Two-time Eclipse champion sprinter Goodnight Olive (Ghostzapper) will be covered by MGISW Seize the Grey (Arrogate) this upcoming breeding season. The announcement was made by Resolute Racing's John Stewart on the social media site X Sunday evening.
Goodnight Olive, who won her final start in 2023 in the GI PNC Bank Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, sold to Resolute for $6,000,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Night of the Stars sale shortly after. She was bred to Not This Time for her first cover due early next year.
Seize the Grey retired to Gainesway last month with wins in the GI Preakness Stakes and the GI Pennsylvania Derby for MyRacehorse and trainer D. Wayne Lukas. He will stand his inaugural season at stud for a fee of $30,000.
Responding to comments on the announcement, Stewart noted that he wanted to get access to the late Arrogate and that “Seize the Grey will be more valuable as a stallion. We need more Arrogate in our pedigrees.” He also noted that, while Into Mischief was a popular choice, “I am a big believer in the data for breeding and [Seize the Grey] stacks up strong for her.”
