2021 Preakness Stakes Winner Rombauer Needs A Home To Stand In The Future

(6-1-23) It all started when I saw this tweet —

Reminder that Rombauer won the Preakness wasn’t able to find a fair stud deal, but Loggins will stand at Spendthrift.

Because in this industry, it’s all about who you know and not what you did 🙂

• 3rd Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (USA-G1, 9FD, Keeneland)

You have to love the story of Rombauer…his owner John Fradkin, who bred and raced the colt in partnership with his wife Diane.

I identify with the Fradkin’s in a small way. As an owner of thoroughbreds by purchasing fractional shares, including Kentucky Derby winner Mage. It is heartbreaking to see a Preakness winner like Rombauer is having trouble finding the right spot to start his stallion career.

Would fractional ownership be a possibility for Rombauer? Yes…the financial boost from selling fractional shares could increase his presence. The fractional ownership continues to expand with new opportunities, especially in helping the Fradkins.

It would be a shame to see Rombauer miss his opportunity to produce foals.
