Tapit (Pulpit), the number one active sire in North America by Grade I winners (34) and graded stakes winners (106) and a perennial leading broodmare sire, will stand the 2026 breeding season for $185,000 at Gainesway in Lexington, the farm said in a release Wednesday morning. The rising 25-year-old, whose progeny have amassed earnings of over $220 million to date, is in line for a third straight title as leading North American broodmare sire and remains a commercial standout. According to the Keeneland website, Tapit's 19 yearlings sold for an average of $556,684 (including one post-sale transaction) and was led by a filly out of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Sharing (Speightstown), that sold for $1.5 million to Whisper Hill Farm, long a supporter of the stallion. McKinzie (Street Sense) will command a fee of $75,000 in 2026, pending the results of the Breeders' Cup. Himself a four-time Grade I winner at the races, McKinzie has been represented by three elite-level scorers from his first crop, including recent Pennsylvania Derby hero Baeza, a $1.2-million KEESEP yearling and among a select field of nine for Saturday's GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic. Scottish Lassie and 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Chancer McPatrick have also succeeded at the highest level and each makes an appearance in at Del Mar this weekend. McKinzie is also the sire of three 'Rising Stars' from his second crop–Golden Tornado, Big Dom and Dr. Kapur. 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard and two-time Grade I winner Locked (Gun Runner) is the newest addition to the Gainesway stallion roster and will begin his career at $35,000. Winner of the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at two, he took a Grade I-quality renewal of the GII Cigar Mile Handicap last year, defeating the likes of Grade I winners Book'em Danno (Bucchero) and Mullikin (Violence) in the process. His signature victory at four came in the prestigious GI Santa Anita Handicap, where he romped home by a record-setting 8 1/2 lengths, good for a 109 Beyer Speed Figure. Olympiad (Speightstown) was represented by his first crop of yearlings this season, led by a pair of horses that sold for $400,000 each. He will cover mares at $20,000 in 2026. Drain the Clock (Maclean's Music) will serve mares at $10,000 on the heels of a successful yearling sales season. The sire of 25 six-figure yearlings in 2025, the most among first-crop sires standing for $20,000 or less, Drain the Clock had the highest return on investment (7.74 times initial stud fee) of any first-crop stallion through the Keeneland September Sale. A quartet of stallions will be covering their second books of mares next season. Muth (Good Magic, $30,000) bred 185 mares in his first book, while Arrogate's top-earning son Seize the Grey ($25,000) was mated to 196 mares. Charge It (Tapit, $12,500) was one of the most popular freshman covering sires in 2025, having served 235 mares, and the list is completed by Tapit Trice (Tapit, $10,000). GAINESWAY STUD FEES — 2026 Charge It (Tapit), $12,500 Drain the Clock (Maclean's Music), $10,000 Karakontie (Jpn) (Bernstein), $15,000 Locked (Gun Runner), $35,000 McKinzie (Street Sense), $75,000 Muth (Good Magic), $30,000 Olympiad (Speightstown), $20,000 Raging Bull (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}), $7,500 Seize the Grey (Arrogate), $25,000 Tapit (Pulpit), $185,000 Tapit Trice (Tapit), $10,000 The post Gainesway 2026 Stallion Roster Anchored By Tapit, McKinzie appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

The dual G1 Champion Stakes winner and young stallion Cracksman is on the move to Yorton Stud for the 2026 breeding season, having been purchased in a partnership with owner Dai Walters. The son of Frankel has been based at Darley's Dalham Hall Stud since 2019 and is perhaps best known in his second career as the sire of the unbeaten G1 Prix du Jockey Club and G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Ace Impact. In total, he is the sire of 11 individual black-type winners, with the others including the G2 Premio Dormello heroine Aloa and the Listed winner and dual Group 2 runner-up Shembala. Cracksman, who has also produced a number of talented performers over jumps, including this year's Galway Hurdle winner Ndaawi, will stand in a dual-purpose role at Yorton Stud. Dave Futter, head of his family's stud near Welshpool in Powys, said, “We are very grateful to Cracksman's owner/breeder, Anthony Oppenheimer, and to Sam Bullard of Darley for enabling us to stand such an exciting stallion. He has been bought by well-known racehorse owner Dai Walters in a partnership with Yorton Stud. We would also like to thank Richard Venn, who brokered the deal. “Cracksman represents a superb opportunity for breeders. His oldest progeny are five, but they include 21 career stakes horses, of which eight have raced this year. His yearlings of 2025 have sold to learned judges for up to £150,000 and there are 81 foals in his latest crop. He is a stallion who has achieved plenty, but promises plenty more.” Futter added, “The arrival of Cracksman is another proud moment for me, my wife Birte and sons Lester and Riley, who are the future of Yorton Stud. We welcome enquiries and visits from breeders and would be delighted to show the excellent facilities we offer, including our on-site veterinary practice.” A stud fee for Cracksman will be announced at a later date.

Godolphin's Sovereignty (Into Mischief), who was made the 6-5 favorite for Saturday's $7-million GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar when post positions were drawn on Monday, will be scratched from the race. The news was first reported in a Wednesday morning tweet by Daily Racing Form's David Grening. The GI Kentucky Derby, GI Belmont Stakes and GI DraftKings Travers Stakes hero spiked a fever post-travel to the West Coast, trainer Bill Mott told a media throng gathered at his barn Tuesday morning. The Hall of Fame conditioner reported that the colt was otherwise well, but that he would be monitored and that if Sovereignty was not 100%, that he would be scratched from the 10-furlong centerpiece of Breeders' Cup weekend. “Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock, he re-spiked another fever even though he had some medication in him, from 6 o'clock that morning he re-spiked another fever and we re-treated him and now he's on antibiotics,” Mott told FanDuel TV's Scott Hazelton back at his barn shortly after 7 a.m. PT. “He seems to be doing well this morning, his temp is one tick above normal and he looks bright and pretty good. But he's definitely out of the Breeders' Cup.” Mott said the horse appears none the worse for the illness. “No, it's unbelievable,” he replied when asked if there had been any change in the colt's demeanor. “He still has not missed an oat, he's in his haybag, he eats all the hay and alfalfa that's on the ground, he's got his nose in there and he seems to have a good attitude. I don't know if he knows he's sick. “There's nothing I would have changed, there's nothing you can do about it,” the Hall of Famer continued. “When it comes to something like this, it's just bad luck. You've got viruses and bacteria floating around in the air and for whatever reason, his immune system didn't battle it off. We would have loved to run, we'd love to showcase our horse, I know there were a lot of people who were really looking forward to seeing him run as well as our entire team. We were all anxious and excited about the opportunity to run.” Mott said that the plan was always for Sovereignty to be laid up in Kentucky after the Classic pending a decision on his future. Mott said Sovereignty was to fly to Kentucky early next week. Sovereignty's defection leaves a field of nine for the Classic. The 4-1 second choice ante-post is Fierceness (City of Light).
