CANADIAN FRONTIER, a brilliantly fast son of GONE WEST enters stud at Airdrie in 2005 for a fee of $10,000 live foal guarantee. Airdrie Stud announced today the purchase of triple stakes winner CANADIAN FRONTIER by Sire of Sires GONE WEST out of the multiple graded stakes winner BORODISLEW by SEATTLE SLEW. Farm owner Brereton Jones said “I could not be more excited about having another brilliantly fast son of Gone West. Add to his brilliance the fact that his multiple graded dam is by Seattle Slew and that his first three dams are all Graded/Group stakes winners and I believe his chance for sire success is exceptionally strong.” A $325,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by John Ferguson for Godolphin, Canadian Frontier made six trips between the United States and United Arab Emirates from 2000 to 2003 after which he entered stakes competition and showed the brilliance anticipated. He annihilated a good field in the Bold Ruler Hcp G3 going 6 furlongs in 1:08 4/5. He won the $100,000 Teddy Drone Stakes in 1:09 and the Longfellow Stakes in 1:08 4/5. He won 6 of 13 starts and earned $253,239.
