Multiple Grade 2 winner Too Much Bling to stand at Sequel for Stonewall

Audrey Haisfield's Stonewall Farm has acquired three-time graded stakes winner Too Much Bling. The three-year-old Rubiano colt will stand the 2007 breeding season at Sequel Stallions in Ocala for $10,000.
Too Much Bling won four of six starts this season, including the Carry Back (G2), San Vicente (G2), and Bay Shore (G3) Stakes. He also finished second to Songster in the Woody Stephens Breeders' Cup Stakes (G2) and defeated Cause to Believe in the San Miguel Stakes.
Too Much Bling finished sixth in the TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) on November 4 at Churchill Downs in his final career start.
"Talk about bling, this horse has a big-time reputation," Sequel owner Becky Thomas said. "The numbers say he was the fastest sophomore sprinter in America this year, and, as a grandson of Fappiano, he should be wildly popular in Florida."
Bob Baffert trained Too Much Bling for owners Stonerside Stable and Blazing Meadows Farm. Stonerside purchased a majority interest in the Ohio-bred colt after he won a maiden special weight race at Thistledown by 19 1/2 lengths in July 2005. Too Much Bling finished third in the '05 Hopeful Stakes (G1).
He won five of 11 starts overall and earned $509,674.
Bred by Destiny Farm, Too Much Bling is out of the stakes-winning Formal Dinner mare Rose Colored Lady, whose four starters are all stakes winners.
