Colonel Liam, a three-time Grade 1-winning millionaire, will also stand his second season for a fee of $6,500 S&N. Seeking the Soul and Win Win Win were each represented by first yearlings in 2023 and will once again stand for $5,000 S&N.

Roadster, a son of perennial leading sire Quality Road, proved an impressive winner of the $1 million Santa Anita Derby (G1) in 2019. In a determined win, he defeated stablemate Game Winner—the previous year’s Eclipse Award-winning 2-Year-Old Male Champion—with a sustained stretch rally after circling his rivals three-wide on the far turn.

In addition to his signature victory, Roadster finished second in the Malibu Stakes (G1) to Omaha Beach, second in the San Carlos Stakes (G2), and was runner-up to Grade 1 winner Mucho Gusto in the Affirmed Stakes (G3).

Roadster was sold by his breeder—Arthur Hancock III’s Stone Farm—at the Keeneland September Sale for $525,000.

Colonel Liam is a back-to-back winner of the $1 million Pegasus Turf Invitational Stakes (G1) at Gulfstream Park. He also won the $1 million Turf Classic Stakes (G1) at Churchill Downs, recording a 102 Beyer Speed Figure. Colonel Liam was a $1.2 million graduate of the OBS Spring Sale, where he was purchased by Jacob West on behalf of Robert and Lawana Low after breezing a quarter in an eye-catching :20 4/5.

A son of Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (G1) winner Liam’s Map, a half-brother to leading sire Not This Time, Colonel Liam is produced from the Bernardini mare Amazement and hails from the family of multiple Grade 1 winner Wonder Again, his second dam. All told, Colonel Liam amassed earnings of more than $1.8 million in a sensational racing career.

Win Win Win has been represented this year with in-demand first yearlings commanding up to $250,000 at Keeneland September and $150,000 at the Fasig-Tipton July Sale. During his racing career, Win Win Win captured the Forego Stakes (G1) at Saratoga in 2020, defeating four Grade 1 winners. He set a new track record at three, winning the seven-furlong Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs in 1:20.89, running a 2 on the Ragozin Sheets. Win Win Win hails from a deep Live Oak family and is a descendant of the influential Halo sire line. He stands as the property of a partnership between Live Oak Stud, Airdrie Stud, and Ocala Stud.
