Leading sire War Front (Danzig–Starry Dreamer, by Rubiano) has been pensioned from stallion duty at the age of 24 at Claiborne Farm, according to a report in Daily Racing Form.Claiborne president Walker Hancock confirmed War Front's pensioning to DRF's Nicole Russo, who reported that “the stallion was breeding well and still physically healthy, but that in the interest of caution and deep affection for the horse, the farm wished to end this chapter of its flagship stallion's career while he was still in that good health.”War Front has sired 121 stakes winners worldwide, including nine champions and 26 Grade I winners.His top runners on these shores include: 2019 GI Preakness S. winner and 2020 GI Maker's Mark Mile S. winner War of Will and three-time Grade I winner Omaha Beach.War Front raced as a homebred for Joseph Allen and captured the 2006 GII Alfred G. Vanderbilt Breeders' Cup H. for the legendary Allen Jerkens.Syndicated into 40 shares upon retirement, War Front stood his first year in 2007. By the time his first crop of 3-year-olds had run, his $12,500 initial fee had shot up to $60,000. Two years later, he was at $150,000. Eventually, he spent several years at $250,000.“He's an international super sire, with winners all over the country and on so many continents, and now he's turned into a spectacular sire of sires,” Hancock told our Jill Williams in a 'Saturday Sires' 2025 interview. “It's really cool to see his legacy being carried forward with his sons.”Hancock added, “He's been unbelievable for us. We're so thankful we've had to opportunity to stand him. My dad might say something different, but for me, he's the best sire I've been around since I've been here. He's been tremendous for the farm.”The post Report: Leading Sire War Front Pensioned at Claiborne appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
