The roster also features Tapiture, Higher Power, and Modernist, new for 2022, who will each stand for $10,000 S&N.

Dialed In, champion freshman sire of 2016 and a perennial leading sire of his crop ever since, is a leading sire of 3-year-olds in 2021 with nine black-type sophomores and five graded stakes horses. Among his top runners on the year are 3-year-olds Super Stock, winner of the $1 million Grade 1 Arkansas Derby and the Ellis Park Derby, and Mr. Wireless, winner of the G3 Indiana Derby and the G3 West Virginia Derby.

Tapiture continues to sire runners at the highest levels. The son of Tapit is far and away the number-one third-crop sire by winners in 2021 with 115 and he ranks fourth by progeny earnings ($5,984,770). Tapiture also tops the cumulative third-crop sire list by winners with 168 and ranks third with lifetime earnings of $11,864,933.

He is also represented by Jesus' Team, runner-up to division leader Knicks Go in the $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes in January and his sire's leading earner on the year, having banked $821,800 this season.

Higher Power will stand his second season at stud in 2022. A dominant 5 1/4-length winner of the 2019 G1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar, where he defeated a field made up entirely of graded stakes winners, including three Grade 1 winners, the son of Medaglia d'Oro was a five-time winner of more than $1.5 million. He posted three triple-digit Beyers in his stellar career, including a 107 Beyer in the Pacific Classic. Stakes-placed on dirt and turf, Higher Power also placed in the Breeders' Cup Classic, G1 Hollywood Gold Cup, and the G1 Awesome Again Stakes.

Modernist, a multiple graded stakes winner by leading sire Uncle Mo out of the Bernardini mare Symbolic Gesture, a half-sister to both Sweet Catomine, champion 2-year-old filly and winner of the 2004 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, and Life Is Sweet, winner of the 2009 Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic, has been retired and will stand his first season at Darby Dan in 2022 in partnership with Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock. Winner of the 2020 G2 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds and the G3 Excelsior Stakes at Aqueduct the following year, Modernist earned $576,300 for Marty and Pam Wygod and trainer Bill Mott.

Additional stakes winners this year include Bourbon Calling, winner of the Russell Road Stakes and runner-up in the G3 Ack Ack Stakes, stakes winner and multiple graded stakes-placed Princess Cadey, and six-time stakes winner Chalon, as well as impressive 2-year-old stakes winner and Grade 1-placed Super Stock, and graded stakes-placed runners Finnick the Fierce, placed in the G1 Arkansas Derby and Answer In, placed in the G3 Southwest Stakes.

He is also represented by TDN Rising Star Premier Star, winner of the Jersey Shore Stakes and placed in the G2 Amsterdam Stakes, and stakes winners Steph'sfullasugar, Vacherie Girl and 2-year-old stakes winner Chicks Dig Scars.

His top earner this year is Jesus' Team, who finished a rallying third in the Preakness Stakes.

Klimt, Quality Road's fastest Grade 1-winning 2-year-old, saw first-crop yearlings sell for $160,000, $120,000, $115,000, etc. this year. One of America's best 2-year-olds of 2016, Klimt was a powerful winner of the G1 Del Mar Futurity, where he ran seven furlongs in 1:21.80, marking the second-fastest time since 2004, behind only American Pharoah.

Higher Power, a dominant 5 1/4-length winner of the 2019 G1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar, is a five-time winner of more than $1.5 million heading into this year's Breeders' Cup. Higher Power has been a gem of consistency competing strictly in top company since his Pacific Classic triumph with graded stakes placings in the Breeders' Cup Classic, G1 Hollywood Gold Cup, G1 Awesome Again Stakes, and G2 San Diego Handicap.
