Gainesway has released additional stud fees for its 2025 stallion roster following the Breeders' Cup. The fees for most of its stallions were announced last week.
BloodHorse: Tapit Tops Gainesway Roster for 2025 at $185,000
Leading the charge among the newly announced fees is McKinzie , whose fee climbs to $75,000 in 2025 after he stood for $30,000 in 2024. The son of Street Sense is led by a pair of grade 1 winners from his debut crop of runners: Chancer McPatrick, winner of the Hopeful Stakes (G1) and Champagne Stakes (G1), and Scottish Lassie, winner of the Frizette Stakes (G1). The former was sixth in the Nov. 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1) at Del Mar, the latter fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1) that afternoon.
He is the first stallion since Mr. Prospector to sire the winners of the Champagne and Frizette in the same year. His progeny have been commercially popular, with yearlings by McKinzie selling for as high as $950,000 and a 2-year-old bringing $750,000.
Additionally, stud fees have been set for Muth , Seize the Grey, and Tapit Trice , all of whom will be new to Gainesway's growing stallion roster.
At age 2, Muth won the 2023 American Pharoah Stakes (G1) before running second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1). At 3, Muth won the San Vicente Stakes (G2) before prevailing in the Arkansas Derby (G1), defeating future Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mystik Dan. Muth is the only son of Good Magic to become a grade 1 winner at both 2 and 3, replicating the accomplishment achieved by his sire. He finished seventh in the Nov. 2 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) in his final start.
Muth's stud fee will be $35,000, live foal stands and nurses.
Seize the Grey broke his maiden at Saratoga Race Course as a juvenile, defeating future Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Dornoch . He scored a front-running victory in the Pat Day Mile Stakes (G2) on the undercard of the Kentucky Derby (G1). From there, Seize the Grey became a dual grade 1 winner and one of the top 3-year-olds of his crop by going wire-to-wire in both the Preakness Stakes (G1) and the Pennsylvania Derby (G1). He concluded his racing career with an eighth-place finish in Saturday's Dirt Mile.
Seize the Grey's stud fee will be $30,000, live foal stands and nurses.
As a 3-year-old, Tapit Trice won the 2023 Blue Grass Stakes (G1) and Tampa Bay Derby (G3) while also placing in the Belmont Stakes and Travers Stakes (G1). At age 4, he won the Woodward Stakes (G2) and the Monmouth Cup Stakes (G3) in fast times. A closing sixth in the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), he will stand for a fee of $20,000, live foal stands and nurses.
Gainesway will host its open house daily through Nov. 15 from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. ET.
