Monte Miki, the Dan Patch Award winner as the top two-year-old male pacer of 2021 in the U.S., will stand stud in 2023.
Monte Miki will stand his first season at stud in 2023 at Midland Acres in Bloomingburg, Ohio for a fee of $5,000.
The son of Always B Miki-Montenegro won six of seven starts as a two-year-old while earning $751,796, by far the leader in his division.
Monte Miki took home divisional honours in the U.S. on the strength of two major stakes wins — the $824,000 Metro at Woodbine Mohawk Park in 1:52.2 and the $600,000 Breeders Crown at The Meadowlands in 1:53.2. He took his lifetime record of 1:50.4 in his Breeders Crown elimination.
Monte Miki was retired from racing after sustaining an injury leading into his sophomore season.
Monte Miki brings a great outcross for broodmares by Somebeachsomewhere, Western Hanover and other major sire lines. He is a tall, dark stallion with beautiful conformation, standing at 16.2 hands, with the heart and pedigree of a champion. He is certain to have an immediate impact among the Ohio, and national, stallion ranks.
Limited shares are available.
