Morriston - Pleasant Acres Stallions has announced the arrival of CHAMPIONS DREAM (Justify / Dancinginherdreams, by Tapit) – to Florida for the 2025 breeding season at a $5,000 fee.

    “It’s always a great day when a talented and well-bred stallion arrives at Pleasant Acres Stallions. When a graded stakes winning, TDN Rising Star, son of Justify arrives, you can imagine our excitement,” said Director of Stallion Services Christine Jones. “CHAMPIONS DREAM has an exceptional pedigree with a lot of black type on his dam side. We are confident he will be a great addition for Florida breeders commercially and at the racetrack.” 

    CHAMPIONS DREAM was named TDN Rising Star during his well-bet front-running debut score at Saratoga at seven furlongs on dirt. He went on to finish best of all in the Gr. 3 Nashua Stakes at Aqueduct going 1 mile on the dirt. He placed 2nd in the black-type Pasco Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs at three. Competing against tough company during his career, CHAMPIONS DREAM beat winner of the Kentucky Downs Juvenile Mile Stakes and MGSW TIZ THE BOMB.

    CHAMPIONS DREAM was a $425,000 OBS March juvenile off a sharp :20 4/5 breeze.  He was the 12th winner for JUSTIFY, his fifth stakes-winner, first male stakes-winner, and the third to follow his Triple Crown-winning sire in being named a ‘Rising Star.’ *

    “From the very start, CHAMPIONS DREAM was a special horse. He broke his maiden at first asking in Saratoga and moved forward from there. His last race was another indication of his true ability, determination, and excellent physique. He is intelligent and his demeanor is easy-going,” said Rafael Weiss, Rosedown Racing.  “We plan to breed a number of our better mares to him and are purchasing several more for him. We are convinced his brilliant early speed and pedigree are a great fit for Florida.”   comments powered by Disqus
