Currently owned by those that raced the nearly double millionaire stallion, Robert McIntosh Stables, C S X Stables and Al McIntosh Holdings, Thinking Out Loud was retired to stud after a brilliant racing career.

After just five years at stud, Thinking Out Loud has sired winners of $806,041 and will have a number of yearlings available this fall at the sales.

Seelster’s Reproduction Manager, Ann Straatman, offered, “Thinking Out Loud was a smart, happy horse who lived an exceptional life. He will be missed by all of us here at Seelster, but especially by his former caretaker, Nicki Pedden-MacQuarrie, and his current caretaker, Joanne McGinnis.”
