Revved Up (Candy Ride {Arg}–Storm Flag Flying, by Storm Cat), a multiple graded-stakes placed winner of $372,524, has been retired from racing and will enter stud at Lori and Francisco Bravo's River Oaks Farm in Sulphur, Oklahoma. He will stand for a fee of $2,000 as the property of the Revved Up syndicate.
A five-time winner at the races and placed in the GIII River City H. and GIII Arlington H., the Phipps-bred Revved Up, a $350,000 purchase out of the 2018 Fasig-Tipton July Horse of Racing Age Sale, is a son of the Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old filly of 2002, whose dam My Flag (Easy Goer) was–like Storm Flag Flying–won the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Revved Up's third dam is the legendary undefeated Personal Ensign (Private Account). This is also the female family of such worldwide stallions as Traditionally (Mr. Prospector), Miner's Mark (Mr. Prospector), Mr Speaker (Pulpit) and Fire Away.
Revved Up is bred on the extremely productive cross of Candy Ride over Storm Cat responsible for the likes of Horse of the Year Gun Runner and champion Shared Belief, among others.
“We are very excited about having him,” said Francisco Bravo. “He's a really well-bred horse. Candy Ride is a tremendous stallion and so are many of his sons, and the race record and pedigree of Storm Flag Flying speaks for itself. Revved Up had most of his success going long on the turf, but when you look at his bloodlines he should be a versatile stallion and we think he's going to generate a lot of interest among Oklahoma breeders.”
River Oaks also stands Atreides (Medaglia d'Oro), Caleb's Posse (Posse), Excaper (Exchange Rate) and Wilburn (Bernardini).
