Grade I winner Poseidon's Warrior (Speightstown), sire of GISW Firenze Fire, will relocate from Pleasant Acres Farm in Ocala, Florida to join the stallion roster at John Phillips's Darby Dan Farm in 2019, it was announced Sunday. The stallion will be offered as part of Darby Dan's “Share the Upside” program and will stand for a fee of $6,500 in 2019.

“There's a lot to like about Poseidon's Warrior, and we are excited to add him to our roster,” said Ryan Norton, stallion director at Darby Dan Farm. “He has a stallion's pedigree and hails from a strong female family. He was exceptionally fast, running six triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures, he is a proven Grade I winner, and is already making a name for himself as a sire. He represents a great opportunity for breeders through our Share the Upside program, and we invite people to come out and see him. We are confident breeders are really going to like him.”

Poseidon's Warrior won five stakes for Swilcan Stable and trainer Butch Reid, including the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H., and notched an overall record of 7-2-4 from 21 starts with earnings of $701,147. He became Florida's leading freshman sire of 2017, spearheaded by the success of Firenze Fire, who won last year's Champagne and GIII Sanford S. The Jason Servis trainee maintained his sharp form in 2018, capturing the GIII Dwyer S. and GIII Gallant Bob S.

Poseidon's Warrior is available for immediate inspection. For more information, contact Norton at 859-254-0424 or via email at [email protected].
