Prayer for Relief to stand at Indiana's R Star Stallions
R Star Stallions announced Thursday that Prayer for Relief, a multiple graded stakes winner of more than $2.2 million, will stand the 2018 season at the Anderson, Ind., farm for the 2018 breeding season. He will stand for a fee of $3,000.
Prayer for Relief broke his maiden as a 2-year-old and placed in the Real Quiet Stakes at Hollywood Park before emerging as one of the nation’s top 3-year-olds with three consecutive graded stakes victories in the Grade 3 Iowa Derby, Grade 2 West Virginia Derby and Grade 2 Super Derby.
The son of Jump Start out of a multiple stakes-winning and stakes-producing mare then went on to a long and productive career as a top handicap horse while racing almost exclusively in graded stakes company. All told, he won six stakes and placed in 15 others — nearly all of them graded — including the Grade 1 Woodward Stakes, Grade 2 Suburban Stakes and Grade 2 Strub Stakes, along with a victory in the Grade 3 Prairie Meadows Cornhusker.
He made his final start in the 2017 Pegasus World Cup Invitational (G1) as a 9-year-old with a career record of 46-8-6-10 and earnings of $2,277,948.
Prayer for Relief joins a roster at R Star Stallions that also includes Deputy Storm, Taprize and What Now.
