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.

Shoplifted, Gold Double To Stand At Valor Farm In Texas

Valor Farm is pleased to announce two new stallions, Shoplifted and Gold Double, for the 2022 breeding season, further bolstering the most accomplished stallion roster in Texas.

Shoplifted is a son of one of the breed's all-time leading sires, Into Mischief, who is on his way to topping the North American general sire list for the third consecutive year. A $525,000 yearling who sold for $800,000 as a 2-year-old, Shoplifted earned nearly $600,000 on the track while making six starts against Grade 1 competition for trainer Steve Asmussen.

Shoplifted hit the board in three of those Grade 1 races: he ran second in the Grade 1 Runhappy Hopeful Stakes in his second lifetime start and third in both in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes and G1 H. Allen Jerkins Stakes. He also won the $400,000 Springboard Mile Stakes at Remington Park.

Shoplifted was retired from racing after finishing a close second to graded stakes winner Dennis' Moment at Keeneland in October. The 4-year-old is out of the winning Yes It's True mare Shopit. He will stand for a fee of $5,000.

Gold Double, a winning son of leading sire Medaglia d'Oro out of graded stakes winner Fiftyshadesofgold, has also been retired from racing to stand his first year at stud at Valor Farm. A homebred for Valor Farm's owner Douglas Scharbauer, Gold Double will stand for a fee of $1,000.

Gold Double hit the board in all five of his career starts, including a maiden win at Fair Grounds, and he brings a powerful pedigree to the Texas breeding program as the only known son of Medaglia d'Oro, one of the world's top stallions, standing in the state.

Gold Double is out of Texas-bred Fiftyshadesofgold, who earned $420,521 in nine starts with wins in the Debutante Stakes and G3 Eight Belles Stakes at Churchill Downs and a runner-up finish in the G2 Fair Grounds Oaks.

Gold Double's pedigree mirrors the long and successful history of Valor Farm. Fiftyshadesofgold, the 2014 Texas Horse of the Year, is by Valor stallion My Golden Song, perennially one of the leading sires in the Lone Star State. The dam of Fiftyshadesofgold, Hadif Cat, is by Hadif, who helped put Valor Farm on the map as one of Texas' top sires of the 1990s and into the 2000s. The pedigree of Fiftyshadesofgold also includes Grade 2 winner Alysbelle, a full sister to the great Kentucky Derby winner, Horse of the Year and Hall of Famer Alysheba, who was campaigned by Douglas' mother, Dorothy, and sister, Pamela, as part of the noted breeding and racing program with his father, Clarence.
