Seize the Grey (Arrogate–Smart Shopping, by Smart Strike), winner of the 2024 GI Preakness Stakes, was represented by his first foal when stakes-winning Dontmesswithjoanne (Pioneerof the Nile) produced a colt at Tanya Johnson's Red Gables Stud Jan. 17.
“We couldn't be happier with this mare's first foal for us. He is strong, correct, and has impressive size,” Johnson said. “Seize the Grey delivered everything we were looking for in this mating, and we are excited to watch his progress.”
In addition to the Preakness, Seize the Grey also won the 2024 GI Pennsylvania Derby and GII Pat Day Mile Stakes. He covered 196 mares–fifth most of any first-crop North American stallion in 2025–and stands at Gainesway for a 2026 advertised fee of $25,000.
