In a deal brokered by Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock and J.P. Sullivan of Sullivan Bloodstock, GI Preakness winner Rombauer (by Twirling Candy), who stood his first season this year at War Horse Place in Lexington, Kentucky, will be shuttling to Chile, according to a press release from Bowling Bloodstock on Friday.
The John Fradkin homebred broke his maiden at first asking at Del Mar during the summer of 2020 and was the runner-up in the GI American Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita in late September. As a 3-year-old, Rombauer was third in GII Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland before conquering the second leg of the Triple Crown at double-digit odds.
Now a six-year-old, the son of Twirling Candy–who stood his first season in 2024 for an advertised fee of $6,000 LFSN–will take up residence at Haras Porta Pia in Chile.
