Pleasant Acres Stallions announced Thursday that Simplification, winner of the 2022 GII Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth Stakes, will shuttle to Haras Carampangue in Argentina for the Southern Hemisphere breeding season.
The 6-year-old son of Not This Time began his stud career in Ocala earlier this year and will return following his Southern Hemisphere duties. The arrangement was established through a partnership between Haras Juan Antonio, Stud RDI, and El Wing, according to Turf Diario.
“We were approached by Roberto Vignatti, who really liked the horse and suggested we look into him,” Ignacio Pavlovsky of Haras Carampangue told Turf Diaro. “I watched all 16 of his races and was impressed by his speed, consistency, and durability–he never got an easy trip. We traveled to the U.S. with Endrigo Gennoni to see him in person, and his conformation and his foals blew us away.”
The partnership with RDI expands an existing relationship. “RDI joined in–we already share Ivar–and now the whole group is really excited,” Pavlovsky added.
Simplification’s racing credentials include victories in the Fountain of Youth Stakes and Mucho Macho Man Stakes. He placed second in the GIII Holy Bull Stakes and third in the GI Curlin Florida Derby before finishing fourth in the 2022 GI Kentucky Derby.
His career also features in-the-money finishes in the GIII West Virginia Derby, GIII Harlan’s Holiday Stakes, and the GII Gulfstream Park Mile in 2023.
The stallion retired with three wins from 16 starts and career earnings of $873,110. He stood the 2025 North American season at Pleasant Acres for $6,500.
Pavlovsky emphasized the stallion’s appeal: “He’s got the looks, the pedigree–being out of a Candy Ride mare–and I’ve always loved Not This Time. A new stallion brings fresh energy, and we’re all very motivated for what’s to come.”
