Union Jack, the 5yo male who is small in stature but big in heart, will be retired at the end of the 2010 season, joining Nightwing, War Machine, and Big Easy as Otsego Farms studs.
Jack, who has fashioned a career record of 35-13-7-7 thus far, has seven Gr1 wins, the biggest of which was The Derby during his 3yo season.
He is a very solid choice for a stable who has turf-loving mares with stamina. He does have surface flexibility though, so even mares who like dirt could consider Union Jack. He had just four career starts on dirt and two of them resulted in PSR's above 100.
There will be five open spots at $30,000 each, two of which are already spoken for. Reservations can be made here, or via email to mvpcandidate@gmail.com.
His AR is disclosed below:

Salve Jim,
Sarei felice di avere un allevamento con Union Jack.
Thanks!!
Ettore
Jim, it would seem that you and I have a very similiar stallion (AR wise):P All the best with him. If I wasn't standing TM this year I would probably give Jack a go, seeing as I'm liking what I'm seeing re; Dragon Force :).
La ringrazio Ettore.
Zoe: I was thinking the same thing when I saw Taj Mahal's AR. That's why I was curious when you said, "the best". :)
Maybe TM would be better for Dragon Force anyway Zoe, since DF and Union Jack are half-siblings.
I wasn't meaning that I was looking at DF for UJ I would have sent White Gold but it's because of DF that I follow UJ's career with intrest. All the best with him Jim!
Understood. Thanks Zoe.
