Grade 1 winner Great Hunter to stand in Venezuela

Grade 1 winner Great Hunter will begin stud duty at Haras Los Samanes and Polo Racing in Venezuela.

Retired from racing after finishing sixth in the 2009 Donn Handicap (G1), Great Hunter won three of 17 starts and placed in six others, earning $976,260. He won the Lane´s End Breeders Futurity (G1) as a juvenile as he defeated Hopeful Stakes (G1)winner Circular Quay and champion two-year-old male Street Sense.

The six-year-old Aptitude horse also won the Robert B. Lewis Stakes (G2) at three on the way to a run in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1), where he finished 13th. He was fifth in the 2008 Emirates Airline Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1), won by two-time Horse of the Year Curlin.

Great Hunter is out of stakes winner Zenith, by South American leading sire Roy.

Great Hunter was bred in Pennsylvania by Ivy Dell Stud and was campaigned by J. Paul Reddam.
