Solera Farm In Florida Reveals 2022 Stud Fees
Dr. Krista Seltzer has announced that the veteran sire Greatness and newcomer Rogueish, will both stand the 2022 season for $2,500, live foal, at her Solera Farm in Williston, Fla. The farm will showcase the stallions at an open house on Saturday, Dec. 18 from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Rogueish, the only son of Into Mischief standing in Florida, raced just once, as a 2-year-old, winning a $41,000 maiden special at Fair Grounds by nearly seven lengths, and receiving an Equibase 'E' Speed Figure of 101.
He comes from a graded stakes-winning, champion sire-producing family, out of the Rahy mare Verdana Bold. He's a full brother to Lucrezia, a multiple stakes-winner at two, and runner-up in the Grade 2 Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Park Oaks to Preakness Stakes winner Swiss Skydiver. Verdana Bold is a graded stakes-winning daughter of champion sire Rahy, damsire of more than 200 stakes winners, including leading sire Giant's Causeway and other Grade 1 millionaires Declaration of War, Courageous Cat, etc.
Third dam Harbour Club is a record-setting stakes winner and runner-up in three Grade 1 races. She is a half-sister to Shinko Splendor ($2,648,506), and is the dam of Greatness. There are more than 15 black type horses under the first three dams, most recently including Hibiscus Punch (by Into Mischief, Grade 3 winner, multiple stakes winner), Turnerloose (Grade 2-placed stakes winner), and Into the Sunrise (by Into Mischief, multiple stakes-placed).
Rogueish, whose first crop are yearlings of 2022, is by the sensational stallion Into Mischief, leading general sire in North America for the past three years. In 2019, he became the first stallion in history to surpass $18 million in progeny earnings for a single season, while his runners established a record of 324 winning races. In 2021, he eclipsed both records with progeny earnings of more than $23 million, and 380 winning races, to date. Into Mischief stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., for $250,000 (2022), the highest stud fee in North America.
Greatness is the last son of super-sire Mr. Prospector standing in North America, and is the sire of four champions, winners of 847 races, 18 black-type horses and earners of $18 million. Six of his top runners have won a combined total of 89 races.
Among his 183 winners, Greatness is the sire of nine-time stakes winner Immortal Eyes, who compiled an outstanding record of 59-19-15-5 while earning $1,172,846, and set a track record at Charles Town – 4 1/2 furlongs in :50.09 – which still stands. Also, Good Lord, a 15-time winner and earner of $803,305, who finished in the top four in 30 stakes and set four track records, one of which – seven furlongs in 1:22.68 at Charles Town – still stands; and multiple stakes-placed, 11-time winner Lady of Greatness, who set a track record at Tampa Bay Downs which still stands – 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:02.79. Lady's Island, a multiple graded SW, won 18 races, earned $665,575, and in one span in 2019-2020 compiled a 13-race streak of 11 victories and two seconds, with five stakes victories.

Prairie Meadows 2022 live racing season will begin on Friday, May 13 and will conclude on Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022. A total of 84 racing days will be scheduled with both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse racing offered.
The season begins with 22 days of Thoroughbred-only racing from May 13 – June 18 and continues with a mixed Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse schedule of 60 race days along with two additional days of Thoroughbred-only racing. Quarter Horses will start racing on Sunday, June 19 and have 60 days of racing through Saturday, Oct. 1. The two additional days of Thoroughbred-only racing will be held on Thursday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Oct. 2.

Prairie Meadows Racing Management is currently working with the Iowa Horsemen's Benevolent & Protective Association, Iowa Thoroughbred Breeders and Owners Association, and Iowa Quarter Horse Racing Association on details regarding the 2022 racing season for both Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses.
Assistant Racing Secretary Chad Keller reports that the projections for purse money available in 2022 are looking strong for both breeds.
“We are still in discussions regarding Thoroughbred purses and stakes but the potential is there to see an increase in overnight purses and within the stakes program,” Keller relayed. “On the Quarter Horse side, we have agreed that Quarter Horse overnight purses are projected to increase around 20% across the board so the range of overnight purse levels would feature a low of $9,000 and a high of $16,200 for open company races. Iowa bred purses would range from $12,056 to $21,700 including their supplement funds. Quarter Horses in Iowa will be racing for the longest period of time in their history here with 60 race days over more than 3 months in 2022 and depending on how strong the horse inventory is, the potential to run nearly 10% more races for Quarter Horses would be possible. The Quarter Horse stakes program will follow a similar format as in 2021 with a few adjustments to some races for 2022.”
The first condition book along with the stall application will be available in early 2022. Quarter Horse Futurity & Derby nomination forms and stakes schedule information will be available in the coming weeks. Additional details on the upcoming 2022 live racing season will be announced and posted at https://www.prairiemeadows.com/racing as they become available.
