IHDV Stallions LLC announced that all stud fees for the stallions they manage remain unchanged in 2024.
Mind Control, who set New York records for mares bred (190) and number of mares in foal (171), has relocated to Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in Stillwater for the 2024 breeding season. Rockridge Stud did an outstanding job in 2023.
Mind Control’s move was predetermined by the unprecedented and cooperative agreement among New York’s most important breeders that that brought the three-time Grade 1 winner to the Empire State last year. The move to IHDV emphasizes the cooperative nature of this venture.
Rockridge Stud along with Waldorf Farm and Hidden Lake Farm remain active partners in the stallion’s management and can also be contacted to purchase 2024 seasons. The full IHDV roster includes:
- War Dancer, a proud New York resident since beginning his stud career, continues to have his progeny impress on the racetrack over all surfaces and distances. As a direct result, he bred nearly 70 percent more mares in 2023 than he did in 2022.
- The ever-popular Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Big Brown, who was the broodmare sire of 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage.
- King for a Day (by Uncle Mo) and Lookin At Lee (by Lookin At Lucky) will both have exciting 2-year olds to race in 2024.
- The first crop from Waiting a son of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, hit the ground in 2023 and look the part.
- We are eager to get a look at the first crop from Warrior’s Charge. The multiple stakes winning millionaire son of Munnings arrived last year to begin his stud career.
2024 stud fees:
Mind Control $8,500 LFSN
War Dancer $7,500 LFSN
Big Brown $5,000 LFSN
King for a Day $5,000 LFSN
Warrior’s Charge $5,000 LFSN
Lookin At Lee $2,500 LFSN
Waiting $2,500 LFSN
IHDV will work very closely with breeders by offering incentives for qualifying mares and multiple mare discounts across the entire roster.
IHDV will hold its stallion show this year from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, December 9, to coincide with the NYTB Holiday Party later that evening. Lunch will be served, and the farm will hold the annual raffle for a free season to each stallion as well as offering special stallion show pricing.
The stallions are available for inspection by potential breeders on request.
