Peace and Justice, a brilliant miler by War Front and sire of multiple stakes winners, will relocate from Pennsylvania to stand the 2025 season at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in Stillwater.
The 14-year-old out of the winning Smart Strike mare Strike the Sky will stand for an advertised fee of $7,500 S&N.
“We are very excited to bring a proven stallion like Peace and Justice with his credentials and numbers to New York,” said Steven W. Young. “With the advent of a third racing surface, combined with the purse parity coming to the state, Peace and Justice should do very well.”
Peace and Justice ran three 95+ Beyer Speed Figures. He captured a Santa Anita Park allowance contest in dominant fashion by 5 1/4 lengths, and another 1-mile contest going wire-to-wire in a swift 1:32.36. Throughout his career, Peace and Justice defeated multiple graded stakes winners, including Grade 1 winner Drill. He earned “TDN Rising Star” status and ran 3/5 seconds off Horse of the Year Wise Dan’s course record at Santa Anita with a wire-to-wire mile victory in 1:32.36 (22.47, 44.55, 1:08.05, 1:20.20).
Peace and Justice is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Hudson Steele and the dam of Grade 1-placed dirt runner My Man Sam. He is bred on the same proven Grade 1 cross as Peace and War, winner of the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades and third in the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes.
Like his sire War Front, Peace and Justice has proven himself as a sire with a high strike rate, evidenced by nearly 70% winners from starters lifetime. Among his last 100 starters, 47% finished in-the-money, with 18% winners and $8,250 average earnings per start.
Peace and Justice’s top runners include Dontlookbackatall, winner of the Grade 3 Caress Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, Power by Far Stakes at Parx Racing and the License Fee Stakes at the Belmont at the Big A meeting this year.
He has also sired Like a Saltshaker, winner of the 202 Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Stakes at Presque Isle Downs; and Capo, winner of the 2023 Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes at Parx.
Peace and Justice’s 2024 stakes horses also include Calabrian Queen, placed in the Orleans Stakes at Delta Downs; and 2-year-old Beyondexpectations, who placed in the Whistle Pig Stakes at Parx.
