The first person to breed a non-restricted stakes winner from first-year Pennsylvania stallion Peace and Justice (War Front) will become eligible to receive a $250,000 bonus, it was announced Wednesday. Peace and Justice, a three-time winning miler, is the only son of War Front standing in Pennsylvania. David Ingordo purchased him for $425,000 at the 2011 Keeneland September yearling sale.
“He was a gorgeous yearling,” Ingordo said. “[He had a] strong, athletic walk. A really well-balanced War Front colt with a lot of scope. From the first day we put tack on him at Mayberry Farm, we always felt he was special.”
Out of the winning Smart Strike mare Strike the Sky, Peace and Justice is a half-brother to Grade II winner Hudson Steele (Johannesburg) and the dam of Grade I-placed dirt runner My Man Sam (Trappe Shot).
“We are excited about the potential Peace and Justice has to become the next top sire in Pennsylvania,” said Steve Young, owner of A1A Racing, which stands the stallion. “He has all the attributes you could want in a son of War Front. We hope this bonus will help attract the best possible mares, giving him every chance to become a dominant force in this region.”
Peace and Justice stands for $3,500 at Glenn and Becky Brok's Diamond B Farm in Mohrsville, Pennsylvania.
According to the website PeaceAndJusticePA.com, “A bonus payment of $250,000 shall be paid to the official breeder of record with the Jockey Club of the first offspring of Peace and Justice to win a non-restricted stake race during the period commencing January 1, 2020, and ending December 31, 2021. To be eligible for the bonus, the horse must be declared the official winner of the non-restricted stake race and not be subsequently disqualified as the winner of the race.
