Spendthrift Releases Reduced Stud Fees for ’21

Spendthrift Farm announced Tuesday the reduction of stud fees for most of its current roster of stallions set to stand at the Lexington-based farm in 2021. Leading sire Into Mischief (Harlan’s Holiday) heads the roster at a previously announced fee of $225,000 S&N. Booked full, he represents the only stallion with an increased fee in 2021. Top sire Malibu Moon (A.P. Indy) and second-season sire Omaha Beach will both stand for $35,000 S&N. Malibu Moon stood for $60,000, while Omaha Beach stood for $45,000 in 2020. Fellow second-season sire Vino Rosso (Curlin), winner of last fall’s GI Breeders’ Cup Classic who stood for $30,000 this season, will stand for $25,000 S&N. Multiple Grade I-winning millionaire Vekoma (Candy Ride {Arg}) will also join Spendthrift for the 2021 season following a start in the Breeders’ Cup next month at Keeneland. His fee will be announced upon retirement.

“Breeders are the backbone of our industry, and the bottom line is that stud farms only go as breeders go. We are all in this together,” said B. Wayne Hughes. “Our team recognizes the challenges of the times and how the entire breeding community has been affected this year. If we had room to lower a stud fee, we did it. We wish every participant in this great industry the best of luck and the best of health in 2021.”

Multiple Grade I-winning juvenile Bolt d’Oro (Medaglia d’Oro), 2019 Eclipse Champion Sprinter Mitole (Eskenderya), and the Northern Hemisphere’s leading third-crop Sire Goldencents (Into Mischief) will all stand for $15,000 S&N. All three stood for $25,000 in 2020.

Additionally, fees have been reduced for the following stallions (all S&N); Jimmy Creed (Distorted Humo) and Lord Nelson (Pulpit) ($10,000); Cross Traffic (Unbridled’s Song) and Maximus Mischief (Into Mischief) ($7,500); Brody’s Cause (Giant’s Causeway), Cinco Charlie (Indian Charlie), Cloud Computing (Maclean’s Music), Coal Front (Stay Thirsty), Dominus (Smart Strike), Free Drop Billy (Union Rags), Gormley (Malibu Moon), Hit It a Bomb (War Front), More Spirit (Eskendereya) and Temple City (Dynaformer) ($5,000).

Sweetontheladies To Stand At Pleasant Acres Stallions In Florida For 2021

Pleasant Acres Stallions is pleased to announce that black type winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Sweetontheladies will stand in Florida for the 2021 breeding season with a $2,500 fee.

With 31 starts, Sweetontheladies finished in the top four in 21 races, including five graded stakes and eight black type races, with career earnings of $408,012.

“Helen and I are excited to have the black type-winning and graded stakes-placed sprinter Sweetontheladies join our roster at Pleasant Acres Stallions,” said Joe Barbazon, owner of Pleasant Acres Stallions. “He has retired sound and brings stamina and consistency as a tenacious sprinter on dirt to our stables. Sweetontheladies is the only Twirling Candy stallion in Florida, which gives breeders the opportunity to expand the Candy Ride bloodline in our state.”

Sweetontheladies is by track record-setting, Grade 1 winner Twirling Candy, out of black type-placed Whataclassybroad, by Yankee Gentleman.

Twirling Candy stands at Lane's End for $40,000 and was the number one fifth-crop sire by Grade 1 horses in 2019. He has sired 19 black type winners and graded winners on both turf and dirt, and in 2019, his yearlings sold up to $950,000, with 2-year-old sales up to $850,000. Twirling Candy's sire – Candy Ride – is a perennial leading general sire of six champions who stands at Lane's End for $100,000. Candy Ride currently has 16 lifetime Grade 1 winners, with 2019 yearling sales to $1 million.

In 2016, Sweetontheladies began his career winning a maiden special weight in his first race at Gulfstream Park. He also won the Juvenile Sprint Stakes that same year. In 2017, he won the Crystal River Handicap and placed second in the Millions Sprint Preview Stakes. The next year, Sweetontheladies placed second in the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint Stakes and the G3 Smile Sprint Stakes.

He was third in the Sunshine Millions Sprint Stakes, the G1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap, and the G3 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash Stakes. In 2019, Sweetontheladies placed second in the Pelican Stakes and was third in the Sunshine Millions Sprint Stakes, as well as the G2 Gulfstream Park Sprint Stakes.

Throughout his career, Sweetontheladies ran in good company. He beat graded stakes winner and black type winner Mr. Jordan (by Kantharos) in both the G3 Gulfstream Park Sprint Stakes and the G3 Smile Sprint Stakes. Sweetontheladies also beat X Y Jet (by Kantharos) in the Sunshine Millions Sprint Stakes. In the Pelican Stakes, Sweetontheladies won against millionaire multiple graded stakes winner Imperial Hint.

Spendthrift Farm’s Into Mischief To Stand For $225,000 In 2021

Spendthrift Farm's reigning champion general sire Into Mischief, the sire of Kentucky Derby winner Authentic, will stand in 2021 for a fee of $225,000 S&N.

“In our minds, there was only one box left to tick for Into Mischief and that was siring a classic winner. Authentic was able to do that pretty emphatically in the Kentucky Derby, and we continue to believe the best is still to come for Into Mischief,” said Ned Toffey, general manager at Spendthrift. “Authentic, Gamine and these 3-year-olds were bred on a $45,000 fee, and Into Mischief has continued to cover better books every year. It has been gratifying to see him thrive in the sales arena, including having the second-highest yearling average along with more seven-figure yearlings than any other North American sire in 2020. Into Mischief is the best sire in the world and set to continue to prove it. We are also confident he will become an important sire of sires and have shown that in our commitment to acquiring his best sons.

“We think he is making a positive impact on the breed that will be felt for years to come, particularly with the heart and durability that are signatures of his offspring. Into Mischief is just a remarkable animal that has the chance to be among the very best the breed has seen, and we feel extremely fortunate to have him,” Toffey added.

Into Mischief's ascent landed him on top in 2019 as North America's number-one general sire, a spot he continues to have a firm hold on in 2020. His current progeny earnings of over $13.7 million is more than $5.1 million ahead of second-place Tapit according to BloodHorse. Into Mischief has sired industry-highs by black type winners with 26 and black type horses with 51, led by the aforementioned Authentic and multiple stakes record-holder Gamine.

Spendthrift will announce fees for the rest of its 2021 stallion roster later this week.
