Peace and Justice, a brilliant miler by War Front and sire of multiple stakes winners, will stand the 2025 breeding season at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions, it was announced December 3rd.
On the racetrack, Peace and Justice ran three 95+ Beyer Speed Figures. He captured a Santa Anita allowance contest in dominant fashion by 5 ¼ lengths, and another one-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).
Out of the winning Smart Strike mare Strike the Sky, Peace and Justice is a half-brother to G2 winner Hudson Steele and the dam of G1-placed dirt runner My Man Sam. He is bred on the same proven Grade 1 cross as Peace and War, winner of the Darley Alcibiades (G1) and placed in the Cotillion Stakes (G1).
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.
His top runners include DONTLOOKBACKATALL, winner of the Caress Stakes (G3) at Saratoga, the Power by Far Stakes at Parx, and the License Fee Stakes at Belmont at the Big A.
He has also sired LIKE A SALTSHAKER, winner of the Fitz Dixon, Jr. Memorial Stakes, as well as CAPO, winner of the Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes.
His 2024 stakes horses also include Calabrian Queen, placed in the Orleans Stakes, and two-year-old Beyondexpectations, who placed in this year’s Whistle Pig Stakes.
“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 will stand for an advertised fee of $7,500 S&N.
