I’ll Have Another,  U.S. champion and dual classic winner of the 2012 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, arrived Saturday at California's Ballena Vista Farm for the upcoming 2019 breeding season. He is now available for inspection.  

Farm manager Michael Jimenez and Donald Cohn farm owner were recent visitors at UC Davis, where I’ll Have Another was undergoing USDA testing and quarantine. They both came away impressed with his personality and his well-made conformation. 

Jimenez, with more than 35 years in the California thoroughbred industry, expects I’ll Have Another to be the benchmark of sires standing on the West Coast.

“Pedigree, good looks, conformation, race record and progeny production point out that I’ll Have Another will without a doubt be a top sire here in California," he said. "His photographs reveal him to be as good looking as he is, and his physical appearance up close is stunning.” 

I’ll Have Another will stand for the introductory fee of $6,000 live foal as the property of Ballena Vista Farm.

Please contact Jeanne Davis or Jimenez at (760) 789-3900 or jeanne@ballenavistafarm.com to schedule a visit.
