Legacy Ranch to stand Papa Clem

Bo Hirsch’s homebred multiple Grade 2 winner Papa Clem will begin his stallion career at Pete and Evelyn Parrella’s Legacy Ranch in Clements, California, making the four-year-old the only son of Smart Strike scheduled to stand stud west of the Rockies in 2010.

Hirsch and the Parrellas will own 51% of the stallion and syndicate the rest with an advertised stud fee of $7,500. Papa Clem last raced on January 16, when he won the San Fernando Stakes (G2) by a half-length in his four-year-old debut, which was his final start. Pete Parrella said that Papa Clem would be ready for service by early March.

“The ranch is excited, but I think this is really good for California,” Pete Parrella said of Legacy standing the Golden State’s only stallion by Smart Strike. “We need something out here to get excited about, and having a new sire by Smart Strike fits.”

Papa Clem won three of 13 starts and earned $1,121,190. He won the Arkansas Derby (G2) last year before finishing fourth in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) and sixth to eventual Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the BlackBerry Preakness Stakes (G1). He placed in four other stakes races, including runner-up finishes in a pair of Grade 2 Triple Crown preps and a third in the Malibu Stakes (G1) at seven furlongs.

Hirsch bred Papa Clem in Kentucky out of Miss Houdini, a Grade 1 winner whose dam is multiple Grade 1 winner Magical Maiden, who is from a family that includes the stakes-winning sires Magical Mile, Avies Copy, and Hot War.
