Briarcliff Manor, NY — World champion Chocolatier, whose first crop raced as 2-year-olds this year, will be moving to Pennsylvania beginning with the 2011 breeding season. He will stand at Marion Farms, which is located just across the New Jersey border in New Hope, Pa. The son of Credit Winner had stood in New Jersey since he first went to stud in 2007.

Chocolatier’s syndicate manager Geoffrey Stein made the announcement today.

Chocolatier’s first crop ranked him among the sport’s leading sires in yearling average and median at the 2009 sales and went on to include such stakes winners as Creme De Cocoa 2,1:56.3; Pilgrims Truffles 2,2:00.2h; Sweet Love 2,1:56.2f; and Seducedbychocolate 2,1:56.4, all four of whom made their way to the 2010 Breeders Crown.

Chocolatier stands for a fee of $12,000, with limited bookings available. All inquiries should still be directed to Preferred Equine Marketing at 914.773.7777 or e-mail lizanorcross@preferredequine.com. Southwind Farms will continue to handle the breeding of mares.
