Grade 3 stakes winner Ocho Ocho Ocho will stand at Haras San Pablo in Lima, Peru, starting in the 2021 Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
By Street Sense, out of the Horse Chestnut (SAF) mare Winner, Ocho Ocho Ocho captured the Breeders Cup day undercard Juvenile Turf Sprint Stakes impressively by 5 3/4 lengths (run on dirt due to weather conditions) and the 1 1/16-mile $1-million G3 Delta Downs Jackpot Stakes, beating Grade 1-placed Mr. Z in a tenacious fight, and showing the same E Speed Figure (105) as Goldencents and Gunnevara when they won the same race. Ocho Ocho Ocho remained undefeated as a 2-year-old and is, to date, the best 2-year-old Street Sense colt by earnings.

Editorial, a half-brother to top sire Uncle Mo, has returned to Anchor and Hope Farm in Port Deposit Maryland for the 2021 breeding season after the COVID-19 pandemic kept him in Peru longer than expected, BloodHorse reports.
The 7-year-old son of War Front shipped to Haras San Pablo in the summer of 2019 for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season, and he was scheduled to return to Maryland to stand what would have been his third season in 2020. However, logistical hangups with quarantine stalled his return in January of last year. Then, once those hoops were cleared, the initial global shutdown at the onset of COVID-19 crippled the cargo shipment industry and created a shortage of available cargo planes, leading to the decision to keep the horse in Peru for the year.
