  • War Dancer Returns to Rockridge Stallion Roster
    09/27/2024

    The 14-year-old son of War Front is New York's current leading turf sire.

    • By Eric Mitchell The BloodHorse

    War Dancer  , who is New York's current leading turf sire and top five sire overall, is returning to Rockridge Stud for the 2025 breeding season, the farm announced Sept. 26.

    The 14-year-old millionaire and multiple graded stakes-winning son of War Front   began his stud career at Rockridge Stud in 2017. Since 2019, he has been part of the Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallion roster, standing each year for $7,500.

    War Dancer's owner Robin Malatino said she was thrilled to partner again with Rockridge and sees a brighter future ahead for War Dancer because of the improvements at Belmont Park.

    "With the introduction of Tapeta at Belmont, he can only improve on his already great stallion career," she said.

    War Dancer is a millionaire who did his best running on the grass as a winner of the Virginia Derby (G2T) and Louisville Handicap (G3T). He also was runner-up in the Man o' War Stakes (G1T) at Belmont. As a sire, he's been represented by New York turf stakes winners Dancing Buck , Step Dancer , and Mz Big Bucks . His progeny to date have collectively earned more than $9.5 million.

    "The War Dancer Team supports their stallion at every level and we are looking forward to contributing to War Dancer's continued success," said Rockridge owner and manager Lere Visagie.

    War Dancer and Rockridge also announce an exciting program that will provide breeders the opportunity to participate in War Dancer's success. Limited share availability in the newly formed  "War Dancer Legacy Club" is now being offered to select breeders.

    War Dancer joins the Hudson, N.Y., farm's roster that also includes Americanrevolution  , Disco Partner  , Mind Control  , Slumber  , and Tourist  .
