Trapped at home? Come along on a tour of the Lane's End Stallion barn with the farm's Alys Emson. Lane's End takes us through their three barns to show us their superstar stallions from long-standing sires such as Union Rags to their newest recruits Catalina Cruiser. A.P. Indy is honored as his absence is felt, but as Alys says during the tour, "He lived to a fantastic old age and lived a phenomenal life."

Adrian Wallace speaks to the TDN's Katie Ritz about Munnngs, who is riding a hot streak with two horses on the Kentucky Oaks trail, Finite and Venetian Harbor. Off a modest initial stud of $12,500 back in 2011, Munnings (Speightstown) has written his own Cinderella story as he's worked his way to the top tier of the general sires list. But this year has potential to witness the sire's biggest breakthrough yet. With a 2020 fee set at $30,000 and five stakes winners already this year, many of the horses...

After a relatively slow 2019 on the track for his progeny, Violence's fee was cut from $40,000 to $25,000 for 2020 by John Sikura. He was rewarded by a full book, and a brilliant start to the season by two TDN Rising Stars. Kelsey Riley has the story. Trained by Todd Pletcher, Violence won the GII Nashua S. in his second career start. In search of a Grade I win, he ventured west for the 2012 GI Cash Call Futurity at Hollywood Park and won again. Considered a top threat...

Ten Sovereigns is one of the first sons of No Nay Never to retire to stud and he does so alongside his sire at Coolmore Stud in Ireland. A group one winner at two and three, David O'Loughlin tells us more about the commercial young stallion. Ten Sovereigns was also a 'TDN Rising Star' on debut, and Coolmore's Director Of Sales David O'Loughlin said, "Ten Sovereigns was a fantastic horse. He was unbeaten at two; he won his maiden by six lengths at The Curragh. He then went on to...

Magna Grecia was the first son of Invincible Spirit to win a British 2000 Guineas. He joins the roster of stallions at Coolmore Stud in Ireland this year and Mark Byrne talks to us now about Magna Grecia. Magna Grecia is by Invincible Spirit (Ire), who is proving a potent force as a sire of sires and out of a Galileo (Ire) mare; Galileo is also the broodmare sire of last year's break out first-season sire Night Of Thunder (Ire). Read more on the TDN.

One of three new stallions to the Coolmore roster at Ireland this year is Calyx, a group two winning son of Kingman who showed brilliance at two and early on in his three-year-old career. Hermine Bastide sat down with the TDN to talk all things Calyx. Although Calyx's career was short-lived, he caught the imagination of many being one of the first winners for Kingman (GB) and by winning the G2 Coventry S. in extraordinary fashion. It wouldn't be out of the question to think Ten Sovereigns and Calyx could...
