Clarksville, OH — Home Stretch, the fifth fastest son of Valley Victory, will begin breeding duties immediately at Hagemeyer Farm in Ohio at an introductory fee of $1,000.

His mark of 1:53.3f was taken at Harrah’s Chester, and the only faster sons of Valley Victory are Muscles Yankee, Lindy Lane, Bullville Victory, and Victory Dream.

In his record mile, he went wire-to-wire for driver David Miller, drawing off in the homestretch to win by five lengths. His sophomore record of 1:56.2f was taken at Hazel Park defeating older horses in the Open Trot.

Home Stretch won multiple times every year from age 2 through age 7 and retired with 45 wins, 19 seconds, and 11 thirds. He banked $314,645.

Home Stretch is a product of Valley Victory on a Speedy Crown mare, the same cross that produced the best siring sons of Valley Victory. He is owned by Mike Gulotta of New Jersey.
