Brooklyn H. (G2) winner LIMEHOUSE (Grand Slam), who finished a close sixth in
Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1), has been retired from racing and will enter
stud at Vinery near Lexington, Kentucky, where he will stand for a fee of
$17,500 live foal as the property of a syndicate.
Owned by Dogwood Stable, Limehouse broke his maiden at Keeneland in his first
start, then competed exclusively in stakes, 17 of them graded. Besides this
year’s Brooklyn, he won the Hutcheson S. (G2), Tampa Bay Derby (G3), Bashford
Manor S. (G3), Three Chimneys Juvenile S. and Alysheba S. He placed in five
other graded events, including last year’s Blue Grass S. (G1). Overall, he won
seven of 21 starts and earned $1,110,433.
Limehouse, a half-brother to 2005 U.A.E. Derby (UAE-G2) winner Blues and
Royals (Honour and Glory), is out of the Dixieland Band mare Dixieland Blues.
The chestnut four-year-old arrived at Vinery on Sunday.
