Wyn Oaks Farm in Delta, Pa., makes its first foray into the stallion business with Weigelia, who retires for the 2009 breeding season, and for whom breeders can now get complimentary TrueNicks ratings, courtesy of the farm.

A millionaire winner of 13 races including Carry Back Stakes and Kenny Noe Jr. Handicap (both gr. III), Weigelia has sound claims to be regarded is the fastest Danzig-line horse at stud in the U.S. today. He ran fractions of :21.2,  :43.4,   :55.0, and 1:07.0 -- the last two times establishing course records -- and showed brilliant speed on both dirt and turf. His sire is by Danzig out of champion sprinter Safely Kept, and is closely related to multiple graded stakes winner and successful regional sire Partner's Hero (TrueNicks,SRO). On the distaff side of his pedigree, he comes from an historic Calumet Farm family that also produced the immortal Citation, Filly Triple Crown heroine Davona Dale, and Preakness Stakes victor Gate Dancer.
