GISW Arthur’s Ride to Stand at Taylor Made Stallions in 2026

[Wandering Eyes]

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.
