Peace and Justice Relocated to Blackstone Farm

Peace and Justice, a three-time winning miler and a near record-performing son of top international stallion and emerging sire of sires War Front, will relocate to Blackstone Farm near Pine Grove, Pa., for the 2021 breeding season, the farm announced Nov. 20. He will stand for $3,500. The 10-year-old freshman sire has been represented this year by Like a Saltshaker, who won the Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Juvenile Stakes at Presque Isle Downs and was second in the Awad Stakes at Belmont Park. He is being pointed toward the Dec. 7 $100,000 Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes at Parx Racing. On the racetrack, Peace and Justice earned four consecutive Equibase Speed Ratings exceeding 100, including a Santa Anita Park allowance optional claiming contest in which he earned a 111 rating. In that race, a wire-to-wire mile victory on the turf in 1:32.36, he was three-fifths of a second off Vyjack's course record and just shy of Tourist's time of 1:31.71 in the 2016 Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T). Out of the winning Smart Strike mare Strike the Sky, Peace and Justice is a half brother to grade 2 winner Hudson Steele (Johannesburg) and stakes-placed Lauren Byrd (Arch), who is the dam of group 3 winner Hakam and Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (G1) runner-up My Man Sam.
