Graded stakes winner Name Changer (Uncle Mo–Cash's Girl, by Northern Afleet) will enter stud next year at Peter Kazamias's Kaz Hill Farm in Middletown, New York. A homebred runner for Richard Santulli's Colts Neck Stables, the 7-year-old won the 2018 GIII Monmouth Cup S. He was also third in the 2016 GII West Virginia Derby. On the board in 18 of 24 starts, Name Changer won eight times and earned $567,080. He will stand for a fee of $2,500 live foal, stands and nurses, as property of Kaz Hill Farm. A limited number of lifetime breeding rights are also available.
“Anyone paying attention to the leading sire lists knows something big is happening when it comes to Uncle Mo,” said Kazamias. “Not only does Uncle Mo himself have 14 graded stakes winners in 2020, more than any other stallion in the United States, but his sons Nyquist, Laoban and Outwork rank first, second and fourth on the North American leading first-crop sire list. With a powerful build reminiscent of his sire, and his undeniable racing class, it's easy to imagine Name Changer carrying on that tradition.”
Bloodstock agent Michael Slezak, who serves as Kaz Hill's manager of bloodstock, brokered the deal to buy Name Changer.
