I'll Have Another to Enter Stud In Japan
Dual classic winner I'll Have Another will enter stud at Big Red Farm in Japan, according to owner J. Paul Reddam.
"I am sad that he is not going to stand in America," said Reddam, who bought the son of Flower Alley through agent Dennis O'Neill for $35,000 as a 2-year-old in training and won the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) and the Preakness Stakes (gr. I).
"I would have loved to have bred to him," Reddam said. "It seems to me that if the goal in American racing is to win the Kentucky Derby, you should breed to horses that have enough stamina and are game enough to win the Derby, but I guess I'm in the minority."
According to Reddam's adviser, Jamie McCalmont, a bloodstock agent based in England who brokered the deal, there had been plenty of inquiries since the Derby. But Reddam said the interest in I'll Have Another as a stallion prospect was light domestically.
