Owners Susan and Charles Chu announced Nov. 30 that their champion sprinter by Gio Ponti has been sold to the Shadai Group and will stand at Shadai Stallion Station in Hokkaido. Drefong won three grade 1 stakes and earned more than $1.5 million.
Baffert will remain at home in California. He'll get his string in order, and they'll fight another day.
Trainer Wesley Ward said Stonestreet Stables and Peter Leidel's dual group 1 winner Lady Aurelia came out of her 10th-place finish in the Nov. 4 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1T) "good."
Rockingham Ranch and David Bernsen's 5-year-old More Than Ready gelding ran down Imperial Hint with determined strides to claim the $1.5 million TwinSpires Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1).
Bob Baffert, the lone trainer to win the TwinSpires Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1) with the same horse in consecutive years, will try to repeat that accomplishment with Drefong this year at Del Mar.
