00:30This week on the TDN Writer's Room, we welcome back our new advertiser, Pleasant

00:35Acre Stallions in Ocala, Florida. A 400-acre property which is home to 13

00:41stallions, including Chess Chief. Now I'm down here in Ocala, Florida. Perhaps I

00:47might go and give them a visit. All right, Chess Chief, if you remember him, he's a

00:51graded stakes winning son of an intermischief. He's new to stud in 2024. I

00:56can tell you he is one good-looking horse. He was the winner of the Grade 2

01:00New Orleans Classic and the Tenacious Stakes at the Fairgrounds. He is out of a

01:05Grade 1 winning mineshaft mare. Her name was Unblessed. Chess Chief was also the

01:11Virginia-bred Horse of the Year and Older Champion in 2021. He's about as

01:16solid as they come, being campaigned over six consecutive seasons. Think about that,

01:22six. Most only stand for one. He raced from two to seven where he beat talented

01:28Grade 1 winners such as Mucho Gusto, Long Range Toddy, and Roadster, twice. And I do

01:34remember him running in the 2019 Bluegrass where Vekoma and Win-Win-Win

01:40were just a few lengths in front of him. Chess Chief stands for $5,000.
