For his efforts, the colt was voted the country's top 2-year-old colt, which made him his sire's ninth champion.Citizen Bull's 3-year-old campaign included a score in the GIII Robert B. Lewis Stakes in Arcadia and a 5 1/2-length win in the Shared Belief Stakes at the seaside oval Aug. 31.“The only Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male by Into Mischief, Citizen Bull will make a fantastic addition to our roster,” said Ashford Stud's Dermot Ryan. “He is from that very potent Into Mischief-Distorted Humor cross that has already given us the proven Grade I sire Practical Joke, and hails from the family of up-and-coming young Ashford sire Tiz The Law.”Following his Shared Belief Stakes success, trainer Bob Baffert said that, “He was back to a distance he really loves. The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is where we will be pointing… You saw the champion Citizen Bull today.”A stud fee for Citizen Bull will be announced in due course.The post Champion Citizen Bull To Stud At Coolmore America For 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
