McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds has added 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', Showcase (by Uncle Mo) to its stallion roster and the current 3-year-old will stand his first season at stud in 2026 for a fee of $5,000, the breeder said in a Friday release.
A $300,000 Keeneland September yearling, Showcase quickly fulfilled his early promise as a juvenile for owner Harrell Ventures and trainer Todd Pletcher when the colt broke his maiden on debut during the Belmont At The Big A meet and earned a 'Rising Star' for the effort. Stepping up in the GII Saratoga Special Stakes, Showcase won by three and a half lengths upstate that August.
“Showcase had enormous ability combined with an explosive kick of speed,” said Pletcher. “He was my best 2-year-old that year. He should be a huge asset to the New York breeding program, returning to Saratoga where he showed so much talent on the racetrack.”
The newly-minted sire joins Central Banker, Solomini and sophomore Provocateur.
