Stallion books open for Cornerstone Stock Farm-managed stallions

Cornerstone Stock Farm has announced that the 2027 books for Loubet, Stockade Seelster, Gulf Shores and Kings County are now open.

Loubet stands his fourth season in Indiana at Premier Acres and will remain at a fee of $4,000. His first crop sold at the MSHS in 2026 and averaged nearly $23,000, ranking second in Indiana pacing stallions. The son of Sweet Lou has bred full books in each season thus far and breeders are encouraged to submit applications early.

Stockade Seelster’s oldest foals will sell as yearlings in 2027 and he will again stand at Winterwood Farm in Ohio for $4,000. The Dan Patch and O’Brien Award winning stallion is fully syndicated and has bred large books in each of first two seasons.

Gulf Shores led all pacing sires in earnings with his freshman class in Minnesota, with nearly 70% of his first crop racing. Kings County’s first crop of yearlings will hit the sale ring in 2027. Both stallions stand at Bluff Country Equine in Winona, Minn., for a fee of $2,000.

For booking information on all stallions, go to https://t.co/nndajNWIew for printable applications, or contact Jeff Fought via email jeff.fought@cornerstonestockfarm or text at 260-463-1649.

Southwind Chrome to be syndicated and stand in Indiana

Southwind Chrome 4,1:50.1 has been acquired by a prominent group of breeders, trainers and drivers and will be moving to Indiana in 2027. The World Champion son of Chapter Seven has been standing at Walker Standardbreds in Illinois where he has been nothing short of dominant.

With two small crops of racing age, his 3 yr olds include Buckette and Dygert winning Pony Chrome 3,1:52.2 ($185,282) and the multiple stakes winning Go Go Go Chrome 3,1:53.3 ($157,648). Southwind Chrome’s most recent freshmen crop was led by the undefeated colt The Monster 2,1:53.3 ($112,207). With just 95 foals of racing age, Southwind Chrome has sired with winners $1,142,149 in his first two crops racing with limited opportunities in Illinois.

The group that has purchased Southwind Chrome includes leading trainer Erv Miller and several of his partners, as well as driver Marcus Miller. Trainer Erv Miller had this to say about the stallion. “Southwind Chrome has produced the kind of 2 yr olds I like to train. They have good attitudes, early speed and don’t need the perfect trip to win! He definitely will be a big addition to the Indiana program.” Driver Marcus Miller, who has driven his fair share of winners added, “Southwind Chrome’s are the kind of horse a driver looks forward to. They are nice to handle, good gaited and fast. But most importantly, they try. I am super excited to see what he can do in Indiana.”

The ownership group also includes Indiana breeder Daryl Miller of Lyndar Stables, who stated, “It’s been my dream to be a part of a stallion. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of one that is not only proven, but has the ownership support behind him for years to come.” The syndication will be handled by Jeff and Natasha Fought’s Cornerstone Stock Farm, who also are part of the group that has acquired Southwind Chrome. “This is a stallion that has been in the works for quite a while now. I wasn’t sure it would ever happen honestly because the Walkers weren’t keen on letting go of this horse, and I can’t blame them. I can’t think of a more perfect fit for Indiana, and to see what the horse has produced in Illinois, when he’s gets the fire power of Indiana’s trotting mares, the sky is the limit”, added Jeff Fought.

Southwind Chrome will be standing at Premier Acres in Middlebury, Indiana for a fee of $6,000. A limited number of syndicate shares will be available for purchase with some very favorable terms for investors. Those interested should contact Jeff Fought at 260-463-1649 or by email at [email protected].

Grattan Helmet Program Update

We have been notified that Grattan helmets ordered through our discounted program are now subject to an additional $69 brokerage/duty expense through FedEx as a result of changing rules surrounding imports to the United States.

To help offset this added expense, Hoosier Park and the Indiana Standardbred Association have each increased their contribution from $100 to $125 for the remainder of 2026. Together, these increases cover $50 of the additional charge, leaving the purchaser responsible for the remaining $19. The discounted helmet program will continue till December 31, 2026.

We appreciate Hoosier Park’s continued partnership in helping make protective equipment more affordable for our participants.
