from Blue Chip Farms

Wallkill, NY — Credit Winner, Blue Chip Farms’ premier trotting sire, was taken to the New Bolton Center at the University of Pennsylvania on Feb. 20 for a comprehensive reproduction evaluation after he was unable to be collected at the start of the 2010 breeding season.

A treatment program was initiated and he was returned to Blue Chip on March 26.

During the time he was at the clinic, his book was reduced and mare nominations were made exclusively available to syndicate shareholders via the use of semen frozen last fall.

“Credit Winner was returned to the farm in excellent physical condition,” said Blue Chip’s president, Mike Kimelman. “If he continues to respond positively to the management protocol recommended by New Bolton, we are hopeful that his 2010 book may be expanded in the coming weeks.”
