11/20/07 - To all friends of A. P Jet:

After a year of treatment and many examinations by several vets and clinics, it has been decided, in the best interest of the horse, to pension A. P Jet.  He has been unable to effectively breed a mare since last year, but remains in excellent health otherwise.  He will live out his days here at Sugar Maple Farm in his old stall and paddock and his only duties will be to occasionally serve as a teaser.  He has done very well for us and retires with an excellent record of which we all can be proud.

Bred in Kentucky by the late Prince Ahmed Salman’s The Thoroughbred
Corp., One Nice Cat is out of 1996 champion older mare and four-time Grade 1 winner Jewel Princess, by Key to the Mint.

Millionaire Friendly Island, who was retired from racing earlier this month, will enter stud next year at his birthplace, Howard and Susan Kaskel's Sugar Maple Farm near Poughquag, N.Y. The 6-year-old son of Crafty Friend is in the process of being syndicated by Stuart Subotnick.

Friendly Island, who raced for Stuart and Anita Subotnick's Anstu Stables, won eight of 19 races, earned $1,369,714, and was voted 2006 New York-bred champion male sprinter and older male. He captured four stakes, including the Palos Verdes (gr. II) and Maryland Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. III) Handicaps. His five stakes-placings include runner-up efforts in last year's TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) and this year's Gulf News Dubai Golden Shaheen (UAE-I).

Bred by Kildare Stud and Adrian Regan, Friendly Island was produced from the winning Ogygian mare Island Queen.

Greeley’s Galaxy, the 2005 Illinois Derby (G2) winner, will begin his stallion career in 2007 at Susan and Howard Kaskel’s SugarMaple Farm in Poughquag, New York.

The four-year-old Mr. Greeley colt out of Ascot Starre, by Ascot Knight, will stand for $7,500. Greeley’s Galaxy won the Illinois Derby by 9 1⁄2 lengths in his stakes debut for owner B. Wayne Hughes and trainer Warren Stute. He finished unplaced in the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness Stakes (G1) and third to Unbridled Energy in the 2006 San Fernando Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G2).

“Greeley’s Galaxy had exceptional speed which he carried two
turns,” Sugar Maple manager Dan Hayden said. “Anyone who saw
his effort in the Illinois Derby had to be impressed by the way he
dominated that field. He just took charge of a major prep for the
Kentucky Derby, pouring it on in the stretch to win by nearly ten
lengths. He is also by Mr. Greeley, the sire of El Corredor, one of
the leading and most promising young stallions in Kentucky.”
Bred by Runnymede Farm Inc., Catesby Clay, and Joseph and Wendy
Clay, Greeley’s Galaxy won four of 14 career starts and earned $446,222.
