Multiple group stakes winner Lear Spear, who made only one start this season, will enter stud in 2002 at Rathbarry Stud in County Cork, Ireland. The six-year-old son of Lear Fan out of Golden Gorse, by His Majesty, will stand for $2,240.

Bred in Kentucky by Juan Carlos Bago, Lear Spear's biggest win came in the 1999 Prince of Wales's Stakes (Eng-G2). He also won that year's Diomed Stakes (Eng-G3) and the Select Stakes (Eng-G3).

Lear Spear was third in the 2000 Juddmonte International Stakes (Eng-G1) behind Giant's Causeway and fellow Irish-bred Kalanisi.

Rathbarry's sister operation Glenview Farm in County Cork plans to stand Group/Grade 2 winner Blueprint (Ire), who was retired earlier this fall after a successful stint in the United States.

The six-year-old son of Generous out of Highbrow, by Shirley Heights, will stand his first season for $1,792.

Blueprint won seven of 17 career starts, including the 2000 Jockey Club Stakes (Eng-G2), for $563,947 in earnings.
