Lost In Time (A Rocknroll Dance x Summer Mystery x Artiscape) has been extremely well received so far in his first year standing stud in Minnesota. He has an impressive lineup of mares already booked and more are coming in every day. Just a few of these mares include: the dam of 2023 Minnesota 2 Year Old Pacer Of The Year, the dam of multiple-time Minnesota Champion and Horse Of The Year, a mare that took a mark of 1:50.1 and has already produced winners over $650,000, and a mare from the immediate family of 2023 Jugette winner Ucandoit Blue Chip ($596,127), Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Champion Billie Bluechip 1:51.1 ($602,818), and Breeder's Crown Champion Molly Can Do It 1:49.4 ($889,308).

That'd be a deal-breaker for the majority of horses in amassing hundreds of thousands of dollars in their career, but not Capozzo. He still paced to a 3-year-old mark of 1:50.2 and banked just shy of $100,000 that year.
Despite "doing it the hard way" in overnight races, Capozzo earned well over $600,000 in his career, which one might argue is even more impressive than doing it in a select number of stakes races. It certainly says s...
