"The Bank is a successful international stallion and we are happy to be his North American home."
-Joe Thomson, Winbak Farm Owner
"It is great to see The Bank back in North America. I had the opportunity to develop him from a baby. He competed and won the most important races in North America. His speed, stamina and great attitude were some of the qualities that made him the fastest three-year-old in North America in 2015. I was also fortunate to train his dam Lantern Kronos, who made over $1,000,000 and was the O’Brien Three-Year-Old Trotting Filly of the Year. Her sire, Viking Kronos, is one of the most valuable and successful stallions ever in European breeding. I look forward to inspecting and purchasing The Bank’s first crop North American yearlings in 2022."
