The breeding shed and walking ring at Stonewall[/FONT]
Date: 01/16/2009 We visited Stonewall Farm on Saturday for a quick stop between Lane's End and Three Chimneys. The facility was built in 2006 and so is very modern in appearance. Stallions were shown in the open area in the center of the stallion barn, which is normally lit by skylights but was dark due to the overcast conditions outside. Due to time constraints we were only able to see four of their currently full house of 12 stallions, which also includes such stakes winners as Lawyer Ron, Leroidesanimaux, and A.P. Warrior.

He retired with a record of 8 wins and 7 seconds in 17 starts and $5,754,720 in earnings for owner Edmund Gann and trainer Bobby Frankel. At stud, the son of El Prado out of Balijumper mare Cappucino Bay has sired stakes winners Retraceable, C.S. Silk, Rachel Alexandra, Renda, and Retraceable. He is the highest priced stallion at Stonewall, commanding a $40,000 fee.
