Graded stakes winner Yesbyjimminy – Yes It’s True’s highest earning colt with a bankroll of $586,940 – has been retired from racing and will stand the 2010 breeding season at Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, FL.
A seven-time stakes winner, Yesbyjimminy has been a staple atop the sprint division in Florida over the last four years. He broke his maiden in his 2-year-old debut at Calder and went on to close out the meet as one of the fastest juveniles in Florida with four wins from five starts in sprints, including stakes wins in the Criterium S. and Fasig-Tipton Dash S.
At three, Yesbyjimminy earned a 110 Beyer Speed Figure winning the Eillo S. and placed third against the best sophomore sprinters in the country in the Carry Back S. (G2). Last year as a 4-year-old, the bay horse went on a six-race win streak where he captured four-straight stakes victories, including the Kenny Noe Jr. H. (G3), Jack Dudley Sprint H., Whippleton S. and Major Moran S. During that stretch, Yesbyjimminy recorded four triple-digit Beyers.
Out of the multiple stakes-producing Pentelicus mare Sisters Creek, Yesbyjimminy was campaigned during his racing career by trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. for Trilogy Stables. Now he joins the stallion ranks at Bridlewood as the only son of successful former Florida stallion Yes It’s True in the Sunshine State. Bridlewood stood the late Proud Accolade, a Leading Freshman Sire nationally who was also another top son of Yes It’s True.
“We are excited about Yesbyjimminy joining our stallion roster,” said George G. Isaacs, Bridlewood general manager. “With the success of Yes It’s True and Pentelicus as his foundation, along with his brilliant and very consistent race record, we feel he is a perfect fit for the Florida market. He is also a much needed outcross for the Florida mare population.”
A fee for Yesbyjimminy will be set at a later date. For more information on Yesbyjimminy, or any of Bridlewood Farm’s stallions, please click here.
