Spendthrift Farm's unstoppable Into Mischief, the five-time leading sire who is on target for a sixth consecutive title in 2024, will again lead the farm's stallion roster for the upcoming breeding season. He will stand the 2025 season for $250,000 stands and nurses, the same fee he held in 2024. With more than two months remaining in 2024, Into Mischief's current earnings of $29,720,854 have already surpassed his previous record of $28,122,550, set in 2022. His five Grade I winners in 2024 include Dubai World Cup winner Laurel River, as well as Leslie's Rose, Citizen Bull, Gina Romantica, and Newgate in the U.S.
“Into Mischief continues to push into uncharted territory in the long and rich history of stallions in this industry,” said Spendthrift General Manager Ned Toffey. “He's not only on track to claim his sixth consecutive champion General Sire title, but he's also reinforcing that high level of success on the racetrack while maintaining remarkable results at the sales. Of his five Grade I winners in 2024, four are new Grade I winners this year, bringing his career total to 22. He's truly a once-in-a-generation sire.”
Spendthrift will stand 28 stallions in addition to Into Mischief, including three new stallions for the upcoming breeding season. GI Belmont Stakes and GI Haskell Stakes winner Dornoch was retired at the end of September following a training setback; GI Stephen Foster Stakes winner Kingsbarns was retired in August; and breeding rights to GI Preakness Stakes and GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational winner National Treasure were acquired by Spendthrift early this year. Dornoch, a son of Good Magic and a full-brother to GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage, will stand for $40,000, while Kingsbarns, by Uncle Mo, will stand for $20,000. National Treasure, who is a son of Quality Road and is pointing to the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile Nov. 2, will have his introductory fee announced after the Breeders' Cup.
One other stallion on the Spendthrift roster has a fee yet to be determined and that is Vekoma, who is currently poised in second by progeny earnings on North America's freshman sire list. Among his crop-leading 25 winners and four black-type winners is undefeated GSW Jonathan's Way, who is targeting the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Nov. 1.
“At Spendthrift, we've expanded both the quality and number of our stallions, allowing us to offer the most diverse roster we've ever had,” said Toffey. “Our goal has long been to provide the best opportunities for breeders at all levels, and we're more confident than ever that breeders can trust in the quality and value we deliver across the board.”
