Multiple Grade 1 Winner Giant Oak Retired

Multiple grade I winner Giant Oak has been retired from racing and will stand at Millennium Farms as property of the Virginia H. Tarra Trust and Millennium Stallions. He will stand for a fee of $7,500, live foal, stands and nurse.

Bred and owned by the Virginia H. Tarra Trust, Giant Oak began his career as a juvenile by winning his first two starts and went on to win two grade I events on dirt, the 2010 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs and the 2011 Donn Handicap at Gulfstream Park. In his four-year career, Giant Oak won on dirt, turf and synthetic and either won or placed in 12 graded events, including the Breeders’ Cup Marathon (gr. II) at Churchill Downs in his last start. His career tally is 31-5-5-6 with earnings of $1,484,829.

“We are excited to welcome Giant Oak to Millennium Farms at the conclusion of a stellar racing career,” said Millennium Farms owner Ro Parra. “He won two grade I races on dirt, was graded stakes placed at 2, beaten a neck, and is Giant's Causeway  ’s top-earning colt on dirt, with $1.2 million coming on dirt surfaces. He ended his racing career with nine straight Thorograph ‘zeroes’. We plan to support him in the breeding shed.”
