This spring's GII Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes winner Mr Fisk (Arrogate–Plein Air {Ire}, by Manduro {Ger}) has officially been retired from racing and will stand the 2025 season at Pleasant Acres Stallions near Morriston, Florida. The Bob Baffert trainee was on a two-race graded win streak after victories in the Gold Cup in late May and the GIII Californian Stakes in April when it was discovered he'd suffered a condylar fracture and subsequently had surgery. The decision was eventually made to retire him rather than bring him back to the races and he will stand his initial season in 2025 for $8,500.

“We are so excited to bring this talented, multiple graded stakes-winning son of famed Arrogate to Florida for our breeders,” said the farm's Director of Stallion Services Christine Jones. “With Arrogate completing just three breeding seasons as a stallion, there are only a few select opportunities to breed to one of his sons. Furthering his line at Pleasant Acres Stallions is a win for his legacy, as well as a win for Florida.”

In addition to his two 2024 graded wins, Mr Fisk also captured the GIII Native Diver Stakes and the Shared Belief Stakes in the fall of 2023, as well as finished runner-up in the Affirmed Stakes. The 4-year-old Sunny Brook Stables homebred retires with a record of 11-5-2-0 and earnings of $369,700.

Mr Fisk's stallion transaction was brokered by Brendan Heeney and The Stallion Company. A few shares and lifetime breeding rights remain available.
