Karl to race at four

On Friday, Dec. 20, Diamond Creek Farm announced that 2024 Hambletonian winner Karl will not stand at stud in Kentucky in 2025 and will return to harness racing training.

“Karl has been at Diamond Creek in Kentucky since the first week of December,” stated the farm in a release. “Preliminary tests indicated he is unlikely to serve a full book of mares in 2025, however his fertility may improve over time. To all his fans and share/breeding applicants, we appreciate your support and patience. We wish Karl and his owners all the best and thank them for the opportunity to work this amazing horse. If you need help booking to another Diamond Creek stallion, please contact the office.”

A Breeders Crown champion during his Dan Patch Award-winning two-year-old campaign, the son of Tactical Landing-Avalicious is a career winner of 18 races and more than $2.4 million from 23 starts with a mark of 1:50.2.
