Bellavia to Stand at Pleasant Acres

Bellavia (Honor Code–Glacken's Gal, by Smoke Glacken) will stand at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Florida for the 2022 breeding season for a $2,500 fee.

Raced in partnership by Bella Inizio Farm, Fred Rosen, Madaket Stables, Wonder Stables and Randy Bradshaw, the 4-year-old retires with a record of 3-1-1-0 and earnings of $59,7000. The Jena Antonucci trainee's lone win was in a maiden special at Belmont in October of 2019.

“At Pleasant Acres Stallions, we are always searching for the most impressive sire lines to bring to our Florida breeders,” said Joe Barbazon. “Bellavia is by champion, dual Grade I-winning Honor Code and is not only the first Honor Code to stand in Florida, he is the second Honor Code to date to stand anywhere. His commanding presence and impressive build is just like his sire and his grandsire A.P. Indy.”

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.
