The first mares have been reported in foal to multiple graded stakes winner Mr Fisk (Arrogate–Plein Air {Ire}, by Manduro {Ger}) and to graded winner Champions Dream (Justify–Dancinginherdreams, by Tapit). Both stallions are standing their first season at stud at Pleasant Acres Stallions in Morriston, Florida.
Mr Fisk, who won the 2024 GII Hollywood Gold Cup, as well as last year's GIII Californian Stakes and the 2023 GIII Native Diver Stakes, stands for $8,500, live foal.
Champions Dream, winner of the 2022 GIII Nashua Stakes, stands for $5,000, live foal.
“We're thrilled to announce that both of Florida's only first-year stallions for 2025 have multiple mares confirmed in foal. This early success with Mr Fisk and Champions Dream validates the tremendous interest we've seen from breeders,” said Christine Jones, Director of Stallion Services at Pleasant Acres Stallions. “As the only son of the legendary Arroagate standing in Florida, Mr Fisk offers breeders a unique opportunity to tap into this exceptional bloodline. Similarly, Champions Dream, by Triple Crown winner Justify, has been equally well-received. These early confirmations are exactly what we hoped to see and demonstrate the confidence breeders have placed in these outstanding young stallions.”
