Dialed In Tops Darby Dan Farm’s 2022 Stallion Roster At $15,000

Darby Dan Farm has set 2022 stud fees for its roster of 12 stallions that will stand the upcoming breeding season, led by Dialed In who will stand for $15,000 S&N, the same fee as a year ago. 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.

Among Tapiture's leading runners this year are Vertical Threat, winner of the Russell Road Stakes, You Talkin to Me, winner of the Iowa Breeders' Derby, and impressive 2-year-old stakes winner and stakes-placed Flashfordani, winner of the Birdcatcher Stakes. 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.

Darby Dan will once again be offering various incentive programs in 2022 to provide value to breeders, including Profit Protection, Share the Upside, Black-Type Bonanza, and Goldmine 20/20 Match Program.

Strong Trade Continues in Penultimate KEESEP Session

Strong trade continued at Keeneland Thursday in the 10th of 11 sessions of the Keeneland September Sale and the second of three Book 5 sessions. The day's top seller was a Tapiture colt (Hip 3173) from the Paramount Sales consignment, who brought $145,000 from John Greathouse, agent for Glencrest Farm.

A total of 303 yearlings summoned $9.194 million Thursday. The average was $30,343 and the median was $23,000. In the pre-vaccine pandemic era last year, 244 horses brought $4.764 million during the 10th day of selling with an average of $19,528 and a median of $13,000. Those statistics include post-sale transactions. The RNA rate is down 33.33% from the equivalent session last term.

“It is one of the strongest markets I have ever seen, especially at the back end of the sale,” said Spider Duignan of Paramount Sales, the session's leading consignor. “Racing is healthy and I guess that is showing up. People are looking for horses.”

The horseman continued, “It's usually hard work in Books 5 and 6. I remember years when there was nobody left by now. It is just lovely to see. There is such a diverse amount of buyers. Honestly, there are a lot of people I don't recognize. It is a very strong market.”

Through the first 10 days of selling, 2,428 horses grossed $348,885,500 with an average of $143,693 and a median of $75,000. During the first 10 sessions of 2020, 2,010 horses brought $2335,224,700 with an average of $117,027 and a median of $50,000. The total number of RNAs is down 32.71% from last year.

The final session of Book 5 and the Keeneland September Sale kicks off Friday at 10 a.m.

Strong Day for Paramount Sales

Pat Costello and Gabriel Duignan's Paramount Sales was the leading consignor Thursday by gross with 24 yearlings bringing $1.169 million. They were responsible for the day's top two sellers, a $145,000 Tapiture colt (Hip 3173) and a $120,000 Bolt d'Oro filly (Hip 3182).

“We thought we had a decent bunch, but they definitely exceeded expectations,” said Duignan. “The market was very, very brisk. There was so much trade in the back ring, probably the most I've ever seen. You could leave the barn with no vet work and they jump on it in the back ring and you could get $60,000, $70,000, $80,000 for it. There is just a huge demand for horses.”

Bred by Davant Latham, the Tapiture colt was purchased by John Greathouse, acting as agent for Glencrest Farm. Out of Informative Style (Dayjur), the bay is a half to stakes winners Watch This Cat (Eskendereya) and Stylish Citizen (Proud Citizen) and stakes-placed Point Blake (Quiet American). He got a nice update when his 3-year-old full-sister Li'l Tootsie finished third in Saratoga's GII Prioress S. earlier this month. She is entered in Saturday's GIII Dogwood S. at Churchill Downs.

“He was a very nice colt, very racy,” Duignan said. “He had a good update on the female side. Again, there was multiple bidders on him.”

The Bolt d'Oro filly RNA'd for $24,000 at the Keeneland January Sale and was purchased by Paramount employees post-sale. She is out of the SP Distorted Humor mare Julie's Jewelry, who is a half-sister to MSW Saucey Evening (More Than Ready) and SW Petition the Lady (Petionville). This is also the family of dual-surface Grade I winner Evening Jewel (Northern Afleet).

“The filly was bought by two of our Mexican guys that work for us,” Duignan said. “They bought her as an RNA for, I think, $17,500, and sold her for $120,000, so that made their day today. They bought a Connect colt (Hip 3292) for $8,000 and got $65,000 for him, so some magic happened today.”

The bay filly is from the first crop of MGISW Bolt d'Oro, who has been in demand at all the yearling sales this season.

“Bolt d'Oro has been popular the whole way through,” Duignan said. “He has been well received by the market. She was a nice filly.”
