The superbly consistent three time Breeders Crown Winner was the 2018 Dan Patch Two Year Old and is the presumed 2020 Dan Patch Older Male Trotter. His bloodline, carefully crafted by breeder, Order By Stables, is an excellent cross for Muscle Hill and Cantab Hall line mares. Gimpanzee is a Chapter Seven son out of a Muscle Massive mare, Steamy Windows, from the family of Met’s Hall and ultimately Muscle Hill himself. In 2020, Iteration, his full sister, was New York Sires Stakes Champion, earning $307,009 with a mark of 1:53.3. In Lexington, his yearling full sister, Monkey Queen, sold for $475,000.

The Kentucky Sire Stakes program projects current and future increases in purses supported by the Red Mile and Oak Grove, with future plans for a third harness track. The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission recently announced a Stallion Bonus program that will go into effect in 2021. Any horse that results from a stallion standing in Kentucky and mare residing in Kentucky for 180 days, as well nominated of the program, are eligible to receive a 50 percent bonus for finishing first through fifth in all legs and the finals of the Championship Series Programs. Breeders are encouraged to board their mares in Kentucky for at least 180 days in the year they are bred to Gimpanzee to take advantage of the new Kentucky Stallion Bonus program.

Gimpanzee has a nearly flawless resume, leaving no questions about his talent and class. A future Hall of Famer joined Peace Corps and Mack Lobell as the only trotters to win Breeders Crown titles at age 2,3, and 4. He retired with 25 wins in 34 starts, a mark of 1:50 and earnings of over $2.7 million.
