Wagon Limit headed to Elm Grove in Louisiana
Posted: Thursday, January 17, 2008 5:40 PM
Wagon Limit, the sire of multiple Grade 1 winner Silver Wagon, will relocate to Moon Lake Farm in Elm Grove, Louisiana, for the 2008 season.
Winner of the 1998 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes (G1), Wagon Limit originally was scheduled to stand for $2,500 in 2008 at Arthur and Staci Hancock’s Stone Farm in Paris, Kentucky, where he had stood since 2000.
A 14-year-old by Conquistador Cielo out of Darlin Lindy, by Cox’s Ridge, Wagon Limit sired 57 winners from 77 starters who earned $4,761,676 through Wednesday.
Silver Wagon, who won the 2003 Hopeful Stakes (G1) and ’07 Carter Handicap (G1), is one of Wagon Limit’s four stakes winners.
Wagon Limit covered 48 mares in 2007.
“A sire with the credentials that Wagon Limit has deserves more support than he’s getting here in Kentucky,” Arthur Hancock said. “He sired a multiple Grade 1 winner in his first crop, has done extremely well in terms of improving his mares, and has had good percentages overall. We’re hoping he finds more opportunities in a different market.”
Bred in Florida, Wagon Limit won six of 20 career starts and earned $992,660 for owner-breeder Joseph Shields Jr.
