Bullet Train, a Group-winning, three-quarter brother to the sensational and
undefeated Frankel, will enter stud in 2013 at Wintergreen Stallion
Station in Midway, Kentucky for a fee of $7,500 it was announced today.
A foal of 2007, Bullet Train is by the legendary
sire-of-sires Sadler’s Wells, whose 325 stakes winners and progeny
earnings of over $166 million rank him among the best ever. Sadler's
Wells is currently is the sire of the two leading world-wide sires in
Galileo, the sire of Frankel, and Montjeu. Bullet
Train’s dam is the Danehill mare Kind, who has produced
three group stakes winners, including Frankel, with her first three
foals.
“We
are tremendously excited to have the opportunity to stand a
three-quarter brother to the horse who has been heralded the world over
as one of the greatest of all time,” said Wintergreen owner, John
Greely, IV. “Bullet Train gives American breeders the opportunity to
infuse that classic Juddmonte Farms bloodline into their mares at a stud
fee that is fraction of the cost to that of Frankel.”
“The Greely family has had decades of success breeding in Kentucky and my brother Mark and I are proud
to partner with them by standing Bullet Train at Wintergreen,” said
bloodstock agent Bob Feld, who will manage the stallion. “With his
excellent speed, athleticism and outstanding pedigree, Bullet Train
really suits American racing and should be well-received by breeders
from coast-to-coast.”

Stallion Station will proudly introduce Bullet Train on Tuesday,
