Inside Track:
“I am excited to have him in Ontario because he is a local superstar. He was born here, he proved himself here and elsewhere, and now, it’s just fitting that he stands in Ontario. He will soon be one of the best sires Ontario has ever seen.” – Cole Bennett

* well-traveled runner went on in later campaigns to win the Old Friends Stakes at Kentucky Downs, and traveled to Barbados to win the 2018 Barbados Gold Cup for owners Ken and Sarah Ramsey

* bred in Ontario by Bernard and Karen McCormack, Sir Dudley Digges is out of the stakes-winning Kris S. mare My Pal Lana, whose five foals to race are all winners
* eligible mares would be allowed to stay and breed at the farm this coming spring with no boarding charges. Plans are also in the works to offer bonuses to 2-year-old maiden special weight winners by the new stallion
* “He's a beautiful big animal. You walk through the barn and see him and say, ‘Wow, who's he? He must be the best horse in the barn.’ He could post big numbers on every surface, poly, dirt and turf, not to mention he won in Barbados going the "wrong" direction [they run clockwise there]” – Cole Bennett
