Editing Strike Out (section)

==Stud career==
After compiling a 29-9-1 record in 44 races, Strike Out was retired to stud at the end of the 1972 season. While retaining a half interest in him, Beejay Stables sold the $15,000 bargain-basement colt for $1.5 million. His son, [[Striking Image]] became the first 2 year old [[Standardbred Horse]] ever to run a mile in the time of 1:55. Strike Out also went on to sire 1979 Jug winner [[Hot Hitter]].

In 1976 Strike Out was part of the inaugural class inducted into the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame.<ref>[http://www.canadianhorseracinghalloffame.com/standardbred/1976/Strike_Out.html Strike Out at the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080908012207/http://www.canadianhorseracinghalloffame.com/standardbred/1976/Strike_Out.html |date=September 8, 2008 }}</ref>
