Juddmonte announces 2021 US mating plans

Juddmonte is pleased to announce the 2021 mating plans for some of its high-profile horses in the US.

In June 2020 Juddmonte suffered a major setback with the loss of champion Arrogate. In his first and only three seasons he was heavily supported by top Juddmonte families. For 2021, it was imperative that Juddmonte bridged that gap with some other top stallions in Kentucky.

Exciting young stallion Constitution will receive ample support from Juddmonte including Eclipse Award Champion Older Mare Close Hatches, whose first foal, multi-millionaire and multiple Graded Stakes winner Tacitus, will be competing in the upcoming $20 million Saudi Cup. Also visiting Constitution will be Gr.1 Alcibiades winner Spring In The Air.

Soothing Touch, whose first foal was a four-time Gr.1 winner in Emollient, will be visiting perennial leading sire Curlin. Soothing Touch has a two-year-old Arrogate filly named Mount Ararat.

Emollient, winner of Gr.1s such as the Rodeo Drive, Juddmonte Spinster, American Oaks and Central Bank Ashland, will be visiting champion general sire Into Mischief. Also visiting Into Mischief is Hachita, dam of Gr.1 winner Announce and a total of four Graded Stakes horses.

Winner of the Gr.1 Just a Game, Antonoe, will be visiting perennial leading sire Speightstown. Antonoe’s first foal, a now two-year-old colt by War Front named Parade Square, will be one to watch.

Winner of the Gr. 1 Humana Distaff and Madison, Paulassilverlining will be visiting Tapit along with super producer Rising Tornado, herself the dam of champion Close Hatches and the multiple Graded Stakes placed Lockdown.

Quality Road, War Front, Munnings, Not This Time and Violence are among other sires that Juddmonte will be using in the US this year.
