Seize the Grey is gearing up for his first year at stud at Gainesway Farm in Kentucky. Our dual Grade 1 winner does not yet have a completely full book of mares, but that is definitely not unusual at this point. He is expected to book full as the breeding season goes on.
Our son of Arrogate has attracted some very solid and intriguing mares, and we thought it would be fun to share some of the highlights of who he is confirmed to cover this year.
Goodnight Olive: Dual Eclipse champion, she was never off the board in 12 career starts. She won four Grade 1 races, including two editions of the G1 Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, and retired with career earnings of over $2.1 million. What an honor and a boon it will be to have her foal in "Ceasar's" first crop
Lady Pewitt: Although she only ran one race, she produced a 2016 foal named Jaywalk. That grey filly, by a son of Unbridled's Song in Cross Traffic, was named champion 2-year-old filly of 2018 off of romps in the G1 Frizette and G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies.
Quickest: This influential Phipps Stable-bred mare is already the dam of Grade 1 winner Callback. She is also a half-sibling to Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, as well as graded stakes winners Cyrus Alexander (PA Derby champion, et al) and Brethren (Sam F. Davis Stakes, et al!).
Reachfortheheavens: Dam of multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Real Solution.
Accomplished: Half-sibling to a champion 2-year-old in Canada by the name of Cairo Consort, who sold for $820K last June.
La Fee Verte: Her racing career saw her win just under $100,000 in purse money. However her half-sibling is D. Wayne Lukas-trained daughter of Arrogate, Secret Oath, winner of the 2022 G1 Kentucky Oaks before later selling for $3 million.
Lakeside: Half-sibling to brilliant dual Grade 1 winner Cave Rock (Arrogate), who in 2022 was victorious in both the G1 Del Mar Futurity and G1 American Pharoah S.
Madison Square: This unraced daughter of Medaglia d’Oro is a half-sibling to Classic winner and champion 3-year-old Arcangelo, the "other" promising young son of Arrogate at Stud.
Unrivaled Princess: This unraced filly is a full-sibling to two-time Eclipse winner Unique Bella. She's by Tapit, meaning her prospective foal by Seize the Grey will be bred on the same cross as the aforementioned Arcangelo.
And, of course, included in his first book are the four mares in the Seize The Grey Broodmare Band of which we are partners, which includes Community Assisted, who on January 21st already foaled a lovely filly by top sire Quality Road, as well as Chilean Champion and multiple graded winner, Joke Sisi, and two other nicely bred mares.
We are looking forward with great excitement to see "Ceasar's" foals next year, which will be his first crop.
