Middlefield, OH — Il Sogno Dream 2,1:55.4f; 3,1:53.2f; 4,1:50.2 ($1,128,533), a son of Cantab Hall, is standing his first season at Bear Creek Stables in Ohio for the 2024 breeding season.

“Il Sogno Dream was the most gifted and natural colt I ever worked with. Never saw him tired! Took his mark at the Red Mile barefoot. When he was in top form, he beat the very best in his division,” said trainer Chris Beaver.

“Il Sogno Dream was a very tough horse who did not need a trip to win,” said driver Scott Zeron.

Il Sogno Dream is the co-fastest progeny of Cantab Hall standing stud in North America (tied with Father Patrick at 1:50.2). Notable achievements include a track record at Woodbine and the fastest North American trotter in 2015. During his career he won the Dayton Trotting Derby, Currier & Ives, Allerage Farms, Circle City, and multiple PASS divisions. He was stakes placed in such notable events as the Kentucky Futurity final, Goodtimes, Carl Erskine, and Old Oaken Bucket.

His first dam (Le Reve) was a stakes winner in both Italy and North America. His second dam is a full sister to Moni Maker who earned over $5.5 million during her career.

As a sire, he has produced 43 starters from 67 race eligible offspring with total progeny earnings approaching $2 million. He is the sire of six $100,000-plus winners and five in 1:55, led by the pair of Ontario Sire Stakes Gold winners Myretirementdream and I Da Princess. Myretirementdream is the 2023 2-year-old winner of multiple legs of the Ontario Sire Stakes Gold and earner of more than $121,000. I Da Princess has career earnings exceeding $189,000 and won two legs of the Ontario Sire Stakes Grassroots, placed second in two legs, and recorded a third-place finish in the final.

Il Sogno Dream will stand his first year in Ohio for a stud fee of $2,500 after a successful stint in Canada.
