Not This Time Heads Taylor Made 2022 Stallion Roster

Leading Second-Crop Sire Not This Time (Giant's Causeway-Miss Macy Sue, by Trippi) tops Taylor Made Stallions roster for 2022 with a fee of $45,000 S&N. Also joining Taylor Made for the 2022 season is four-time Grade I winner Knicks Go (Paynter–Kosmo's Buddy, by Outflanker), likely favorite for the Nov. 6 GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar. A stud fee for Knicks Go, winner of the 2018 GI Breeders' Futurity in addition to this season's GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational GI Whitney S., will be announced following the Breeders' Cup.

Currently, Not This Time leads all second-crop sires with 14 black-type horses, 10 black-type winners, two graded stakes winners, and heads his division this year with progeny earnings of $4,006,812.

Additionally, he is the leading sire by percentage of stakes winners in North America at nine percent in 2021; is the third-ranked leading sire of sophomore stakes winners in 2021, and the fourth-ranked leading sire of juvenile stakes winners this year. In his first crop, he was represented by Grade I winner Princess Noor when leading all freshman stallions with 29 winners and three black-type winners. His top performers this year include graded stakes winners Easy Time and Yes This Time.

Also highlighting Taylor Made's 2022 roster are Instagrand (Into Mischief–Assets of War, by Lawyer Ron) and Instilled Regard (Arch–Enhancing, by Forestry), both standing their second seasons at stud for $7,500 S&N.

A $1.2 million Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale purchase, Instagrand was named a TDN Rising Star following his impressive debut at Los Alamitos before annexing the GII Best Pal S. by 10 ¾ lengths at Del Mar in just his second lifetime start.

Instilled Regard, a $1,050,000 OBS March Sale graduate, a four-time graded winner on dirt and turf recorded his most important career score in the GI Manhattan S. He hails from a prolific family–his second dam is champion mare Heavenly Prize, the dam of Pure Prize.

Also standing for $7,500 S&N, GI Shoemaker Mile winner Midnight Storm (Pioneerof the Nile-My Tina, by Bertrando) and Mshawish (Medaglia d'Oro–Thunder Bayou, by Thunder Gulch), a Grade I winner on the dirt and turf. The latter will stand the upcoming breeding season for $5,000 S&N.

In 2021, Mshawish has seven stakes horses (9.1%) and is the co-leading Second-Crop Sire of graded stakes winners this year along with Not This Time.

Not This Time, Knicks Go Lead Taylor Made Stallions’ 2022 Roster

Taylor Made Stallions has set its 2022 stallion roster and fees for the upcoming breeding season, headed by number one-ranked second-crop sire Not This Time who will stand for $45,000 S&N.

Taylor Made will further bolster its roster in 2022 with the arrival of four-time Grade 1 winner and top-ranked horse on the NTRA Thoroughbred Poll Knicks Go, the likely favorite in the $6-million Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 6 at Del Mar.

A stud fee for Knicks Go, who won the 2018 Grade 1 Breeders' Futurity at two and this year captured the G1 Pegasus World Cup Invitational and the historic G1 Whitney Stakes at age five, will be announced after the Breeders' Cup. An earner of $5,553,135 thus far in a spectacular racing career, Knicks Go is a Grade 1 winner from eight to nine furlongs and has run triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures of 113, 111, 108 (twice), 107, and 104, all in top company.

Not This Time, a son of Giant's Causeway, is blazing a trail on the leading sire ranks. He boasts a crop-best 14 black-type horses, 10 black-type winners, two Graded stakes winners, and tops all second-crop sires this year with progeny earnings of $4,006,812, dominating his crop in nearly every major statistical category. In addition, he is the No.1-ranked sire by percentage of stakes winners in North America at nine percent in 2021; is the third-ranked leading sire of 3-year-old stakes winners in 2021, and the fourth-ranked leading sire of 2-year-old stakes winners this year.

Historically speaking, Not This Time, when compared to the industry's top tier of current stallions from their initial two crops to race, tracks extremely favorably to an elite group of stallions that includes the likes of Into Mischief, Uncle Mo, Munnings, War Front, and Tapit.

Even with the smashing early success, the future looks even brighter for Not This Time. His CI (Comparative Index-quality of mares bred) for 2021 was an exceptional 3.11. According to BloodHorse's MarketWatch, in 2019 and 2020, only 10 stallions in North America had a higher CI than Not This Time's 2021 book, and of those, all but one will stand for six figures in the upcoming breeding season.

Represented last year by the brilliant Grade 1 winner Princess Noor in his initial crop, Not This Time, the leading freshman sire of 2020 by number of winners (29) and black-type winners (3), has enjoyed another sensational season in 2021. His top performers this year include graded stakes winners Easy Time, winner of the $120,574 G3 Marine Stakes at Woodbine and runner-up in the $600,000 G2 Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs, and Yes This Time, winner of the $150,000 G3 Kent Stakes at Delaware Park and the English Channel Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

Instagrand and Instilled Regard will stand their second seasons at stud for $7,500 S&N.

Instagrand, a dominating son of Into Mischief and a precocious $1.2-million Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream Sale purchase, led gate to wire in winning the G2 Best Pal Stakes by 10 3/4 lengths at Del Mar in just his second lifetime start. Undefeated at two, he was named a TDN Rising Star after winning his maiden special weight debut by 10 lengths, clocking five furlongs in :56 flat, just .32 of a second off the Los Alamitos track record. He also placed in the G3 Gotham Stakes and the G1 Santa Anita Derby at three.

Instilled Regard, a royally-bred Grade 1 winner by champion sire Arch and a $1,050,000 OBS March Sale graduate, proved a determined winner of the $400,000 G1 Manhattan Stakes, defeating six graded stakes winners, including Grade 1 winners Sadler's Joy and Channel Maker. A four-time graded stakes winner on dirt and turf, Instilled Regard banked $983,240 in a stellar career. He hails from a prolific family—his second dam is champion mare Heavenly Prize, the dam of Pure Prize.

Standing for $7,500 S&N, Midnight Storm, a brilliantly fast Grade 1-winning son of Pioneerof the Nile, saw his first runners hit the track in 2021. Numbered among his impressive winners are Great Escape, who captured a $120,000 maiden special weight at Churchill Downs in September, Easy Come Easy Go, a maiden special weight winner at Gulfstream Park last month, and Electrostatic, a debut maiden special weight winner at Colonial Downs. After being represented in 2021 by first yearlings up to $200,000 in the sales ring, Midnight Storm saw first 2-year-olds in training sell for up to $550,000 this year.

Mshawish, Medaglia d'Oro's only Grade 1 winner on dirt and turf and his fastest dirt miler, will stand the upcoming breeding season for $5,000 S&N. Mshawish is represented this year by stakes winners around the world, including 3-year-old Bellharbour Music, winner of the G3 Prix Daphnis at Deauville in France, and Sainthood, winner of the $200,000 G3 Pennine Ridge Stakes at Belmont Park and second in the G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks at Turfway Park.

In 2021, Mshawish has seven stakes horses (9.1 percent) and is the co-leading second-crop sire of graded stakes winners this year along with Not This Time.

The 2022 roster of stallions and fees for Taylor Made Stallions are as follows:

Stallion	S&N Fee
Not This Time	$45,000
Knicks Go	To be announced
Instagrand	$7,500
Instilled Regard	$7,500
Midnight Storm	$7,500

Speightstown, Constitution Lead the Way at WinStar

Speightstown will head the roster at WinStar Farm in 2022 with a fee of $90,000, stands and nurses, the same fee for which he stood in 2021. Right behind the chestnut is Constitution, North America's second-leading third-crop sire, who will stand for $85,000 S&N, also the same as 2021.

Among notable changes on the 18-horse roster, More Than Ready gets a trim from $65,000 to $50,000.

“Our 2022 roster is suited for breeders at every level,” said Elliott Walden, WinStar's president, CEO, and racing manager. “Speightstown, Constitution, and More Than Ready continue to provide breeders with options from prolific sire lines that American racing thrives on. We have young, exciting Grade I-winning stallions, including Improbable, Audible, Yoshida (Jpn), Tom's d'Etat, and Global Campaign, who all have the potential to be top sires and lead the new generation of stallions at WinStar. We also have proven sires like Paynter and Take Charge Indy, who provide value with the possibility of getting a racehorse at the highest level.”

Speightstown, currently the third-leading general sire on the TDN sire list with progeny earnings of $13,443,275 thus far in 2021, has been represented on the track this season by Lexitonian, winner of the GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt H.; Flagstaff, winner of the GI Churchill Downs S. and the GIII Commonwealth S.; and undefeated 3-year-old filly and 'TDN Rising Star' Carribean Caper, winner of five consecutive races, including the GIII Dogwood S. Speightstown has sired 21 Grade I Northern Hemisphere-foaled winners on every surface, from six furlongs to 1 1/4 miles all over the world, and one Southern Hemisphere-foaled Grade I winner.

Constitution, sire of last year's GI Belmont S. winner Tiz the Law from his first crop, is the second-leading third-crop sire in North America this year on the TDN sire list with progeny earnings of $8,282,355, 29 black-type horses, and four graded stakes winners.

More Than Ready will stand the upcoming breeding season for $50,000 S&N. From his Northern and Southern Hemisphere crops, More Than Ready has sired 212 black-type winners, is the only sire to have an Eclipse Award Champion each of the last four years, and he added a new Grade I winner this year in Hit the Road, winner of the GI Frank E. Kilroe Mile.

With first foals on the way in 2022, Improbable, the 2020 Eclipse Champion Older Male, will stand his second season at stud for $35,000 S&N, down from $40,000 last year. Undefeated at two and a five-length winner of the GI Los Alamitos Futurity, Improbable rattled off three consecutive Grade I victories in 2020.

Florida Derby winner Audible, who bred over 400 mares his first two years at stud–more than any WinStar stallion in history–will remain at $22,500 S&N. He has his first yearlings in 2022.

Paynter, who is currently ranked eighth on the general sires list with progeny earnings of $9,687,843, will stand for $7,500. That fee is only guaranteed through the Breeders' Cup where Paynter's son, Knicks Go, a four-time Grade I winner, is the likely favorite for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic.

Stallions will be available for inspection by appointment from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. during the Fasig-Tipton October Yearling Sale, Oct. 25-28.

The entire 2022 roster of stallions and fees (subject to change) for WinStar Farm are as follows:

Stallion, S&N Fee

Always Dreaming–$12,500

Audible–$22,500

Carpe Diem–$5,000

Constitution–$85,000

Exaggerator–$7,500

Good Samaritan–$7,500
