Columbus, OH (USTA) — Earlier this morning, a report from USTA web correspondeant Karsten Bonsdorf stated that Malabar Man and Donerail have been sold to Italian interests.

While Malabar Man’s sale was reported earlier this week by the Meadowlands (in an interview with Mal Burroughs), the announcement of Donerail’s sale was totally in error.

Hanover Shoe Farms, which stands the 13-year-old stallion at stud, has confirmed that the horse has NOT been sold and that the report that he had been sold was not correct.

We regret the error and any inconvenience this may have caused.
