Snow Ridge Farm located in Clarklake, Mich., is sad to announce the retirement of their stallion Shark St. Partners p,3, 1:50.4 ($347,194).
One of Michigan's more popular sires, he recently was discovered to have a large internal growth that was soon to be diagnosed as a very large bladder stone. Approximately the size of a small volleyball, he underwent two serious operations and, two weeks recovery at the Michigan State University Veterinary Hospital in Lansing in August. Subsequent post surgeries testing has proved Shark St. Partners to be sterile.
Shark St. Partners was previously owned and raced by Salerno-Trezza Partners and Steve Salerno. His career included winning multiple NJSS races, a division of the Smullin Stakes, a Hoosier Cup elimination, multiple Open class wins at Pocono and at four he was named Pocono Downs Horse Of The Year.
2008 being only his third crop of racing age, his current fastest offspring is Shark Dressed Man p,3, 1:53 who is a Michigan state record holder with a 1:55.1 mark over a county fair track.
Shark St. Partners has recovered and will live the remainder of his life at Snow Ridge Farm. (Snow Ridge Farm)
