The son of the Fastnet Rock mare Tropical Rock earned over $580,000 in seven starts.Ger Lyons said, “He was a proper racehorse with unreal speed and he showed us he was pretty special from day one here. He's a beauty to look at and I wish him well. He gave us the best day of our racing life in Del Mar last year, a day we'll never forget.”The fourth foal and second winner out of his two-time winning dam, Magnum Force is a grandson of stakes winner and G3 Summer Stakes third Tropical Treat (Bahamian Bounty).Ballyhane's Joe Foley, who will share ownership in the stallion with his owner-breeder Sheikh Abdulla bin Isa Al-Khalifa, said “Magnum Force obviously had a tremendous amount of talent and that ability, allied with his impressive good looks, should make him a popular choice for breeders next season.”The post Breeders’ Cup Hero Magnum Force Retired To Ballyhane Stud appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
