from Seelster Farms

Lucan, ON — State Treasurer, one of the best open pacers to look through a bridle in recent years and Canada’s reigning Horse of the Year, has been retired to stand stud at Seelster Farms of Lucan, Ontario, starting with the 2017 breeding season.

Now seven, State Treasurer earned $1,908,424 during his illustrious racing career during which he faced the gate 106 times for a top three summary of 33-15-16. Trained throughout his career by Dr. Ian Moore, State Treasurer’s most successful season was last year at six where he earned just shy of $900,000 in purses and his life mark of 1:47 when he captured the U.S. Pacing Championship at the Meadowlands in a world record.

His other victories during that double O’Brien Award winning season included the Roll With Joe in a track record 1:47.2, the Canadian Pacing Derby, where he tied the fastest three-quarter-mile time in WEG history, the Dayton Pacing Derby, the Mohawk Gold Cup and the Molson Pace. It was the third straight time he’d captured the Molson Pace, Western Fair’s signature race.

Other major stakes to his credit include the Allerage at The Red Mile in 2014.

During his 3-year-old season he swept the Summertime Series at Mohawk, won an elimination of the Confederation Cup and two legs of the Diplomat Series (second by a nose in final).

He faced and defeated many of the sport’s best pacers throughout his career and was victorious over all sizes of racetracks.

He is the first foal from Ideal Treasure whose other offspring is State Treasurer’s full brother, the $168,698 winner Hickory Icon. His dam is a full sister to $592,582 winner Ideal Matters.

State Treasurer’s introductory fee is set at C$4,000. For more information visit www.seelsterfarms.com or call 519.227.4294.
