GISW Rattle N Roll Retired, Will Stand In Saudi Arabia

Wait 5 sec.

GISW Rattle N Roll (Connect–Jazz Tune, by Johannesburg) has been retired from racing and sold to Saudi Arabia where he will stand stud in 2027, trainer Ken McPeek told Horse Racing Nation Saturday.The 7-year-old, who won the 2021 GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity, compiled a record of 33-11-3-3 and earned more than $3.9 million with seven graded- or group-stakes wins.“Rattle and Roll's been sold and retired to stud duty in Saudi Arabia,” McPeek said to HRN. “He's going to go to stud in Saudi Arabia for our partner, (Sharaf Mohammed Al Hariri). The Mackin family (of co-owner Lucky Seven Stable) was happy to work the deal with them because they wanted him to have a stallion career. He's not a horse that's a Kentucky-type stallion. Maybe he could (stand in) New York or someplace else, but I think that's a good ending for him as far as ending his career. He's been so good to us, and every year he's just brought us nice wins, and he's retired sound, and that's good. You could make a case to run him another year, but I don't think he had anything to prove.”Rattle N Roll raced three times this year, starting his season off in Saudi Arabia when ninth in the G1 Saudi Cup, then returning to the United States where he was fifth in the GIII Ben Ali Stakes and most recently seventh in the GIII Blame Stakes May 30 at Churchill.In the same article, McPeek also revealed the retirements of two of his fillies: Taken by the Wind (Rock Your World) and Take Charge Milady (Take Charge Indy).Taken by the Wind, who took down the GIII Pocahontas Stakes last year, is in foal to Flightline and will be sold in November while MSW/GISP Take Charge Milady is carrying to Curlin.The post GISW Rattle N Roll Retired, Will Stand In Saudi Arabia appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
