Grabill, IN — Fiftydallarbill 2,1:55s; 3,1:52.1f; 4,1:50.2 ($1,056,238), the winner of the 2017 Breeders Crown 2-year-old colt trot, has been retired to stud duty and will stand at Lester Schmucker’s Chapel Ridge Farm in Indiana. He is the fastest trotter in history to stand at stud in Indiana.

Campaigned by John Barnard, Fiftydallarbill showed both speed and durability on the track. During a one-month span as a 3-year-old, Fiftydallarbill finished third in the Canadian Trotting Classic at Woodbine Mohawk, traveled back to the United States and was defeated by a neck by Six Pack in 1:50.2 in a heat of the Kentucky Futurity on a sweltering Sunday afternoon, then came back five days later and trotted home in :26.3 to win the Indiana Super Final over Katkin American.

“He raced two heats in the Futurity on that incredibly hot day and to come back and win the Indiana Super Final, he just showed what an incredible warhorse he is,” said Barnard. “After the Futurity we didn’t know if he should race five days later, but he showed he was healthy and ready to go.”

Fiftydallarbill returned to the track as a 4-year-old and took a lifetime mark of 1:50.2 when he defeated Six Pack in a Graduate Series leg at The Meadowlands.

Fiftydallarbill is by the top sire Swan For All and out of the Royal Troubador mare CR Dixie Chick, a full sister to world champion and Dan Patch winner CR Commando 2,1:53.2z. Swan For All, the perennial leading sire in Indiana, has sired the winners of nearly $30 million, led by his richest son, Fiftydallarbill.

Fiftydallarbill will stand the 2021 breeding season for an introductory fee of $5,000 at Chapel Ridge Farm, presenting a great opportunity for Indiana breeders and anyone interested in participating in the Hoosier State program.

“In addition to his racing credentials, Fiftydallarbill has so many great attributes,” noted Schmucker. “I had Fiftydallarbill as a yearling and I’ve never had a horse as smart as he is. He’s just an incredible individual.”
