Louprint retired to stud after $1.7 million career

Champion pacing colt Louprint (Sweet Lou) has officially been retired from racing and will begin his stud career in Ohio for the 2026 breeding season. He will stand at Winterwood Farm under the management of Diamond Creek Farm.

A brilliant son of Sweet Lou out of Rockin Racer, Louprint was campaigned by Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Larry Karr, and Phil Collura. Over the course of his outstanding harness racing career, Louprint earned $1,763,910 and took a lifetime mark of 1:46.3, establishing himself as one of the fastest and most accomplished colts of his generation.

Louprint’s three-year-old season was nothing short of spectacular. He captured the $1 million North America Cup, delivering a powerhouse performance that announced his arrival as the leading pacing colt in North America.

He went on to claim additional major victories throughout the Grand Circuit, highlighted by a dominant win in the 80th Little Brown Jug, cementing his place among the sport’s elite.

Louprint’s 2025 campaign was also defined by remarkable resilience. In July 2025, he underwent an emergency surgical procedure following complications from a scrotal hernia. Despite the seriousness of the setback, Louprint made a remarkable recovery, returning to peak form just weeks later and capping his comeback with one of the most memorable Jug victories in recent history.

“His toughness and will to win are second to none,” said trainer Ron Burke. “After everything he went through, to come back and dominate again showed exactly what kind of horse he is.”

Louprint will be syndicated, details will be coming shortly. Diamond Creek Farm will serve as syndicate manager and a limited number of shares will be available.

“Louprint represents everything breeders look for — racing brilliance, looks, gait, and a pedigree that consistently produces champions,” said Shaun Laungani of Diamond Creek. “We expect tremendous demand for his services and we couldn’t be more proud to help guide this next chapter of his career as syndicate manager.”

Breeders wishing to book mares for Louprint’s first season are encouraged to contact Diamond Creek Farm at office@diamondcreekfarm.com or 717.638.7100 for contracts and availability.
