Hambletonian winner heading to stud in 2024

Diamond Creek is pleased to welcome 2023 Hambletonian harness racing champion Tactical Approach (Tactical Landing-Sarcy) to their Pennsylvania stud barn for 2024.

Tactical Approach, trained by Nancy Takter, is from the first crop of the red hot sire, Tactical Landing and out of the Donato Hanover mare, Sarcy, making him a half-brother to Double Deceiver (1:50.2, $822,579). He raced lightly at 2, making five starts with two wins in the Kentucky Sire Stakes Commonwealth Series. He came back very strong at 3 this season, increasing his bankroll to over $1.35 million, taking a mark of 1:50.1. Providing memorable wins in the Hambletonian, Kentucky Futurity and Breeders Crown, all from undesirable post positions.

Tacitcal Approach is racing tonight in the $205,000 Carl Erskine at Hoosier Park. He will also point to the $350,000 FanDuel Championship at the Meadowlands on November 25th.

“We have had our eyes out for another trotting stallion. Tactical Approach fits everything we were looking for,” said Diamond Creek’s Adam Bowden, “Pedigree, performance, and physical attributes plus intelligence, its all there.”

Tactical Approach will be syndicated and stand in Pennsylvania for a stud fee of $12,000, live foal. All syndication and mare booking details can be acquired by contacting Diamond Creek Farm at 717.638.7100 or office@diamondcreekfarm.com. You can also book your mare at www.diamondcreekfarm.com.
