First Winner for Honor in War
Breednet - Media Release - Monday, 15 October 2012

Honor in War (USA) fired his first shot on Saturday with a first start winner at the Gold Coast. In Memoriam, a 2009 gelding from the More Than Ready mare Gacha saluted in good style, making him the first winner for his sire.

Honor in War (USA) is a Group 1 winner on Turf in the United States, but would be best remembered by Australian racing fans as the winner on protest over Takeover Target in the Villiers Stakes in 2008. He was a tough and consistent racehorse, running from 2 years old to 8 years old, having 40 career starts for 11 wins and 13 other placings.

Honor in War (USA) is by Lord at War (Arg) who boasts the unusual feat of siring 202 live foals for an astonishing 44 stakeswinners, and 25 stakes place-getters.

Honor in War (USA) stands at Ilala Stud at Scone on a bargain fee of $1100 making him an ideal prospect for breeders who want to produce a racehorse.
