Chips Are Down retired to Godstone Farm

Posted: Tuesday, October 30, 2007 6:11 AM

Chips Are Down, a five-year-old stakes winner by Distorted Humor, has been retired and will stand his first season at stud at Godstone Farm in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, in 2008.

Chips Are Down will stand the 2008 season for $2,000. Owners of mares foaling in Pennsylvania will receive a $500 discount.

Trained by Bob Baffert on behalf of Robert and Beverly Lewis, Chips Are Down won three of 18 starts and earned $171,535. A two-time winner as a juvenile, he finished in front of eventual 2005 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Giacomo in an allowance race at Hollywood Park in November ‘04.

As a three-year-old, Chips Are Down won the $70,250 Bien Bien Stakes at Hollywood Park, defeating future Grade 1 winner Becrux (Ity), among others.

Bred in Kentucky by Charles Nuckols Jr. and sons, Chips Are Down is out of the winning Housebuster mare Tiy Buster. Bob and Beverly Lewis bought him for $450,000 at the 2003 Keeneland September yearling sale.
