St. Patrick's Day (Pioneerof the Nile), the full-brother to Triple Crown winner and Coolmore stallion American Pharoah, has been re-acquired by his breeder Summer Wind Farm, the farm announced via social media Tuesday. Having previously stood at stud at Florida's Journeyman Stud, the 10-year-old stallion was entered in this year's Keeneland January Sale but was withdrawn.
“With St Patrick's Day's arrival to the farm earlier this winter, Jane also completed her own very special set of nine horses,” the post reads. “She now owns all the offspring of Littleprincessemma (Yankee Gentleman) that she bred since the moment she acquired the eventual Broodmare of the Year for $2.1 million in 2014 when “Emma” was carrying St Patrick's Day in utero.”
The post notes that St. Patrick's Day has joined another of his half-siblings in Triple Tap (Tapit) at the farm and that “nothing has been ruled out or in for either horse's future.”
