The feel good story of the year
Bloodhorse.com reported today that Teuflesberg, the three-year-old thoroughbred who was injured in the Grade III Phoenix Stakes earlier this year at Keeneland, will enter stud.
Teuflesberg scored his big win in this year’s Woody Stephens Stakes (gr. II) at seven furlongs in 1:21.49 at Belmont. He also played a part in this year’s memorable running of the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (gr. I) at Keeneland, finishing fourth in a four-horse blanket finish in which subsequent Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) winner Street Sense was second.
Also this year, Teuflesberg won the Southwest Stakes and placed in four stakes. At 2, he captured the Sugar Bowl Stakes and ran second in the Sanford Stakes (gr. II) at Saratoga.
Teuflesberg is my all-time favorite horse and I was devastated watching him go down on a nationally televised race. I’m glad to see he is recovering well and will be able to live out the rest of his life happy.
Go breed some speedy offspring, Teuflesberg!
