American Ideal Ad

After his second season at stud in the US, World Campion American Ideal is shuttling again to Woodlands Stud for his southern hemisphere breeding career.

American Ideal gained worldwide fame with his breathtaking performance in 2005 at Lexingtons Red Mile. He won the Bluegrass Stakes sensationally in 1:47.8 being the fastest pacing mile recorded in 2005, and the fastest ever for a three year old. He achieved this on the back of winning the prestigious Tattersalls Pace a week earlier. Another record fell after winning the Confederation cup lowering the half mile track and stakes record to 1:50.3. At the Meadowlands he set yet another track record in his five length win over Rocknroll Hanover in the Oliver Wendell Holmes. In total American Ideal set seven track or season records.

Tragically his race career was cut short after injury and he retired to stud as the fastest 3yo pacer of all time. Within a couple of weeks of announcing his retirement, American Ideals book was full and closed at a fee of US$6,000.
