Group 1 winner Long River (A.P. Indy–Round Pond, by Awesome Again) has been retired to stud at Anchor & Hope Farm in Port Deposit, MD, joining the likes of Holy Boss and Imagining. The 8-year-old will stand for a fee of $5,000 LFSN.
The Godolphin homebred started his career in New York under the care of Kiaran McLaughlin, where he won a pair of listed stakes and finished third in the 2014 GI Jockey Club Gold Cup S. He was sent to Dubai-based conditioner Salem Bin Ghadayer in 2015 and achieved a career high at Meydan Racecourse, winning the G1 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3 in March 2017. The chestnut retired with a record of 27-5-4-2 and earnings of $770,347.
Long River is the first foal out of 2006 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Round Pond, who was purchased by Godolphin for $5.75 million at the 2007 Fasig-Tipton November Sale.
