Vron (Vronsky) in the California Cup Sprint Stakes, Brickyard Ride's eight black-type victories include the GII San Carlos Stakes and two editions of the GIII Kona Gold Stakes. He retires with a record of 31-13-2-6 and earnings of $925,477.
“We are blessed to have such a talented athlete join our stallion roster,” said Rancho San Miguel's Tom Clark. “As has been observed by many smart horsemen over the years, you cannot coach speed.”
Brickyard Ride is available for inspection at Rancho San Miguel, where he will stand as the property of Pais.
