Well Said to stand at stud at Hanover

Jim Simpson, president of Hanover Shoe Farms, and Sue Grange and Jeffrey Snyder, the owners of Well Said, have announced that they have reached an agreement to retire this year's North America Cup and Meadowlands Pace winner at the conclusion of the 2009 racing season.

 

In making the announcement, Simpson said, “We are absolutely thrilled to have Well Said come to Hanover. We view him as the logical replacement for his sire Western Hanover, whose death was a great loss to Hanover and to the breed. The fact that he is out of an Artsplace mare combines the blood of the most dominant pacing stallions of this generation. We view him as an incredible breeding prospect. He has it all – great performance, an impeccable pedigree and he is a drop-dead gorgeous colt.”

 

Well Said p,2,1:51; 3,1:47.4 has thus far earned $2,218,438 and is a leading candidate for the 2009 Pacer of the Year. He is a son of Western Hanover and out of the outstanding Artsplace mare Must See p,2,1:52.

 

Well Said is scheduled to race next in the Little Brown Jug on Sept. 24.
