Weekend Hideaway to Stand at Irish Hill and Dutchess Views

Weekend Hideaway | Sarah K. Andrew

Weekend Hideaway (Speightstown–Apocalyptical, by Wiseman's Ferry), a winner of stakes races in seven consecutive years in New York, has been retired from racing and will stand his first season at stud in 2019 under the management of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions LLC in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Campaigned by Michael Hoffman's Red and Black Stable and trained by Phil Serpe, Weekend Hideaway won a total of nine stakes races, perhaps highlighted by a dominant score in the 2015 Sunshine Millions Sprint S. at Gulfstream Park. He subsequently earned a Grade I placing when third in the 2016 GI Vosburgh S. at Belmont. Weekend Hideaway retires with a record of 13-7-10 from 49 starts and career earnings of $1,144,922.

“The recent great news that the New York Stallion Stakes Series purse values have doubled for New York-based sire's progeny makes a precocious sire like Weekend Hideaway especially attractive,” said Michael Lischin from Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions. “His 2-year-olds will be eligible for purses of up to $500,000 per race and millions of dollars of enriched restricted purses thereafter.”

As part of the Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions roster, Weekend Hideaway will stand at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater.
