Group 1 winner Militarize to resume racing career
Three-time Group 1 winner Militarize has returned to training after fertility issues prematurely ended his stud career.
The now-gelded winner of the Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m), Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m), and Group 1 Sires’ Produce (1400m) was standing at Newgate Stud Farm for a fee of $38,500 but only managed to get a handful of mares in foal during his first season.
“Just a small handful (of mares in foal), so you never know, maybe they will be racing him in a few years’ time,” Newgate managing director Henry Field told Racing.com.
Militarize will return to Chris Waller’s stable in a few weeks to target a comeback in the autumn.
“He’s thriving and has settled into pre-training really well, and he is going to Chris Waller in a few weeks’ time to target the back end of autumn and into the winter,” Field added.
“We are excited – he retired sound and clean winded, so he’s got a bright future.
“The good thing with the Dundeel sire line is they get better as they get older, so hopefully, he will have plenty of racing left in him.”
