Olympiad Wins Jockey Club Gold Cup HOLD | Joe Labozzetta

Grandview Equine, Cheyenne Stable and LNJ Foxwoods‘Olympiad’ (Sightstown–Tokyo time, Medaglia d’Oro) will take up stallion duties at Gainesway Ranch after he retires from racing. To date, the Olympiad has won 8 of 12 career starts, including 5 ranked championships, notably the GI Jockey Club Gold Cup. Having amassed more than $2 million in earnings, the 4-year-old is scheduled to have his next game in the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland next month.

Coached by Hall of Fame coach Bill Mott, the Olympiad has racked up five ratings wins this season, starting with GIII Platen S. at the Fair Grounds, where he set a 1 1/16 mile record. He continued on the same track with two long scores in the GII New Orleans Classic S. before adding a pair of wins at Churchill Downs in the GII Alysheba S. and the GII Stephen Foster S.

Raised by Emory Hamilton, the Olympiad is no longer in a Level III position according to Tokyo Time. This is the immediate family of the Class I winner and the foundation mare Chic Shirine, from whom there are 20 descending ranking winners. He was purchased by Solis/Litt from the Gainesway consignment for $700,000.

“I have been a huge fan of Olympiad since selling him as an aspirant in 2019,” said Gainesway General Manager Brian Graves. “The Olympiad has proven his exceptional looks and pedigree with a formidable race record. I couldn’t be more delighted to stand a horse with his quality and talent at Gainesway. “

Promotional fees for the first season of the Olympiad will be announced at a later date.
