Tara Hills Stud Farm has announced that Mister Big p, 2, 1:53, 3, 1:49.2, 4, 1:47.4, who is scheduled to compete in the $500,000 Ben Franklin Pace at Harrah's Chester on Sunday, will be retired to stud at the Port Perry, Ont., farm next year. A son of Grinfromeartoear from the Jate Lobell mare Worlds Sweetheart, Mister Big has been one of the most consistent and successful performers in the sport. A multiple stakes winner at two and three, he then stepped up his game as an older performer.
As a four and/or five-year-old he was victorious in all the major races for his division including the Haughton Memorial (twice), Breeders Crown, Allerage (twice), Canadian Pacing Derby, US Pacing Championship final (twice), Quillen Final and more. To date he has paced 12 miles in 1:49 or lower and has standings of 31-17-8 in 73 career starts.
This year at six he has victories so far in the Dan Patch Memorial and Franklin elim.
A multiple Dan Patch and Nova Award winner, Mister Big is owned by Joe Muscara of Pennsylvania. “I’m thrilled to have Mister Big stand alongside Mach Three, one of the top sires today, at Tara Hills," said Muscara. "Mister Big has proven time and time again that he is one of the best to ever race and he doesn’t have anything left to prove. I hope Ontario breeders will be as excited as we are to have him standing in their province.” (Tara Hills Stud Farm)
