Newgrange Retired, to Join Sequel New York for 2026 Breeding Season

[Wandering Eyes]

Multiple graded stakes winner Newgrange (Violence) has retired from racing and will stand at Sequel New York in 2026, the farm announced Friday via press release.

A graded stakes winner in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the eye-catching entire has not hit to the board since his title defense last season in the GII San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita Park. He retires sound with five graded races to his tally and just north of $1-million in earnings. He was purchased for $125,000 as a yearling at the Keeneland September sale in 2020 and later changed hands to Rockingham Ranch and David A. Bernsen for $325,000 in 2022 via the Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age sale.

Out of a daughter of GSW Bella Chiarra (Phone Trick), his dam's full-sister has produced GSW Amalfi Sunrise (Constitution) and GSP-UAE Gotti (More Than Ready). This is the immediate female family of MGSW & GISP David Copperfield and his full-brother GSP Smithfield.

The stud fee will be announced at a later date.

“Newgrange embodies everything we look for in a stallion prospect,” said Becky Thomas. “He was precocious at two, dominant at three, and proved his class and soundness competing against the best older horses. He's a horse that breeders in New York and beyond are going to love.”
