Grade 1 winner Harmonize has been retired to Brookdale Farm near Lexington, Ky., and will be bred to More Than Ready, owner Larkin Armstrong announced this week on his Twitter account.

More Than Ready stands for $75,000 at WinStar Farm and sired 2017 Breeders’ Cup winners Roy H and Rushing Fall, who won the Sprint and Juvenile Fillies Turf, respectively. 

The 5-year-old mare made her last start a winning one at Saratoga last summer, getting her neck up in time to capture the Grade 3 Glen Falls Stakes. She picked up other significant wins in the 2016 Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks and the 2015 Grade 3 JPMorgan Chase Jessamine Stakes, making her a graded stakes winner at 2, 3 and 4 for trainer Bill Mott.

By Scat Daddy and out of Mesa Fresca, by Sky Mesa, Harmonize was bred by Jack Swain III and consigned by Brookdale Sales at the 2014 Keeneland September yearling sale. There Armstrong purchased the filly for $80,000. She went on to win five of 16 career starts, with four seconds and one third, earning $827,860 on the track.
