Multiple Grade 1 Winner San Lorenzo Retired to Spring Hill Farms

KAPLAN, LA—NOVEMBER 22, 2021—San Lorenzo SI 105, winner of two $1-million dollar futurities in 2020, has been retired from racing and will stand the 2022 breeding season at Spring Hill Farms for a fee of $2,500, with consideration, the Kaplan, Louisiana farm announced today.

"San Lorenzo was one of the fastest Louisiana Million Futurity winners ever. He is a wonderful blend of looks, pedigree and speed," said David Dunn, Spring Hill Farms owner. "He was a $65,000 LQHBA yearling repurchase bought privately from his breeders by Rogelio Marquez, Jr."

"San Lorenzo possess a classic pedigree on both top and bottom for 'siring sires' and 'producing sires'. This magnificent young sire prospect is expected to arrive here mid December and I invite all breeders to come by and see him," Dunn concluded.

Bred by Jim and Natalie Montgomery and campaigned by Rogelio Marquez, Jr., San Lorenzo won five of seven career starts including the $1,000,000 LQHBA Louisiana Million Futurity(G1) and the $1,025,782 Lee Berwick Futurity(RG1), the richest Quarter Horse race ever run in Louisiana.

Considered for year-end racing honors last season, the bay colt was the #2 highest money earning Quarter Horse in the nation with $993,340, behind only AQHA Racing World Champion, Champion 2-Year-Old and Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Whistle Stop Cafe.

In his only start at 3, he drew away to a 2-¼ length win in his trial for the Sam Houston Derby(G3), completing the 350 yards in :17.408 seconds, a career high 105 speed index. He set the fastest qualifying time but did not run back in the final. San Lorenzo pushed his career earnings total to $1,010,662.

San Lorenzo will be the first Louisiana Bred Millionaire to stand at stud.

To date his sire, Grade 2 winner Coronas Leaving You SI 103 ($278,358), is the sire of 283 winners, 45 black type, 1 champion with earnings of over $13.2 million and average earnings per starter of nearly $28,000.
