No Never No More Relocated To Pleasant Acres Stallions In Florida For 2022

Pleasant Acres Stallions is pleased to announce the son of Scat Daddy – No Never No More – will stand in Florida for the 2022 breeding season with a $2,500 fee.

Scat Daddy (Johannesburg / Love Style, by Mr. Prospector) was a multiple Grade 1 winner of $1,334,300. The sire of eight crops of racing age, he has had 134 stakes winners, 15 champions, and 791 winners who have earned a combined $93,255,766. According to BloodHorse MarketWatch data, in 2018, 24 of the 31 Scat Daddy 2-year-olds sold for $11,976,015.

“No Never No More is a handsome, athletic individual with a lovely head and kind eye. He exudes pure class as his pedigree would suggest,” said owner Irwin Olian of Tigertail Ranch.

No Never No More's first dam, Whosetheclownnow (Tiznow / Comical Cat, by Exceller) is by Tiznow, an exceptional racehorse who was on the board 14 out of 15 starts and finished his career at almost $6.5 million. A remarkable son of one of California's most successful sires, Cee's Tizzy, Tiznow is the only two-time Breeders' Cup Classic winner.

Retired last year from breeding, Tiznow was on the stallion roster for WinStar for almost 20 years with a stud fee that peaked at $75,000. Upon his retirement, his daughters had produced 37 stakes winners including Tiz the Law – winner of the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby, the G1 Champagne Stakes, the Belmont Stakes, and the G1 Runhappy Travers Stakes.

Whosetheclownnow is a half-sister to Cat's Eye Witness (Elusive Quality / Comical Cat, by Exceller) who produced $752,077 in progeny earnings with three winners out of four starters. She is the dam of No Nay Never (Scat Daddy / Cat's Eye Witness, by Elusive Quality) who was on the board six out of six starts with four firsts and two seconds.

A precocious athlete, No Nay Never broke his maiden in his first attempt and then went on to win the G2 Norfolk Stakes in Ascot and the G1 Darley Pix Morny in Deauville with his next two starts. A champion first-crop sire of 2018 and the sire of a champion from his first crop, No Nay Never stands in Ireland at Coolmore for €125,000. His yearlings in 2021 sold for up to $450,000.

No Never No More joins stallions Amira's Prince, Breaking Lucky, Bucchero, Curlin's Honor, Gunnevera, Handsome Mike, Long On Value, Neolithic, Ride On Curlin, and Sweetontheladies, at the 220-acre farm located just northwest of Ocala.

Pleasant Acres Stallions has received many accolades for excellence, including 2017 Florida Freshman Sire of the Year for Poseidon's Warrior, 2017 DRF Florida-bred Beyer Award, 2009 Florida Breeder of the Year, 2009 Florida Broodmare of the Year, Breeder of the 2009 Florida Horse of the Year, and was ranked third in the nation for leading breeders in 2009 by average earnings per starter with 10 or more starters.

Lone Star Special To Holly Hill Farm In Louisiana

Lone Star Special (Malabar Gold-Sunshine Special) has moved to Dr. Robert Hewlett's Holly Hill Farm in Benton, La. for the 2021 breeding season.

Benton Salmon has acquired 50 percent interest in the stallion who stood at Cherokee Ridge Farm in Carencro, La. for the previous two seasons for Irwin Olian's Tigertail Ranch. Tigertail Ranch has retained 50 percent ownership.

Salmon, a successful businessman with growing interest in the horse racing and breeding industry, is excited about his venture into stallion ownership and is planning on breeding a number of high quality mares to the stud.

“Lone Star Special has demonstrated remarkable success producing a number of high class runners from a very small number of foals,” Salmon said. “Notable among his offspring are Mobile Bay, Wheatfield and Trevilion. Lone Star Special has never had a fair chance and I intend to give him that. We are looking to gain the support he deserves from the Louisiana breeding community.”

Lone Star Special is an Unbridled-line stallion who is among an elite number of stallions that moves his mare up. Only 32 percent of all sires have a lifetime AEI higher than their mares CI. Lone Star Special has an AEI of 1.49 vs his mare's CI of 1.11. His statistics of 57 percent winners, $56,228 average earnings per starter, 11 percent blacktype horses and 19 percent 2-year-old winners, compete with leading national sires.

Lone Star Special is the sire of two graded stakes horses, both accredited Louisiana-breds.

Grade 2 Super Derby winner Mobile Bay ran from ages three to six, hitting the board in 21 of 29 lifetime starts. He won eleven stakes, often showing speed in route races of 1 1/16 to 1 1/8 miles, including the Grade 2 Super Derby, open company stakes such as the Sunland Park Handicap, the Maxxam Gold Cup and the Zia Park Derby, as well Louisiana-bred Stakes including the Louisiana Champions Day Classic at the Fair Grounds twice.  He placed in another five stakes including the G3 Oklahoma Derby. His lifetime earnings of $1,246,440 rank him fourth among all-time leading accredited Louisiana-bred runners. A multiple accredited Louisiana bred champion, Mobile Bay was named 2015 3-year-old colt or gelding and Horse of the Year, 2016 older male and Horse of the Year, and 2017 older male.

Multiple stakes winner, Wheatfield ran second in the 201717 G2 Inside Information Stakes at Gulfstream. She was named 2016 4-Year-Old and up Louisiana-bred champion filly or mare. She earned black type in 11 stakes events, many against open company, and currently has $394,603 in lifetime earnings.

“I am delighted that Benton Salmon is enthusiastic about the prospects for Lone Star Special and is now my partner in this outstanding stallion. He will be breeding a number of top quality mares to him this season. Together we are building a strong book of mares for 2021,” says Tigertail Ranch's Irwin Olian. “At a fee of $2,000, he compares favorably to many stallions in Kentucky and Louisiana which stand for substantially higher fees. His ability to move up his mares puts him in very rare company among Louisiana sires and suggests there will be a lot more good things to come from him in the future”

Lone Star Special will stand the 2021 season for a fee of $2,000 live foal payable when foal stands and nurses.
