Perrysburg, OH – The Ecurie D Syndicate is pleased to announce that two-time world champion and 2022 Dan Patch Award winner Ecurie D DK, 1:49.1 ($1,516,807 U.S.) and sire of this year’s world champion 2-year-old colt trotter Lifetime Dreamer, 1:51.1m, ($170,500 U.S.), will stand the 2027 breeding season and beyond at Seelster Farms, Lucan, Ontario for an advertised service fee of $7,500 CAD.
For the past four seasons, Ecurie D DK stood at Southwind Farm in New Jersey, alongside three of the finest trotting stallions in the sport. He now gets his own unique opportunity to move to one of the most prestigious farms in Ontario, where he will have the ability to create his own path toward success in the rich Ontario Sires Stakes program.
Kevin Greenfield, Syndicate Manager for the Ecurie D Syndicate, commented: “I am thrilled that Ecurie D will be able to continue his stallion career at such a well-respected and prominent breeding farm in Ontario at Seelster Farms. He will now have the best opportunity going forward to get the number of mares he needs to become a top producing trotting stallion, both in Ontario and North America. He has proven already from a very limited small first crop that he can sire a world champion and Grand Circuit-level trotters. I have no doubt that the change in jurisdiction to Ontario will allow him now to reach his full potential. Seelster Farms will breed some of their best trotting mares to support him.”
Ann Straatman, President of Seelster Farms, agreed: “We are thrilled to be able to add a trotting stallion of such high caliber as Ecurie D DK to our stallion roster. I feel that fully supported, he will likely become a leading trotting sire not only in Ontario but also on the Grand Circuit as well.”
