Star miler Charyn will stand at an unchanged fee of €35,000 and will anchor the five-strong Sumbe roster, which was announced on Wednesday. A winner of the G1 Queen Anne Stakes, G1 Prix Jacques le Marois and the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes, he will welcome his first foals in 2026. A trio of Sumbe sires will have their first yearlings next year. International globetrotter Mishriff will stand for a reduced fee of €12,500, while the Group 1-winning juvenile pair of Angel Bleu and Belbek will stand for lower fees of €6,000 and €5,000, respectively. Rounding out the roster is Golden Horde at €3,000. He has a 46% winners to runners ratio, with Group 1 performers and listed winners among his first three-year-olds. “Our mission has always been to make excellence accessible,” said Nurlan Bizakov, owner of Sumbe. “We believe in long-term collaboration with breeders and this adjustment is our way of showing that commitment in a tangible way. By revising our fees we're giving breeders a genuine opportunity to access top-class stallions that match their goals and budgets.” The post Sumbe Sets 2026 Fees, Charyn Remains At €35K appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

BBN Racing's Kilwin (Twirling Candy) recorded perhaps the most dramatic Grade I win of the year in August, falling to her knees at the start of the GI Test Stakes before coming from seemingly nowhere with a relentless rally down the lane to just her nose in front on the line. BBN Racing, looking to capitalize both on the combination of that Grade I win and an expected hot marketplace, will offer the filly as hip 223 through the Royal Oak Farm consignment during Tuesday's Book 1 session of the Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale. “We are just thinking about whether this market is as hot as it seems to be and maybe we should see if we can maximize the price on her now while her Test performance is fresh in everybody's mind,” said BBN founding partner and racing manager Braxton Lynch. Kilwin was acquired by the racing partnership for $225,000 at the 2023 Keeneland September Yearling Sale and quickly repaid that investment when winning the $1-million Untapable Stakes at Kentucky Downs in just her second start. She was second behind GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint contender Shisospicy in the GIII Mamzelle Stakes at Churchill Downs in May before moving to the main track for the first time to win the Leslie's Lady Stakes in Louisville. That effort earned the bay filly a trip to Saratoga. “It was such a surreal feeling,” Lynch said of Kilwin's victory in the Test (video). “It was hard to see exactly what happened from where we were watching. We were disappointed that she was that far back and had seemingly come out of the gate very slowly. It wasn't until after the race that we found out that she went down on her knees and somehow Jose [Ortiz] stayed on. But I think it was about 10 to 15 seconds of, 'Well that was a waste of a trip to New York.' And then she gathered herself and you're kind of going well, she is catching them up, but I still had no idea that she was even going to hit the board until midway down the stretch. Then we could see she was flying and it was like, 'Oh my gosh, we might pick up a stakes placing.' The last five strides, we were just thinking, 'This is crazy.' Afterwards, I was thinking, wait a minute, am I cheering and we didn't win? Because I don't think that happened.” Braxton Lynch leads Kilwin into Saratoga winner's circle | Sarah Andrew Following her Test win, Kilwin returned to the Kentucky Downs turf only to be a well-beaten eighth in the Sept. 6 GII Music City Stakes. “I don't know if you just want to call it a bounce after she had just put in such a big effort in New York,” Lynch said of the Music City effort. “And maybe she is better on dirt. That's the other conclusion that we came away with. She is two-for-two on dirt. As good as she was as a 2-year-old on the grass, I think she probably maybe always should have been on dirt.” Kilwin was a supplemental entry to the November sale and will be offered as a racing or broodmare prospect. “If she RNA's or something, we would definitely race her next year,” Lynch said. [Trainer] Rusty [Arnold] has every intention of trying to stretch her out next year. I think that was our plan if we do end up with her, we will probably try two turns. He doesn't see that that is going to be a problem for her.” The first BBN Racing syndicate was formed in 2019 and the partnership has already developed a heady resume. Kilwin isn't even the group's first Grade I winner by Twirling Candy. The group's first iteration included 2019 GI Belmont Oaks winner Concrete Rose (Twirling Candy). Owned in partnership with Ashbrook Farm, the filly won six of seven starts–including four graded events–before selling for $1.95 million at the 2020 Keeneland November sale. Other graded performers to carry the BBN colors are Hidden Stash (Constitution), who took the partners to the 2021 GI Kentucky Derby, Core Values (Honor Code), 2022 GII Clark Stakes winner Trademark (Upstart), Mo Stash (Mo Town), and Sweet Cherry Pie (Twirling Candy). Lynch, who founded BBN Racing along with Brian Klatsky and Brendan O'Brien, credits the entire team with the group's success. Bo Bromagen serves as bloodstock consultant and, in addition to Arnold, BBN has horses with trainer Vicki Oliver. “I think it's got to start with the team we have selecting yearlings,” Lynch said of the group's success. “We have–I wouldn't say a very limited budget, but we are cost conscious when we are at the sale. So we bid on a lot of horses, we get outbid on a lot of horses, and then we just try to find those horses that fit into our wheel house.” She continued, “A lot of the credit has to go to our trainers. They have done a phenomenal job bringing these horses along and making it a fun experience for our partners. And I think, obviously, the third factor is that the purses in Kentucky have gone up every year since we have been buying. That's been a huge part of why we participate only with Kentucky-breds.” The BBN Racing team was in action this fall putting together its fifth class of yearlings. Despite a competitive and record-breaking sales season, Lynch said she was happy with the group's purchases. “We bought 10 yearlings this year,” she said. “And somehow or other, time will tell if we were smart or not, but we ended up with just about the exact same average price that we have always ended up with. Obviously, we did get outbid on several, but we found what we think are pretty good horses that might have fallen through the cracks. Like I said, time will tell.” With those yearlings still waiting in the wings, Kilwin will take center stage for BBN Racing at Keeneland next week. “I hate to call it 'a test the market' because I don't think that's fair,” Lynch said of Kilwin's trip through the sales ring. “The market being as strong as it is right now was probably the main factor of trying to do this.” The single Book 1 session of the Keeneland November begins Tuesday at 2 p.m. Subsequent sessions begin at 10 a.m. and the auction concludes Nov. 11, with session eight immediately followed by session nine during the final day.

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.
