Jump Start to stand at Ghost Ridge in Pennsylvania

Posted: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 12:17 PM

by Jeff Lowe

Jump Start, the sire of TVG/Betfair Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (G1) winner Rail Trip, will stand the 2010 season at Tarry Bratton’s Ghost Ridge Farm in Felton, Pennsylvania.

Ghost Ridge and shareholders acquired a 75% interest in the A.P. Indy stallion for Northern Hemisphere duty. A limited number of shares are still available. He is currently standing the Southern Hemisphere season at Haras la Esperanza in Argentina for partners in the other 25% interest.

Jump Start will stand for $10,000 at Ghost Ridge. He previously stood at the Young family’s Overbrook Farm in Lexington.

Out of Steady Cat, by Storm Cat, Jump Start has sired 18 stakes winners in four crops of racing age. Rail Trip, who will make his next start in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), is one of Jump Start’s five graded stakes winners, along with Bold Start, Sir Whimsey, Assessment, and Jump On In.

His daughter Copper State, a multiple stakes winner, finished second in the 2008 Ruffian Handicap (G1) and third in the Beldame Stakes (G1) on October 3.

Overbrook bred and raced Jump Start, who won the 2001 Saratoga Special Stakes (G2) and finished third in the Champagne Stakes (G1).

David Hager of Idle Hour Farm and Bloodstock brokered the deal with Matt Bowling and Jamie LaMonica of The Stallion Company.
