Live Oak homebred Awesome Slew (Awesome Again–Slewfoundmoney, by Seeking the Gold) has been retired to Ocala Stud and will stand the 2019 season for $5,000 S&N.
“We held high expectations for this horse from the start and he delivered on the racetrack,” said Live Oak Stud's General Manager Bruce Hill. “He is immensely talented, and we have always loved his family. We are thrilled to be able to stand Awesome Slew in Florida and especially excited to stand him at Ocala Stud. We have the utmost respect for the O'Farrell family and their entire staff and they do a tremendous job of developing top stallions.”
Conditioned by Mark Casse, Awesome Slew won a trio of graded events in his four years on the racetrack, capturing the 2016 GIII Smarty Jones S., the 2017 GIII Commonwealth S. And the same year's GIII Ack Ack S. He also placed in three top-level events, finishing second in both the 2017 GI Forego S. and 2018 GI Carter H. and third in the 2017 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. The 5-year-old retires with a record of 23-5-5-6 and earnings of $1,223,310.
“We appreciate the opportunity to partner with Live Oak to stand this exciting stallion prospect,” said Ocala Stud's David O'Farrell. “We're proud to be able to offer him to Florida's breeders.”
