Jersey Town - Press Release

Grade 1 winner Jersey Town has moved from Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky to Road’s End Farm, near Abbotsford, British Columbia.
The 11-year-old son of Speightstown out of multiple Grade 1 winner Jersey Girl will stand the 2018 breeding season as the property of Charles Fipke for a fee of $2,000,
Canadian funds. “We are very excited about bringing a horse of Jersey Town’s calibre to British Columbia,” comments Road’s End Farm owner Jack Bennett. “He should make a major contribution to the breeding industry in the Pacific Northwest.”

A multiple grades stakes winner of $819,668, the Fipke homebred finished first, second or third in 17 of 21 starts, and won or placed in nine graded stakes while defeating ten Grade 1 winners. He earned a 111 Beyer while defeating four G1 winners in his Cigar Mile H. [G1] victory; defeated Preakness S. [G1] winner Shackleford and G1 winners To Honor and Serve and Tapizar in the Kelso H. [G2] at Belmont Park; and twice placed in the Forego H. [G1] at Saratoga.
"Mr Fipke has foals by Jersey Town from some top mares still to come and will be supporting the horse
in British Columbia as well, so Jersey Town represents a great opportunity for breeders to participate in
a stallion with a lot of future upside," said Sid Fernando, president of Werk Thoroughbred Consultants,
Inc., and an advisor to Fipke.

Jersey Town’s first foals are 3-year-olds of 2017, and he has already sired earners of more than $1
million in 2017, with three stakes horses and nine winners to date from his current crop of 2-year-olds.
His 2017 stakes horses include 2-year-old Jersey Justice, winner of the $100,000 Hillsdale S. on
September 13 and the $100,000 Indiana Futurity on October 26, and classic-placed Bee Jersey, front-
running 3-length Keeneland maiden special-weight winner and second in the $250,000 UAE Two
Thousand Guineas [G3] . His sales yearlings have averaged more than $41,000 with individuals for up to
$500,000, with 2-year-olds averaging over $55,000 and individuals selling for up to $250,000.
