From Barton Thoroughbreds
SANTA YNEZ, CA—Bodexpress has been retired from racing and will enter stud for the 2021 season at Barton Thoroughbreds for $5,000 LFSN.
The five-year-old Grade 1-winning son of Bodemeister out of a City Zip mare retires with lifetime earnings of nearly $700,000. This includes his notable victory in the G1 Clark in November 2020 defeating Code of Honor, as well as his second to Maximum Security in the G1 Florida Derby in 2019.
Bodemeister has also sired Always Dreaming, the winner of the 2017 Kentucky Derby, and both Always Dreaming and Bodexpress have shown that they were able to carry their front-running speed over a distance of ground.
Julio Rada of Platinum Bloodstock brokered the deal and was critical in the securing of the new stallion for Barton Thoroughbreds.
Barton Thoroughbreds is pleased to add a stallion to their roster of this caliber and looks forward to supporting him with mares. Bodexpress is available for inspection at the farm in Santa Ynez, California.
