Pleasant Acres Stallions announced Jan. 9 the arrival of Mr Fisk 's first reported foal, a healthy filly out of New York-bred Brass Cat, a daughter of Bluegrass Cat. The filly arrived at 3:25 a.m. ET Friday morning for breeder Martine Britell.
"Our beautiful Brass Cat has blessed us with another big, athletic baby," Britell said. "Paired with Mr Fisk's amazing bloodlines and triple-digit speed, we are excited for this filly's future."
"A stallion's first foal is always a milestone, and this filly is exactly the kind of start you hope for," said Christine Jones, director of stallion services at Pleasant Acres Stallions. "Mr Fisk has the race record, the physical, and the pedigree depth we believe Florida breeders deserve. He was a multiple graded stakes winner with triple-digit Beyer ability, and he brings the rare opportunity to access Arrogate's line along with a deep successful European female family."
Trained by Bob Baffert, Mr Fisk won the 2023 Shared Belief Stakes and Native Diver Stakes (G3) at 3 at Del Mar, and at 4 captured the Californian (G3) and Hollywood Gold Cup (G2) stakes at Santa Anita Park. Mr Fisk hit the board in seven of 11 starts and earned $369,700.
Mr Fisk's sire Arrogate was a four-time grade 1 winner who stood for only three breeding seasons before he died prematurely. Mr Fisk's dam, Plein Air, is a two-time black-type winner on two continents and by champion Manduro.
Mr Fisk stands for $8,500 at Pleasant Acres near Morriston, Fla.
