Channeled, an unraced full brother to grass champion English Channel , will enter stud in 2013 at Pope McLean's Crestwood Farm near Lexington. Four-year-old Channeled (Smart Strike—Belva, by Theatrical) will stand for a private fee.
English Channel, who won the 2007 John Deere Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) the year of his championship, ranked fourth on the 2012 second-crop sires' list with more than $4 million in progeny earnings.
