PREAKNESS WINNER CLOUD COMPUTING MOVES TO PIN OAK LANE FARM FOR 2024
Classic-winning Grade 1 sire Cloud Computing has moved to Dr. William Solomon’s Pin Oak Lane Farm in New Freedom, Pa., for the 2024 breeding season. The 9-year-old syndicated stallion will stand his first Pennsylvania season for $3,500, payable when the foal stands and nurses, or discounted to $3,000 if sending two mares to any Pin Oak Lane stallions, or $2,500 for three or more mares.
Cloud Computing, a member of the first crop of the brilliant Maclean’s Music, made national news in the second leg of the Triple Crown when he defeated champion Classic Empire and Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming in only his fourth career start. He came into the race after breaking his maiden first-out going six furlongs at Aqueduct in February, and remained on the New York path to the Triple Crown, finishing second in the Grade 3 Gotham in his second start less than a month after his debut, and was third in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial. In a career of eight starts, he retired with earnings of $1,125,200.
The bay stallion relocates from Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., where he entered stud in 2019. With two crops to race, he ranks in the top-10 among all Mid-Atlantic sires by 2023 progeny earnings, his runners earning in excess of $2.6 million (through Dec. 7) and more than $3.6 million lifetime. His North American winners are led by Super Derby winner Big Data and I’m Very Busy, the latter graded stakes-placed at 2 and 3; from one crop conceived in the Southern Hemisphere while in Chile in 2019, he is represented by Mil Guineas Maria Luisa Solari F.-G1 winner Zajarova and three other stakes performers. His daughter My Witch Asquifar was last year’s champion imported 2-year-old filly in Mexico and counts wins in the Clasico Lea B-G1 and Clasico Diamante-G1.
Cloud Computing is one of five winners out of the graded stakes-placed A.P. Indy mare Quick Temper. His second dam, millionaire Halo America (by Waquoit), won the Grade 1 Apple Blossom and eight other stakes, and also produced the Storm Cat colt Marino Marini, a million-dollar sales yearling who became a stakes winner in Ireland and was Grade/Group 1-placed in Ireland and the U.S.

WICKED STRONG HAS ARRIVED AT PIN OAK LANE FARM
Millionaire Wicked Strong is moving to Dr. William Solomon’s Pin Oak Lane Farm in New Freedom, Pa., for the 2021 season. The 9-year-old syndicated stallion, who previously stood at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky, will stand for $3,500, payable when the foal stands and nurses with multiple mare discounts of $3,000 for the breeding of 2 mares and $2,500 for 3 or more mares.
“He’s by far the leading second-crop sire in the Mid-Atlantic region with earnings of over $2 million,” said Solomon of Wicked Strong, who ranks third among the region’s active sires on the general list in 2020. “And he comes with 154 2-year-olds and yearlings, so I think his chances of succeeding are good for that reason. He also has10 stakes horses in his first two crops to race. All these things make him one of the most attractive sires in the Mid-Atlantic.”
His most recent stakes winning juvenile is Brooklyn Strong, who won the $150,000 Sleepy Hollow Stakes at Belmont on Oct. 24. Brooklyn Strong also fits among Wicked Strong’s stakes-placed runners, as he was third in Belmont’s Bertram F. Bongard Stakes Oct. 2 in his second start.
A top-10 freshman sire nationally in 2019 by progeny earnings, Wicked Strong ranked second by number of winners with 26, one less than American Pharoah, Constitution and Tapiture. Among his first crop runners, now 3, are Evil Lyn, winner of Pimlico’s Hilltop Stakes earlier this month, and Wicked Runner, a stakes winner at 2 and 3 in Puerto Rico. Of his 10 black-type horses, seven earned black-type at 2.
One of the top runners of his generation, Wicked Strong won the $1 million G1 Wood Memorial Stakes in stakes-record time, and captured Saratoga’s G2 Jim Dandy Stakes over G1 Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist. Graded stakes-placed at 2 when third behind Honor Code in the G2 Remsen, he was second by a nose to his stablemate V. E. Day the next summer in the G1 Travers Stakes. He turned in strong showings in the 2014 classics, finishing fourth after a tough trip in the G1 Kentucky Derby, won by California Chrome, and getting up to dead heat with California Chrome for fourth in the G1 Belmont Stakes while finishing less than two lengths behind Tonalist.
Wicked Strong competed in 14 consecutive stakes at 3 and 4, 10 of them G1. During his 4-year-old season, he had four stakes placings, including a second to Tonalist in the G1 Jockey Club Gold Cup and a third behind Liam’s Map in the G1 Woodward Stakes, and concluded his 19-start career with a fourth in the G1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile won by Liam’s Map.
He is the richest son of top sire Hard Spun to stand at stud, with a record of 3-4-3 for earnings of $1,994,460. Wicked Strong has a pedigree with strong classic lines. His winning dam Moyne Abbey is by Kentucky Derby/Preakness winner Charismatic, who in turn is by Preakness winner Summer Squall.
His family is filled with graded stakes winners including two-time G1-winning millionaire Student Council; his dam is a half-sister to graded winners and G1-placed Gulch Approval and Rusty Slipper as well as stakes winner and graded-placed Approval Rating.

Consider these benefits that Pennsylvania offers to breeders and compare them to what Maryland has to offer:
When Pennsylvania bred, sired, and owned horses win a PA race, they can earn more than 100% of the purse.
With current foal crops of similar size, Pennsylvania offers approximately $110 million in Thoroughbred purses, nearly 3 times the purse money offered in Maryland.
Pennsylvania has 500 racing days at three racetracks across the state. Maryland races only 146 days with far fewer opportunities.
Pennsylvania awards close to $35 million to Pennsylvania breeders and owners whose PA-bred horses place first, second, or third in PA races, nearly 5 times what is available in Maryland in breeders and owners awards.
In addition to 22 restricted stakes races for PA-breds totaling $1.68 million in purses, Pennsylvania offers nearly 500 overnight restricted races. Maryland offers no overnight restricted races, just their stakes programs.

Offlee Wild’s Bayern cruises to track record in
PA Derby
Offlee Wild’s Bayern going wire to wire destroyed the field in the $1 million Gr. 2 Pennsylvania Derby, easily defeating California Chrome and Tapiture by 5 3/4 lengths, covering the 1 1/8 mile in 1:46.96 and setting a track record, which had lasted for forty years.
The win increased Offlee Wild’s progeny earnings for 2014 to over $4 million, placing him second behind Pin Oak Lane’s Any Given Saturday in both the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Bayern’s Haskell win is three of a kind
for Pin Oak Lane
by Frank Vespe, The Racing Biz

In the aftermath of Bayern’s eye-catching romp in yesterday’s Grade 1, $1,000,000 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park, there were more than a few excited people.
Winning trainer Bob Baffert and owner Kaleem Shah, for example, who now have a sophomore who could be a contender in any number of important races going forward.
Don’t forget jockey Martin Garcia, who picked up the mount from the injured Gary Stevens. “I knew I was on a really good horse,” he said after the race. But this good?
You might even throw in those who wagered on the dark bay or brown colt, who took home a tidy $11.40 for each $2 win wager — not bad money on a horse whose trainer has now won half of the last 14 runnings of Monmouth’s biggest race.
And then there’s Dr. Bill Solomon, the veterinarian who stands Bayern’s sire, Offlee Wild, at his Pin Oak Lane Farm near New Freedom, PA.
“Oh, my God!” a joyful Solomon said by phone in the aftermath of the race. “Are you kidding?”
He, like almost everyone else, was concerned that Bayern might not handle the nine-furlong distance of the Haskell. His two prior tries at similar distances — in the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby and the slightly longer Grade 1 Preakness — had not ended particularly well. But Sunday was, well, a different day.
“When he got to the quarter pole, it was pretty obvious,” Solomon said. “He wasn’t stopping.”
Yet Solomon, who started Pin Oak Lane in 1973, said that he didn’t scream and shout, or jump up and down, while watching the race.
“I like to act like maybe it’s happened before,” he said with a chuckle.
Which, in truth, probably isn’t that difficult. You see, it has happened before, is happening right now.
Indeed, three of what used to be called “Win and You’re In” races for November’s Grade 1, $5,000,000 Breeders’ Cup Classic have been contested so far this year — and, remarkably, all three have been won by horses sired by Pin Oak Lane stallions.
In June, the suddenly very good Moonshine Mullin won the first of those Challenge races, taking the Grade 1 Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs. Moonshine Mullin is a son of Pin Oak Lane’s stallion Albert the Great.
Two weeks after that, Majestic Harbor, a son of late sire Rockport Harbor, took the Grade 1 Gold Cup at Santa Anita (formerly the Hollywood Gold Cup). Rockport Harbor was, like Offlee Wild, a Darley-owned horse standing at Pin Oak Lane.
And now Bayern.
No wonder Solomon describes himself as “very blessed.”
When Offlee Wild came to Pin Oak Lane, Solomon said he had an inkling something big could happen. “He’s a physical horse that’s pretty impressive,” he said.
He also believed that Offlee Wild’s crop of horses that would be two-year-olds of 2013 — the crop of which Bayern is a member — might be the best book he’d bred.
“I felt he had the chance to pop,” the vet said.
That approach has been central to Solomon’s strategy with a number of stallions over the years. While some breeding operations tend towards trying to make young, unproven sires into stars, Solomon believes that’s difficult in the mid-Atlantic. Regional stallions typically breed smaller books of lower quality mares, making it hard to get the top horses that can make a stallion.
“I like to take horses who stood at major farms and bred large, quality books,” he said.
Of course, that in itself isn’t enough. The horse also has to have demonstrated the ability to get a runner.
“As you go back a bit, this isn’t the first good horse [Offlee Wild] has had,” he pointed out. Among the others are Eclipse champion juvenile filly She Be Wild.
As evening descended on Pennsylvania, in the aftermath of a big day, Solomon grew reflective. He remembered friends in the industry, like Darley’s Charlie Boden, who’d helped him out over the years, from his earliest days up to today.
If racing is a game, it’s a long game. It takes something of a cockeyed optimist to survive, a particular, peculiar way of looking at the world.
“That’s the secret,” Solomon said. “You stay around long enough, you give yourself a chance of good things happening.”

|
|
 Millionaire Corinthian (Pulpit – Multiply, by Easy Goer), the best dirt miler in the world in 2007 and among the nation’s leading young sires over the past three seasons, moves from Gainesway in Lexington, Ky., to Dr. William Solomon’s Pin Oak Lane in New Freedom, Pa., for 2014.The 10-year-old son of Pulpit, who first entered stud in 2008, stands his initial Pennsylvania season for $4,000 live foal, with discounts for multiple mares. Corinthian entered stud following a stellar 4-year-old campaign in which he won two of racing’s most illustrious dirt mile tests – the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont and the inaugural running of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile with a 119 Beyer speed figure. In the latter, worth $1 million and run at Monmouth Park at a mile and 70 yards over a sloppy track, he flew home a six and a half-length winner over a field that included millionaires Discreet Cat, Wanderin Boy and Park Avenue Ball.He won the time-honored Met Mile at the expense of that year’s eventual champion older male Lawyer Ron, plus additional Grade 1 winners Political Force, Latent Heat and Silver Wagon and multimillionaire Sun King. In his first start at 4, Corinthian defeated the previous year’s Belmont Stakes-G1 winner Jazil by nine and a half lengths in a Gulfstream Park allowance, and followed with a score in the mile and three-sixteenths Gulfstream Park Handicap-G2 over Hesanoldsalt. A winner each year from 2 to 4, Corinthian amassed $1,267,273 from 12 starts, winning six times and placing in three others. He crossed the wire first in the Fountain of Youth Stakes-G2 in his stakes debut but was disqualified to third behind First Samurai and Flashy Bull.Ranked fourth in the nation among freshman sires in 2011 and in the top-10 on the second- and third-crop lists, Corinthian has 11 stakes horses in his first three crops, including graded stakes-placed juveniles Muppet Man and My Corinthian, the latter third in this year’s Grade 3 Bashford Manor. His runners have won stakes across the country, including Belmont, Monmouth, Oaklawn and Arlington Park, and four of his six stakes winners won at 2. He has progeny earnings in excess of $7 million, with average earnings per starter of more than $30,000. He is the sire of winners of over $3.2 million in 2013.A half-brother to graded winner Desert Hero and the dam of stakes winner Crew Leader (by Pulpit), Corinthian descends from Special (his fourth dam), and is a member of the incredible family of leading sires Sadler’s Wells, Nureyev and Fairy King. Dr. Solomon is looking forward to having Corinthian at Pin Oak Lane. “We expect Corinthian to be a leading sire in the MidAtlantic for years to come. He has a good number of two-year-olds, yearling, and foals going forward and is an excellent breeding stallion who consistently settles over 92 percent.” |
