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.
