New to California in 2016 is the first-year stallion Stimulus Plan, a durable representative of the powerful A.P. Indy sire line who hails from one of North America’s most revered female families.

A hearty competitor who won or placed in half of his 68 starts over an eight-year career, Stimulus Plan showed immediate promise at 2 with a pair of graded stakes placings, including a fast-closing third behind subsequent Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mine That Bird in Canada’s historic Grey Stakes (G3). The route specialist placed in two additional Grade 3 races at 5, and ultimately retired with lifetime earnings of $299,632.

Now 10, Stimulus Plan offers West Coast breeders access to A.P. Indy’s prolific son Jump Start, a perennial leading Mid-Atlantic sire whose progeny earnings currently exceed $43 million, and whose top runners include Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (G1) winner Rail Trip and the multiple graded stakes-winning millionaires Pants On Fire and Prayer for Relief. The bottom side of his pedigree is anchored by the influential broodmare La Troienne (Fr) and features several champions, as well as the notable modern sires Congrats and Flatter.

Stimulus Plan stands for private treaty at Richill Farms in Phelan, California.
