It's an exciting season for Taylor Made Stallions with first-crop sire Not This Time on a roll this year while Midnight Storm's first crop of yearlings are a success at the sales. Now, they welcome a new member to the roster in Larry Best's Grade II winner Instagrand.
Not This Time (Giant's Causeway), currently the leading first-crop sire by winners, has been an up-and-comer to watch all year with his offspring showing his precocity on the track while proving to be increasingly popular at the sales.
Two Midnight Storm yearlings brought six figures at the Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase, and several dozen youngsters are catalogued to go through the ring in the following days at Keeneland. His headliner at Fasig-Tipton, a colt out of Chickasaw Gal (Indian Charlie), brought $200,000 off a $12,500 stud fee.
