Winbak Farm of Delaware is proud to introduce He’s Watching for the 2022 breeding season.

 

He’s Watching was the 2013 USHWA Dan Patch Award Winner for 2-Year-Old Pacing Colts. At 2, He’s Watching was undefeated and set World Records on a half, five-eighths and a mile track.

 

“In my opinion, He’s Watching’s most impressive race was his Meadowlands Pace victory when he won in 1:46.4 and had a last quarter of 25.3,” said Jack Burke, Winbak Farm. “This victory matched the all-age World Record and made him the fastest three-year-old to ever win at The Meadowlands.”

 

At 3, he won the Empire Breeders Classic elimination and Final, Meadowlands Pace elimination and Final and Somebeachsomewhere Stakes elimination. He was second in Bluegrass Series division, Cane Pace Final, and North America Cup elimination (third in Final).

 

“He’s probably one of the fastest horses I’ve ever driven,” said Tim Tetrick. “The day he won the Meadowlands Pace, he was shot out of a rocket.”

 

He’s Watching is fondly remembered for his speed by his trainer as well.

 

“He’s Watching had indescribable speed and showed it on every size track,” said David Menary, trainer.

 

He’s Watching’s Stakes Winners are led by 2020 O’Brien Award Winner, Tattoo Artist, p, 2, 1:52s; 3, 1:48.2s; 1:47.1 -'21 ($904,617).

 

“Tattoo Artist has a sub 1:50 record on a mile, seven-eighths, five-eighths and a half-mile,” said Eric Cherry, Let It Ride Stables. “His versatility has made me into a believer of He’s Watching.”

 

Cherry has high hopes for the progeny of He’s Watching.

 

“Once I experienced the pleasure and thrills of owning Tattoo Artist and watching his performances on all size race-tracks I had to get involved with owning a share of his sire and breeding mares to him,” said Cherry.

 

He’s Watching is also the sire of 2021 Ontario Stakes standouts, Dabarndawgswatchin, p, 2, 1:54.3s; 3, 1:50.3s -'21 ($188,036), and Century Inspector, p, 2, Q1:59.3s -'21; BT1:51.3s-'21 ($102,893).

 

“He’s Watching will be the fastest stallion standing in Delaware,” said Burke. “We are excited to introduce the next generation of American Ideal to the first state.”

 

He’s Watching will stand for $5,000 in 2022. For more information on He’s Watching, visit www.winbakfarm.com or call Jack Burke at 410-885-3059 or Eric Cherry at 561-212-5700.
