hip No. 2823, was consigned by Warrendale Sales

A colt from the first crop of Journeyman Stud's Teuflesberg sold for $45,000 at Keeneland's yearling sale on Sept. 22. The Grade 2 stakes-winning sprinter joined the stallion roster at Brent and Crystal Fernung’s Ocala, FL farm after standing his first two seasons at Hurricane Hall stud farm near Lexington, KY, which closed its operation after the 2009 season.

The chestnut colt, cataloged as hip No. 2823, was consigned by Warrendale Sales, agent and purchased by Eisaman Equine. He is out of the Indian Charlie mare Apache Babe, who is a half-sister to the stakes winner Rule the Floor.  

Teuflesberg made 11 starts across the country as a 2-year-old, and he finished second beaten a neck by Grade 1 winner Scat Daddy in the Sanford S. (G2) at Saratoga as a maiden. He went on to break his maiden at Keeneland and captured an allowance race at Churchill in 1:09 and change for six furlongs, before concluding his juvenile campaign by winning the Sugar Bowl S. at Fair Grounds.

He made 10 starts at three, including earning his way onto the Triple Crown trail with a win in the one-mile Southwest S. – a race where Teuflesberg stretched his speed around two turns and defeated Grade 1 winner Hard Spun. Teuflesberg would go on to capture his biggest career win in the Woody Stephens S. (G2) on Belmont Stakes day, running seven furlongs in 1:21.49. He closed out his racing career with wins at five premier racetracks, including winning on both dirt and Polytrack, and earnings of $621,981.

Teuflesberg stands for a fee of $3,500, S&N.
