In the latest installment of 2026 Mating Plans, Anne Archer Hinkle, the co-owner and Director of Operations at Hinkle Farms, discusses the 2026 mating plans for their Paris, Kentucky-based operation. SEEKING GABRIELLE, 19, Forestry – Seeking Regina, by Seeking the Gold. Booked to Twirling Candy Seeking Gabrielle has been a very special mare for us and is the dam of Nyquist. Being 19, we know the number of foals she will have are few. Our hope is to get as many fillies as we can. Twirling Candy with Forestry mares is a proven cross and we believe this mating can result in a great physical, too. Hopefully, we will get a filly and a future broodmare. If we get a colt, Twirling Candy is certainly well received in the marketplace and they run on all surfaces. LADIES' PRIVILEGE, 12, Harlan's Holiday – Vanquished, by Empire Maker. Booked to Justify Ladies' Privilege is the dam of More Than Looks, winner of the 2024 Breeders' Cup Mile. She is booked to Justify, one of the top stallions in the world. Being the dam of a Breeders' Cup winner, this mare deserves to be bred to top stallions. A foal by Justify should be interesting to perspective buyers from all racing jurisdictions. Ladies' Privilege produces beautiful foals and one by Justify should be no exception. NEW BOSS, 8, Street Boss – Denali Dreamscape, by Corinthian. Booked to Gun Runner New Boss is a stakes-winning mare and she won on both dirt and grass. She comes from a deep family. Her dam, Denali Dreamscape, died prematurely, but her three foals to race all exhibited a lot of ability. New Boss has a yearling colt by Constitution and is pregnant to Not This Time for 2026. We want to give her every chance to produce a good horse, and she will be bred to Gun Runner in 2026. INDIAN BAY, 15, Indian Charlie – Buy the Barrel, by E Dubai. Booked to Practical Joke Indian Bay has been a wonderful mare for us, having produced three graded stakes horses and her yearlings have sold exceptionally well. Indian Charlie mares have worked well with both Into Mischief and Practical Joke. Practical Joke sires one quality horse after another. Indian Bay will be bred to him in 2026. WHITE SANDS, 4, Into Mischief – Unicorn Girl, by A.P. Five Hundred. Booked to Not This Time We purchased White Sands in November 2025, pregnant to Not This Time. White Sands was a fast filly, winning her first two starts at two followed by a third in the GIII Best Pal Stakes against colts. We are breeding White Sands back to Not This Time. Although the numbers of foals bred on this cross are limited, to date the cross has produced 25% stakes winners. We think duplicating the mating gives this young mare a great start in her career as a broodmare. BURNING ARCH, 15, Arch – Chili Cat, by Storm Cat. Booked to Tiz The Law Burning Arch is a stakes-producing Arch mare. Arch mares have been wonderful broodmares. Tiz the Law's first two crops have seen excellent performers and we expect this to continue. Tiz the Law offers exceptional value. Burning Arch produces really attractive foals and we are excited about the prospects from this mating. SURFS EDGE, 11, Malibu Moon – Essential Edge, by Storm Cat. Booked to Nyquist Surfs Edge is the dam of the very solid stakes-performing filly Ramsey Pond (Divisidero). Every time you look up, Nyquist produces another stakes horse from an A.P. Indy-line mare. Being by Malibu Moon, Surfs Edge fits the criteria. We are really excited about this mating. We think Nyquist is perfect for this mare. STAVE, 11, Ghostzapper – Buy the Barrel, by E Dubai. Booked to Flightline Filly out of Stave sells for $2 million at the 2025 Keeneland September Sale | Keeneland We raced Stave and we raced her dam, Buy the Barrel. We purchased the third dam, Affordable Price (Drouilly {FR}), in 1995. The family continues to produce runner after runner. Stave's foal of 2024 was a $2 million Not This Time filly, Maranello, purchased by Scott and Cindy Heider. We all have great hopes for her. Stave will be bred to Flightline in 2026. The market loved the Flightlines and there is tremendous anticipation to see them perform in 2026. Stave produces beautiful foals, and if the Flightlines run like the look, the resultant foal could be really special. SOUGHT, 4, Uncle Mo – Seeking Gabrielle, by Forestry. Booked to Vekoma Sought is an unraced daughter of Seeking Gabrielle and is a full-sister to Nyquist. She was injured as a yearling and, therefore, did not race. She is currently carrying her first foal by Constitution and is booked to Vekoma for 2026. Vekoma has given every indication of being a top stallion in the making and was the number one first and second-crop stallion. He has already shown an affinity for Indian Charlie mares. It is certainly reasonable to think he will cross well with Uncle Mo mares, too. NU PI LAMBDA, 9, City Zip – Giulio's Jewel, by Speightstown. Booked to Constitution Nu Pi Lambda is a half-sister to Deterministic (Liam's Map), a horse we bred, and she was a winner in Southern California of over $174,000. She is pregnant to Liam's Map, the sire of Deterministic, and is carrying her first foal. Nu Pi Lambda is booked to Constitution, a top-class stallion, and similar matings have resulted in numerous stakes winners. The 2026 mating and the expected 2026 foal should help Nu Pi Lambda get off to a great start as a broodmare. TIZ AN EDVENTURE, 8, Tiznow – Triune, by E Dubai. Booked to Mindframe We are breeding Tiz an Edventure to Mindframe, an extremely good-looking son of Constitution who has been well received with his first book of mares. Constitution works exceptionally well with Tiznow mares, and we hope to replicate that with this mating. Tiz an Edventure is an extremely good-looking mare and we think a mating to Mindframe should produce a beautiful foal. WIN THE WAR, 11, War Front – City Sister, by Carson City. Booked to Mindframe Tapit and his sons have shown an affinity for War Front mares. We are trying to repeat this and also really like the physical associated with this mating. We expect Mindframe to sire leggy foals with scope, and believe he has a great chance to be a top stallion. WHOA NESSIE, 11, Square Eddie – Electric Daze, by Gilded Time. Booked by Omaha Beach This mare is booked to Omaha Beach, who is certainly proving himself to be a top-class sire. This is a similar cross as Desert Gate, by Omaha Beach, who is on the Derby trail. Whoa Nessie has produced exceptionally nice foals for us, and we believe she has the potential to be a stakes-producing mare. All the Omaha Beach horses we have bred have been outstanding physically and we expect this to be the case with the resultant foal.

Magnitude (Not This Time), a game winner over older horses in his sophomore finale in the GII Clark S. at Churchill Downs Nov. 28, will make his next start in the $20-million G1 Saudi Cup. Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen will also be well-represented by 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Obliteration (Violence) in the $1.5-million G3 Saudi Derby on the undercard. Both races will be held at King Abdulaziz Racetrack in Riyadh Feb. 14. “We're very excited to have both of them go,” Asmussen said. “The Saudi Cup and the Saudi Derby–definitely something we want to be a part of. Feel great about the two horses.” Asmussen added, “Jose (Ortiz)'s riding Magnitude and Joel (Rosario)'s riding Obliteration. Fortunate to keep the same riders who they've won with recently.” Forced to miss the Triple Crown series after exiting his sensational GII Fasig-Tipton Risen Star S. victory with an ankle chip, Magnitude resumed his sophomore campaign with a blowout win in the Iowa Derby at Prairie Meadows July 5. A well-beaten third behind soon-to-be-crowned Horse of the Year Sovereignty (Into Mischief) in the GI DraftKings Travers S. at Saratoga Aug. 23, he showed a new dimension with a very good closing second in the GI Pennsylvania Derby at Parx Sept. 20. Magnitude defeated G1 Dubai World Cup winner Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) by a half length as the 2-1 favorite in the Clark. He earned a career-best 108 Beyer Speed Figure in his aforementioned front-running tour-de-force victory at 43-1 in the Risen Star. The Winchell Thoroughbreds colorbearer, a $310,000 Keeneland November weanling turned $450,000 Keeneland September yearling, has breezed five times for Asmussen at Fair Grounds this winter, most recently firing a five-furlong bullet in 1:00.20 (1/17) Jan. 19. “We're full of hope,” Asmussen said. “The horse has run some extremely good times and put it all together in the Clark. He is training exceptionally well, as is expected of him right now.” The versatile Obliteration, a runaway winner of Saratoga's GIII Sanford S. at second asking July 5 and a respectable fourth in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint at Del Mar Oct. 31, began the New Year in style with a 7 1/2-length win despite stumbling at the break in the six-furlong Renaissance S. at Oaklawn Park Jan. 3. He also finished second in last term's GII Saratoga Special S. Aug. 2, Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint S. Aug. 31 and Indian Summer S. at Keeneland Oct. 5. The latter two were run on grass. Campaigned in partnership by Leland Ackerley Racing, James Sherwood, Jode Shupe and John Cilia, the $200,000 OBS March breezer worked five furlongs in 1:01.80 (6/23) at Fair Grounds Jan. 18. The 1600-meter (about one mile) Saudi Derby will be Obliteration's first attempt beyond 6 1/2 furlongs. “He's got a tremendous amount of talent,” Asmussen said. “Just really appreciate his personality. He's run in the Breeders' Cup (at Del Mar), at Kentucky Downs, at Saratoga, etc. He's got quite a bit of travel and experience at a very good level. He's capable of running very fast. It is a great opportunity.” Following the arrest of disgraced former trainer Jason Servis and subsequent demotion of Maximum Security, the Asmussen-trained Midnight Bisou was placed first via disqualification in the 2020 Saudi Cup. Asmussen also saddled the ill-fated Midnight Bourbon to a third-place finish in the 2022 renewal and Cowan to a second-place finish in the 2021 Saudi Derby. “International racing and being able to compete at this level is what I dreamed about from having a brother that won the Arc,” said Asmussen, who won the 2008 G1 Dubai World Cup with the legendary Curlin. “I love being a part of it.” Asmussen added that the Middle East-bound duo of Magnitude and Obliteration will fly out of Miami on Feb. 2.
