Gary Barber's Jack Milton (War Front–Preserver, by Forty Niner) has been retired from racing and will be offered as a stallion prospect by Bluewater sales at the Fasig-Tipton November sale. Catalogued as hip 188, the Todd Pletcher trainee scored his signature win in April's GI Maker's 46 Mile. He also annexed the 2013 GIII Transylvania S. and 2014 GIII Poker S., and hit the board in an additional five graded stakes, including three at the highest level. From 19 career starts, the dark bay 5-year-old posted a 5-2-5 record with earnings of $853,828.
“He is very handsome and correct, best at a mile and won graded stakes at three, four and five,” said Bluewater's Meg Levy. “Add together War Front and Jack Milton's female family and he has many qualities breeders value in a stallion. He was bred by Seth Hancock's Cherry Valley Farm, from a productive Claiborne family and close up in his pedigree are Eclipse champion juvenile War Pass and GI Spinaway S. winner Oath.”
Jack Milton is a full-brother to GSW Peace Preserver, and a half to graded stakes-placed Stake (Boundary) and My Rachel (Horse Chestnut {SAf}).
He will be prepared for the Nov. 1 sale at Bluewater Farm in Lexington, and will available for inspection by appointment until Oct. 29.
