WYNNEWOOD, OK—SEPTEMBER 10, 2018—Pyc Fun N Fancy SI 105, winner of the 2018 Heritage Place Derby(G3), has been retired from racing and will join the stallion ranks in 2019 of Dunn Ranch near Wynnewood, Oklahoma. His fee has been set at $2,500 with consideration.

A son of leading sire Pyc Paint Your Wagon, Pyc Fun N Fancy is owned and campaigned by Jose Ernesto Guzman and Rio Sosa.

"He is brilliantly fast and he is everything you want in a stallion—looks pedigree and performance," said Matt Dunn, owner of Dunn Ranch near Wynnewood, Oklahoma. "We are excited to add a potentially breed-shaping stallion from the Corona Cartel breeding line, which has proven to be today's preeminent classic sire line. Pyc Fun N Fancy also hails from the female sire-line of First Down Dash, Heza Fast Dash and 2018 leading first-crop sire Coronado Cartel."

Pyc Fun N Fancy broke his maiden in the first career start when he posted the second fastest time for the $525,050 Oklahoma Futurity(G3) at Remington Park. He finished second in the final then won the $61,800 Laico Bird Stakes. The bay colt was third in the Grade 1 $1.15 million Heritage Place Futurity in his final start at 2.

He kicked off this 3-year-old campaign by qualifying for the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby and was fourth in the Grade 2 Bob Moore Memorial Stakes, facing older horses for the first time in his career.

Pyc Fun N Fancy rattled off three straight wins from May through August winning the Grade 3 $363,790 Heritage Place Derby and qualifying for the $1,238,655 All American Derby(G1) at Ruidoso Downs.

Pyc Fun N Fancy has won or placed in nine of 12 career starts and earned $478,660 through September 2.

"When you think about investing in a stallion, I want them to be athletic, fast and out of a top mare," Dunn said. "Pyc Fun N Fancy has it all."
