Bricks and Mortar All Set To Start Stud Career in Japan
The Japanese News has reported that Bricks and Mortar have arrived safely in Japan to take up stud duty at Shadai Stallion Station.
Breeding rights to the 5yo son of Giant's Causeway were acquired by Teruya Yoshida's Shadai Farm in a deal brokered by bloodstock agent Eugenio Colombo in early August, just before Bricks and Mortar won the Gr.1 Arlington Million XXXVII.
The candidate for 2019 Horse of the Year, he all six graded stakes he was entered in, five of which at the highest level, including a victory in the inaugural Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational Stakes.
Overall, the horse trained by Chad Brown for Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence only lost twice in his 13-race career over turf, placing third in both of those efforts.
