GSP Howling Time (Not This Time–Werewolf, by Arch) will stand as a new sire for 2026 at the Midwest Vet Hospital in Trafalgar, Indiana, according to Tommy Wente on Saturday who purchased the 6-year-old for an undisclosed amount in a deal brokered by Lisa Groothedde. Wente said that a stud fee will be determined at a later date.
Initially purchased during Keeneland September by Albaugh Family Stables for $200,000, as a juvenile Howling Time won at first asking under the Twin Spires then took home the Street Sense Stakes over the same course that fall. The following June the Dale Romans trainee finished as the runner-up to current sire Cyberknife (Gun Runner) in the GIII Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs.
Howling Time's dam is also responsible for current 4-year-old gelding Air Recruit (Air Force Blue)–a multiple stakes winner–and she handed the newly-minted Indiana stallion a full-sister named Bisclavret, who is a 2-year-old in-training with George Weaver.
“I'm glad to bring a classy stallion like this to Indiana,” said Tommy Wente. “I know the breeders will love him when they see him. He has that X factor for me and he was just a no-brainer when I saw him.”
