as part of a partnership between Frank Stronach’s Adena Springs and Dr. Michael Colterjohn.
Springs back into the Ontario market and demonstrates our strong commitment
to Ontario racing and breeding,” Adena Springs President Andy Stronach said. “Sligo Bay’s proven ability to sire Polytrack and grass horses will be of great bene t to us and a huge asset for other Canadian breeders. We strongly believe
The Sadler’s Wells horse out of Angelic Song, by Halo, will stand for $5,000.
“This partnership between the top two breeders in Canada puts Adena
in this stallion and his superior bloodlines will help bolster our racing program.”
