Dr. Krista Seltzer has announced that the veteran sire Greatness and the Into Mischief son Rogueish, will both stand the 2023 season for $2,500, live foal, at her Solera Farm in Williston, Fla.
The farm will showcase the stallions at an Open House on Sunday, Jan. 23 from noon to 3 p.m. Dr. Seltzer has also announced all mares in-foal to Rogueish offered for sale at OBS January will sell with a complimentary no-guarantee 2023 season to Rogueish, which may be used on any mare of their choice. There are 11 yearlings by Rogueish cataloged at the upcoming OBS sale.
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 G2 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 and Courageous Cat. 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). There are more than 15 black-type horses under the first three dams — this is the same female family as millionaire sire and sire of multiple track record setters, Greatness.
Rogueish, whose first crop are 2-year-olds of 2023, is by three-time champion general sire Into Mischief, leading general sire in North America for the past four years. In 2019, he became the first stallion in history to surpass $18 million in progeny earnings for a single season. In 2022, he eclipsed his own all-time single-season records with progeny earnings of more than $28 million. Into Mischief stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., for $250,000, 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 more than $18 million. Six of his top earners have won a combined total of 85 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.
He is also the sire of 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.
