New home for Tom Ridge

 Return Home
January 17, 2005 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Tom Ridge, the fastest trotter of all time, will stand at stud in 2005 at Nandi Farm in New Freedom, Pa., under the management of Walnut Hall Ltd. The announcement was made by Alan J. Leavitt, president of Walnut Hall Ltd., which is owned by his wife, Meg Jewett.



A son of leading sire Muscles Yankee, out of the great producer Astoric Lobell, by Joie De Vie, Tom Ridge earned $886,144 at ages 2 and 3, setting a new all-time world trotting record of 1:50.2 in the second heat of the $530,000 World Trotting Derby.



Trained by Jimmy Takter and driven in most of his starts by Ron Pierce, Tom Ridge raced in the ownership of Banjo Farm, Peter Heffering, Ken Ross, and Christina Tackter. Ross and Tackter are retaining their interests in Tom Ridge, while the Banjo-Heffering interest is being syndicated by Geoffrey Stein of Preferred Equine Marketing.



Tom Ridge will stand for a fee of $12,000 for a live foal, and his foals will be eligible to the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes.
