First-Year Honest Mischief Heads Sequel New York’s 2021 Stallion Roster

Sequel Stallions New York announces its 2021 stud fees, led by New York's first son of 2020 leading sire Into Mischief, Honest Mischief who will stand for $6,500 LFSN.

The freaky-fast bay is new for the 2021 season and will be backed by a syndicate led by Sequel, with global powerhouse Juddmonte Farms in support.

New York's perennial leading sire Freud will stand for $5,000. Freud, New York's leading sire by number of black type winners, turf, and AEI is the versatile full brother to Giant's Causeway. He has lifetime progeny earnings over $65 million dollars aptly earning his nom de course as the “King Of New York.”

“It is a very tough climate in the sales market anywhere now, but especially in the regional markets. We want to give our breeders a chance to be profitable,” said Sequel's Becky Thomas. “The recent sales in Kentucky have clearly demonstrated breeding in Kentucky does not guarantee a profit. The lower stallion fees, no transportation or boarding costs coupled with the lucrative purse structure NYRA offers and resulting awards will give our breeders the opportunity to recover from the dismal 2020 season.”

Unbridled's Song's Grade 1-performing millionaire, Mission Impazible has led every crop he has had of racing age with progeny earnings over $9 million dollars with just five crops of racing age and 45 percent winners. Twin Creeks Farm and Sequel continue to provide support secondary to his progeny success on the racetrack.

Multiple stakes winner Union Jackson is the first son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin to stand in New York. He is out of Hot Dixie Chick, a Grade 1-winning half-sister to Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming. Standing in New York for a partnership between Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings and Sequel New York, his gorgeous first crop are looking to be very fast 2-year-olds of 2021.

Track record-setting, multiple graded stakes winner, Destin, a full brother to Grade 1 sire Creative Cause, was nosed in the Belmont Stakes. He is owned by a syndicate and is supported by Gainesway Farm, Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Twin Creeks Farm as well as Sequel New York.

The 2021 Sequel New York Roster is:

Destin – $2,500 (Giant's Causeway – Dream Of Summer, by Siberian Summer)
Freud – $5,000 (Storm Cat – Mariah's Storm, by Rahy)
Honest Mischief – $6,500 (Into Mischief – Honest Lady, by Seattle Slew)
Mission Impazible – $2,500 (Unbridled's Song – La Paz, by Hold Your Peace)
Union Jackson – $2,500 (Curlin – Hot Dixie Chick, by Dixie Union)

All fees are Live Foal/Stands & Nurses. Multiple mare discounts are available as well as incentives for repeat breeders.

Due to covid restrictions, it is unlikely there will be a stallion showcase this year. Virtual inspections for all the stallions will be available in the near future.

Stakes Winner Honest Mischief Retired To Stud At Sequel Stallions

Stakes winning sprinter, Honest Mischief (Into Mischief – Honest Lady by Seattle Slew), has been retired to Sequel Stallions New York, where he will stand for a fee of $6,500 LFSN.

Bred and raced by leading global powerhouse, Juddmonte Farm, Honest Mischief broke his maiden in his second start by eight lengths at Keeneland becoming a TDN Rising Star and earning an outstanding 2 Ragozin Number. He became a stakes winner winning the Force The Pass City of Laurel Stakes and was second to the brilliantly fast Volatile in the Aristides Stakes at Churchill Downs. Honest Mischief became graded stakes-placed in the Grade 2 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga. He bested G1 stakes winners Mind Control and Complexity in the G1 Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont. Honest Mischief retires with four wins, three seconds, and one third in nine career starts with earnings of $287,464.

“Honest Mischief identified himself very early as one of the best dirt prospects of his crop in our barn.” Said Chad Brown, Trainer. “He proved to be very fast, durable, and consistent in both the mornings and afternoons. He has all the qualities my really good Into Mischief's have. I have never had a horse run a 2 Ragozin Number so early in his 3-year-old year. He was very, very fast!”

Honest Mischief hails from one of the most significant families in the stud book today. His G1 stakes winning dam, Honest Lady, is a half-sister to 4 Graded Stakes winners including G1 Classic winner, Empire Maker, as well as sires, Chester House and Decarchy. Honest Lady established herself as one of the most important racehorses of her generation winning the G1 Santa Monica Handicap and running 2nd against colts in the Breeders' Cup Sprint. Honest Mischief is also the grandson of Broodmare Of The Year, Leslie's Lady, and Toussaud.

“Honest Mischief's pedigree epitomizes the simplistic Juddmonte approach of matching the world's best dirt stallion with Prince Khalid's best dirt family.” Said Garrett O'Rourke, Manager of Juddmonte Farm. “Honest Lady was a nose away from being a Breeders Cup Sprint G1 champion in the fastest ever Breeder's Cup Sprint. She also placed in a Met Mile G1 against colts, and was the most beautiful little mare with a regal personality. Then to be by Seattle Slew out of broodmare of the year, Toussaud, and dam of G1 winner, First Defense, illustrates the peerless quality of this pedigree. Honest Mischief was pegged as a real talent by our exercise riders from the very beginning. He had raw speed, he was sound, and he had desire. He placed behind stars like Shancelot and Volatile at the top of their games and when he won, he won like a G1 horse. Honest Mischief has such a genetic concentration of classic talent, on top and bottom of his pedigree, that expectation of his success at stud is just a given.”

“Into Mischief is the most dominant sire of our times, rocketing to stardom from the very ordinary mares originating from his first books. To stand at stud the son of such an incredible sire as well as the magnificent female family Honest Mischief exhibits is beyond exciting,” said Becky Thomas of Sequel New York. “I am a super fan of Into Mischief and am honored to bring Honest Mischief to New York with the support and participation of Juddmonte Farm.”

Honest Mischief Retired to Sequel Stallions

Blue-blooded black-type winner and graded stakes-placed Honest Mischief (Into Mischief–Honest Lady, by Seattle Slew), who hails from one of the top families in the stud book, has been retired to Sequel Stallions New York. He will stand for $6,500 LFSN.

The Juddmonte homebred broke his maiden at second asking at Keeneland at three by eight lengths and was tabbed a ‘TDN Rising Star‘ by virtue of that win, then went on to be third behind Shancelot (Shanghai Bobby) in the GII Amsterdam S. at Saratoga in just his fourth career start. An allowance win at Keeneland and a win in the Force the Pass City of Laurel S. at Laurel closed out his sophomore campaign. He began this year with a runner-up finish to Volatile (Violence) in Churchill’s Aristides S. and closed with it with a win via disqualification at the same track in September. The Chad Brown trainee retires with a record of 9-4-3-1 and earnings of $287,464.

“Honest Mischief was pegged as a real talent by our exercise riders from the very beginning,” said Juddmonte’s Garrett O’Rourke. “He had raw speed, he was sound, and he had desire. He placed behind stars like Shancelot and Volatile at the top of their games and when he won, he won like a Grade I horse. Honest Mischief has such a genetic concentration of classic talent, on top and bottom of his pedigree, that expectation of his success at stud is just a given.”

By record-setting leading sire Into Mischief, Honest Mischief is from the signature Juddmonte family of Toussud (El Gran Senor). The remarkable Grade I-winning mare became a blue hen, producing Classic winner and sire Empire Maker (Unbridled), as well as GISW and sire Chester House (Mr. Prospector), GISW Chiselling (Woodman), MGSW, GISP, and sire Decarchy (Distant View), and GISW Honest Lady (Seattle Slew), who is Honest Mischief’s dam. Honest Mischief is one of four black-type winners out of Honest Lady, including GISW and sire First Defence (Unbridled’s Song).

“To stand at stud the son of such an incredible sire, as well as the magnificent female family Honest Mischief exhibits, is beyond exciting,” said Sequel’s Becky Thomas. “I am a super fan of Into Mischief and am honored to bring Honest Mischief to New York with the support and participation of Juddmonte Farm.”
