Murtajill has been retired from racing to join the Patinack Farm stallion roster this season.

“We are pleased to have such a precocious, well-performed juvenile as Murtajill joining our stallion ranks.  He was a dominant 2yo,” Patinack’s Nathan Tinkler said.

Murtajill returned as a 3yo and 4yo and was narrowly beaten at Group 1 WFA by Racing to Win and Apache Cat.
