Multiple graded stakes winner and record-setting New York-bred turf sprinter Disco Partner has been retired from stud duty to take up residence at ReRun Inc. in East Greenbush.

The 14-year-old son of Disco Rico previously stood at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, most recently for a private fee in 2025. Disco Partner, who could be retrained for another career like several other stallions produced by the ReRun program, entered stud in 2020 for $5,000 at Rockridge.

Disco Partner won 11 of 33 starts with six seconds and eight thirds for $1,487,560 in earnings from 2014 to 2019. He won seven stakes during his career, including the Grade 3 Jaipur Invitational in 2017 and Grade 2 Jaipur in 2018. Disco Partner’s victory in the 2017 Jaipur – when he ran 6 furlongs in 1:05.67 – established a world record for the distance.

Disco Partner also won the 2016 Troy at Saratoga Race Course, 2017 Elusive Quality, Forbidden Apple and Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational at Belmont Park and 2018 Belmont Turf Sprint at Belmont. He finished third in both the 2017 and 2018 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint and placed in 10 other stakes.

The New York Racing Association inaugurated the Disco Partner Stakes for the 2025 Saratoga meeting, with fellow New York-bred Twenty Six Black winning the first edition late in the season.

Disco Partner sired 43 named foals in his career and ranks 41st on the 2026 New York general sire list. He finished 28th on the list in 2025 with progeny earnings of $279,630. Among the winners sired by Disco Partner is the sire of multiple stakes placed $166,236-earner Disco Star.

Front Run the Fed, a multiple stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed earner of nearly $800,000, has been relocated to stand at Ocampo Stallions Farm in Poughkeepsie.

The 10-year-old son of Fed Biz out of the winning Posse mare Lawless Miss will stand for $2,500. Front Run the Fed entered stud in 2025 at War Horse Place in Lexington.

Front Run the Fed moves to Ocampo Stallions after selling for $6,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Digital February sale. Seven mares in foal to Front Run the Fed also sold at that auction, including the Songandaprayer mare Ek Haseena for $50,000 and two others for $15,000 apiece.

A $300,000 buy out of the 2017 Keeneland September yearling sale, Front Run the Fed started his career with Klaravich Stable and trainer Chad Brown. He won four of his first 13 starts, including the 2019 Better Talk Now Stakes at Saratoga Race Course and finished second in both the Grade 3 Runhappy Turf Sprint Stakes at Kentucky Downs and Grade 3 Poker Stakes at Belmont Park.

Front Run the Fed sold for $400,000 at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July horses of racing age sale and raced for owner George Sharp and trainer Caio Caramori through the 2024 season. He won the 2022 Van Clief Stakes at Colonial Downs during that stretch. A two-time starter in the Breeders’ Cup, Front Run the Fed retired with a 7-4-4 record in 33 starts and earnings of $773,686.
