GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Tamarkuz (Speightstown–Without You Babe, by Lemon Drop Kid) and GISW Collusion Illusion (Twirling Candy–Natalie Grace, by First Dude) will stand at Ballcroy Bloodstock in Ontario for 2023.

Collusion Illusion captured five of 13 races with three of those wins coming in graded events. His career high was a win in the GI Bing Crosby S. and he earned over $480,000. He will stand for $6,000.

“Collusion Illusion is an exciting stallion prospect, and we are thrilled to have him standing in Ontario,” said Ballycroy Director of Bloodstock Michaela Kemp. “He is a great addition to our stallion roster, and we look forward to filling his first book of mares this season.”

Tamarkuz, who is in his third year at stud, won eight of 20 races and earned over $1.8 million. He concluded his career with a victory in the 2016 BC Dirt Mile and will stand for $4,000.

“Tamarkuz has been well supported in Kentucky by Shadwell and their mares,” said Kemp. “We are looking forward to seeing his progeny progress more on the track with time as the Speightstowns do.”
