MUSCLES YANKEE & ROCKNROLL HANOVER TO REMAIN IN NJ IN 2012

MANALAPAN, NJ – December 7, 2011 – Perretti Farms of Cream Ridge, NJ will keep its premier stallions, the trotter Muscles Yankee and the pacer Rocknroll Hanover, in New Jersey in 2012 and reduce their stud fees, it was announced today.

Muscles Yankee, the sire of three consecutive Hambletonian winners, will stand for $10,000 and Rocknroll Hanover will stand for $15,000.

“As many distinguished New Jersey legislators have determined the need for increased gaming within the state is vital for added revenues, it is entirely possible that the climate within the state will be different by the time the produce from the 2012 breeding season come of age for the yearling sales,” noted Perretti spokesman Bob Marks.
