Edited Press Release
WinStar Farm will host an Open House for breeders each day from Jan. 12-15, between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The open houses will be held at the farm's stallion complex on Paynes Mill Road in Versailles. Visitors are welcome without an appointment during those times to view the WinStar roster for the 2025 season, led by Constitution and Life Is Good. Breeders will also be able to see WinStar's newest additions for the breeding season: Eclipse Award finalist for Champion Male Sprinter Cogburn (Not This Time), 'TDN Rising Star' Heartland (Justify), and Timberlake (Into Mischief).
Cogburn set a record for 5 1/2 furlongs on turf in the GI Jaipur Stakes, completing the distance in a final time of :59.80. His clocking easily eclipsed the previous record of 1:00.21 while earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 114, the highest earned in 2024. He also proved an authoritative winner of the $2-million GII Turf Sprint S. at Kentucky Downs, running six furlongs on turf in 1:07.68, just missing another course record.
Heartland, a half-brother to Champion 2-Year-Old Classic Empire, flashed his brilliance in a head-turning career debut at Del Mar, taking a 5 1/2-furlong maiden while stopping the clock in 1:03.20, the fastest time of any 2-year-old at the distance at Del Mar or Saratoga in 2023. Timberlake is a winner of the stallion-making GI Champagne Stakes at two and joins Practical Joke as the only other son of Into Mischief at stud to win a Grade I as a 2-year-old.
The Open House events will include lite fare and refreshments for breeders in attendance. For more information about the open houses, or about WinStar's 2025 stallion roster, contact WinStar Farm at 859-873-1717.
