Atreides on the move to River Oaks Farm in Oklahoma from Hill 'N Dale

Young stallion Atreides has been sold to continue his career at River Oaks Farm in Oklahoma.

In a deal brokered deal brokered by Chad Schumer of Schumer Bloodstock, the eight-year-old moves from Hill 'N Dale Farms in Kentucky, where he began his stud career in 2015.

Atreides won four of five starts over six furlongs to a mile for Stonestreet Stables LLC and trainer Marty Wolfson, including an extraordinary performance to win the Monarchos Stakes at Gulfstream Park by 17 and a half lengths.

Another victory in the Aventura Handicap back at Gulfstream Park concluded his career.

A son of leading sire Medaglia d’Oro, he was bred by Stonestreet out of Dream Rush, winner of the Test Stakes and Prioress Breeders’ Cup Stakes.

Dream Rush is also dam of Frizette Stakes winner Dreaming Of Julia. From two crops of racing age bred during his time at Hill ’n’ Dale, Atreides is the sire of stakes winner Sueno, also Grade 2-placed, in addition to the Grade 2-placed Birthday Letter. A 2020 fee for Atreides will be announced at a later date.
