Grade 2 winner Dream Run has been relocated for the 2008 breeding season to George Brown’s Briar Hill Farm in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.
The Cherokee Run horse out of Miss Dreamland, by Naevus, will stand for $1,500 as property of a syndicate. Dream Run stood for $5,000 since entering stud in 2004, and spent last season at Empire Stud in Hudson, New York.
“Dream Run is the kind of sire who is well suited for Massachusetts racing and the lucrative breeders awards,” syndicate manager Ken Posco said. “Dirt sprinting is the name of the game at Suffolk Downs and he possesses the speed and class to fill the bill.”
Dream Run is the sire of five winners in two crops of racing age who compiled $148,726 in purse earnings through Monday. The bay horse is a half brother to stakes-placed winner Greeley Land.
John Murphy Sr.’s Dream Run concluded his four-year racing career in 2003 with five wins from 25 starts and $456,734 in earnings. Dream Run won the 2002 Gulfstream Park Breeders’ Cup Sprint Championship Handicap (G2) for trainer Paul McGee and placed in three additional graded stakes races.
Dream Run earned his first career stakes victory in the 2001 Perryville Stakes at Keeneland Race Course.
