Port Perry, ON — Sunfire Blue Chip p,2,1:52.4f, 3,1:48.3f will join the stallion roster at Tara Hills Stud Farm in Port Perry, Ontario.

The 4-year-old son of American Ideal retires with $907,799 in earnings and several stakes titles to his credit including this year’s revitalized Prix d’Ete in Quebec.

As a sophomore, the Jimmy Takter-trained horse captured the Adios elimination and final, an elimination of the Messenger (second by a head in the final), the Tattersalls, Empire Breeders Classic elimination (second in final), Hempt elim (third by a half-length in final), etc.

Sunfire Blue Chip is the second foal of the Cam’s Card Shark mare Shot Togo Bluechip. His full brother is $1.7 million winner Heston Blue Chip p,3,1:48f. Their half-sister sold at last month’s Harrisburg sale for $160,000.

His second dam is a full sister to $1.2 million winner Kikiatie, the dam of Rockin Image ($901,756), Time To Roll ($774,917), Rockin Amadeus ($728,392), and Tellitlikeitis ($490,695); Just Wait Kate ($387,931); and Kiss Me Kate ($283,839). She is also a half-sister to this year’s multiple stakes winner Katie Said ($209,273).

This is the immediate family of the just retired Camluck, the leading pacing sire in Ontario for many years.

The introductory fee for Sunfire Blue Chip is $4,000. He’ll join the Tara Hills stallion roster which also includes Kadabra, Sportswriter, Mach Three, Mr Lavec and Royalty For Life.
