    • Northview Stallion Station has pensioned Great Notion (Elusive Quality) ahead of the 2026 breeding season. A top stallion in Maryland, Great Notion, who will turn 26-years-old Jan. 1, sired 55 stakes winners led by MGSW Future Is Now, MGSW Havelock and millionaire GSW Coastal Mission. On the track, the son of Elusive Quality broke his maiden on debut at Churchill Downs for Silverton Hill and trainer Darrin Miller. Silverton Hill, who purchased Great Notion as a yearling at Keeneland September in 2001 for $82,000, raced him across the country, winning the listed Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn and earning placings in both the GII Amsterdam Stakes and the GI King's Bishop Stakes at Saratoga in 2003. He retired to stud with a record of 12-3-4-0 and earnings over $194,000. “Great Notion has been nothing short of transformational for breeding in Maryland,” said David Wade, General Manager of Northview Stallion Station. “His ability to upgrade mares, his consistency year after year, and the sheer quality of his runners have elevated our entire regional program. Retiring him now is simply doing right by the horse. He's earned every comfort we can give him, and his impact will continue to be felt for generations. There may never be another one like him. He elevated the entire region–breeders, trainers, owners, and the reputation of Maryland racing itself. We're grateful for every foal he gave us.” Great Notion will remain at Northview Stallion Station for his retirement.

    • A New Bay filly (lot 644) caught the eye of Philipp Stauffenberg and he duly shelled out €650,000 to acquire the half-sister to Group 1 winner Dreamloper (Lope De Vega) during the third session of the Goffs November Foal Sale on Wednesday. Also a half-sister to G2 Park Hill Stakes heroine and G1 Prix de Royallieu second Santorini Star (Golden Horn), the April foal was bred by Y. Y. Fill. Ed Sackville was the underbidder. Said Stauffenberg, “If you look into it, there are very few foals of that quality that hit the market. It's a high-end page. Obviously it is a lot of money but, on the other hand, when you look at what these pedigrees are making, I think it's fine. We will see. It's the first New Bay for me so hopefully the stallion will be doing something positive next year. He should be.” The trio are out of Listed Wild Flower Stakes heroine Livia's Dream (Teofilo). Second dam Brindisi (Dr Fong) won the Listed Dick Hern Fillies Stakes. Luke Lillingston, managing director for Mount Coote Stud, said, “The story goes back to when my father was still alive. We were selling the dam and, at the same time, Olivia Hoare was getting into the horse business. She inspected all of our yearlings and he told her that the mare was the pick of all of our yearlings. I had no idea that she was going to bid on her but she bought what turned out to be Livia's Dream (Teofilo) for 45,000gns at Newmarket. “A decision was made to sell this filly earlier in the year. There were only two dams in this sale that had produced a Group 1 winner and a Group 2 winner so she was always going to be really exciting. There was great interest in her from all over that world which was lovely. She has a lot of guts – she had 83 shows yesterday. You've got to admire Philipp Stauffenberg. He's the bravest of the brave because he's going to try and pinhook her. But I guess he has a nice feeling because, if it didn't come off, he still has a lovely filly from a very nice family that he could race. It's all there on the page already but it's only going to go from strength to strength.” The post Stauffenberg Buys New Bay Half-Sister To Dreamloper For €650k At Goffs November appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
