    • Grade I winner Mullikin (Violence–Tulira's Star, by Congrats), slated to make his final career start in this year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar, will stand the 2026 breeding season at WinStar Farm, the operation announced Tuesday. A stud fee will be announced after the Breeders' Cup. Mullikin will participate in WinStar's Dream Big Program, which offers breeders the opportunity to earn a lifetime breeding right. “Mullikin has competed at the highest level for the last two years and is a gorgeous looking horse from a world-class sire line [Sadlers Wells],” said Elliott Walden, president, CEO, and racing manager of WinStar Farm. “Our best stallions over the years all had speed. He fits the mold of what we want to place in the market, looks, speed, and pedigree.” Owned by WinStar Farm and trained by Rodolphe Brisset, Mullikin won last year's GI Forego Stakes at Saratoga by 5 3/4 lengths over GISW Gun Pilot (Gun Pilot) while earning a 105 Beyer. During a four-race win streak in 2024, Mullikin also captured the GII John A. Nerud Stakes in his graded stakes debut, running seven furlongs in 1:20.54, just 0.50 off the track record set by Artax in 1999. Mullikin has run four triple-digit Beyers thus far, including a career-high 106 when finishing second to multiple Grade I winner Book 'em Danno (Bucchero) in this year's GI Alfred G. Vanderbilt Stakes at Saratoga. Additionally, Mullikin was beaten just a little more than a length by a pair of TDN Rising Stars, presented by Hagyard–GI Breeders' Cup Classic contender Mindframe (Constitution) and GI Breeders' Cup Mile-bound Nysos (Nyquist)–in a blanket finish in the GI Churchill Downs Stakes in May. Mullikin was third to Straight No Chaser (Speightster) in last year's GI Breeders' Cup Sprint at Del Mar, where he was ridden by Flavien Prat who returns to ride this year's renewal of the Sprint. On the board in 12-of-15 lifetime starts, with earnings of $1,144,992, Mullikin was a $500,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase. Bred in Kentucky by Fred W. Hertrich III and John D. Fielding, Mullikin is out of the graded stakes-placed Congrats mare Tulira's Star, third in the GIII Schuylerville Stakes at Saratoga at two. For more information on Mullikin, contact Liam O'Rourke, Olivia Desch, or Ben Hanley at 859-873-1717, or visit www.WinStarFarm.com.           The post Breeders’ Cup Sprint Contender Mullikin to Stand at WinStar in 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • 'TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard Fierceness (City of Light–Nonna Bella, by Stay Thirsty), the Eclipse Award-winning 2-year-old male of 2023 and a four-time Grade I winner, will begin his stud career at Coolmore's Kentucky base at Ashford Stud following his final start in the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar on Nov. 1. An imperious 11 1/4-length debut winner at Saratoga in August 2023, earning no-brainer 'Rising Star' in a similar fashion to owner Mike Repole's fellow champion and late Ashford stallion Uncle Mo, Fierceness romped by 6 1/4 lengths in that year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. “That was a pretty awesome performance–he's a special talent,” trainer Todd Pletcher said of his championship-clinching victory in the Juvenile. The 13 1/2-length winner of the GI Curlin Florida Derby, Fierceness defeated fellow 'Rising Star presented by Hagyard' Sierra Leone (Gun Runner) by a length in the GII Jim Dandy Stakes and took down the colors of future Horse of the Year and 'Rising Star presented by Hagyard' Thorpedo Anna (Fast Anna) in the GI DraftKings Travers Stakes. Sierra Leone was third on that occasion, while GI Belmont Stakes hero Dornoch (Good Magic) was back in fourth. He concluded the season with a gallant runner-up effort in the Classic behind Sierra Leone, sitting up on a torrid pace and yielding only in the final stages to finish 1 1/2 lengths in arrears. Fierceness has been one of the leading lights of this year's handicap division, with a powerful first-up victory in the GII Alysheba Stakes at Churchill Downs and a latest 3 1/4-length defeat of this year's GI Preakness Stakes hero Journalism (Curlin) in the GI Pacific Classic back on Aug. 30. He'll return to the same track and distance for his career finale in just under two weeks' time. To date, Fierceness has amassed a record of 7-2-1 from 13 starts for earnings of $5,155,320. “Fierceness isn't just a racehorse–he's family,” said Repole. “He represents everything we've built and believe in at Repole Stable. From the day he was born, we knew he was special. “He's a Grade I winner at two, three and four, a Breeders' Cup Champion, an Eclipse Award winner and a horse who showed heart, grit, and freakish talent.” Added Coolmore's Dermot Ryan: “Fierceness hails from a young and hugely exciting family of his owner/breeder, Mike Repole. His track record speaks for itself. A Breeders' Cup Juvenile-winning champion 2-year-old who further enhanced his profile with Grade I victories at three and years (of age), consistently posting massive Beyers in the process. “He is an outstanding physical from a hugely successful sireline and out of a sister to GI Wood Memorial Stakes winner, Outwork. We got together with Mike Repole with an outstanding Saratoga MSW, Eclipse Award and Breeders' Cup Juvenile-winner before, and we all know how good Uncle Mo turned out to be. With his credentials, there's no reason to believe that Fierceness won't be every bit as good.” The post ‘His Track Record Speaks For Itself’: Champion Fierceness Retires To Ashford Stud Following Breeders’ Cup Classic appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Arthur's Ride (Tapit–Points of Grace, by Point Given), winner of the 2024 GI Whitney in Saratoga, will stand the 2026 breeding season at Taylor Made Stallions, the farm announced today. His stud fee will be $12,500 S&N. “Arthur's Ride is a horse we were very high on after his impressive back-to-back victories at Saratoga, including his win in the GI Whitney, earning a 110 Beyer,” said Travis White, vice-president of Taylor Made Stallions. “The race prior to the Whitney, he ran a 111 Beyer and won by 12 3/4 lengths.” The striking grey banked $819,355 for owner Glassman Racing–Karl and Cathi Glassman–and he was trained by Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott. A $250,000 Keeneland September Sale purchase by agent Donato Lanni in 2021, the 5-year-old is out of Canadian champion turf mare Points of Grace, who is also responsible for Canadian champion 2-Year-Old filly Victory to Victory (Exchange Rate), who captured the 2016 GI Natalma Stakes at Woodbine. “He has an outstanding physical and was purchased by Donato Lanni, so we believe commercial breeders will love him. He's got the type of pedigree we look for,” said White. “He is by a top sire, out of a champion, and is a half-brother to a champion 2-year-old filly.” In Arthur's Ride's front-running performance in last year's Whitney, he defeated subsequent Eclipse Award Older Dirt Male Champion National Treasure in addition to seven other graded stakes winners. Prior to winning the Whitney, Arthur's Ride romped by 12 3/4 lengths in an allowance/optional claiming victory over 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga and earned a 101 Beyer in a 7 ½-length allowance/optional claiming score at one mile at Gulfstream Park earlier in the season. For more information on Arthur's Ride, contact Travis White at (859) 396-3508, or Brock Martin at (270) 498-3722, or visit www.taylormadestallions.com.   The post GISW Arthur’s Ride to Stand at Taylor Made Stallions in 2026 appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
