2026 Mating Plans: Stoneriggs Farm

Wait 5 sec.

Stoneriggs Farm has hit the ground running. In operation for just five years, Robert Slack's 600-acre property in Paris, Kentucky is the home of a 70-deep broodmare band. Slack reveals some of his 'Mating Plans' for the upcoming 2026 breeding season in this continuing series.BRANDONS DANGER (m, 9, Into Mischief–Natural Rush, by Indian Charlie), to be bred to Omaha BeachWe're sending six mares to Omaha Beach. He's been a horse that we've bred multiple mares to each year. I think he'll go right to the top, he's a very sound sire. Every time you open the paper, you see horses by him winning at all levels. He's a very very good sire.We're breeding Brandons Danger to him. She's the dam of a Charlatan colt I C Light, who is two for two (on the turf) at Gulfstream this winter and is very impressive. She's an Into Mischief mare and it's a very good cross.PLATINUM PAYNTER (m, 10, Paynter–Platinum Preferred, by Vindication), to be bred to ConstitutionWe have several mares going to Constitution, including Platinum Paynter. We've always done very well with Constitution babies. We sold a Jackie's Warrior filly (Psalm Beauty) out of her for $625,000 at the (Keeneland September) yearling sale. Her first runner (Coqueta Blue by Maxfield) is already a winner, too. She was an outstanding race mare and is an outstanding individual.CHESTNUT STREET (m, 12, Scat Daddy–Near and Dear, by Red Ransom), to be bred to YauponShe's a nice mare by Scat Daddy. She won at Saratoga and we claimed her. Fortunately, we were the only claim in on her that day. We got her and retired her. She's been a very good mare. Her 3-year-old colt ('TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard') Local Knowledge (Yaupon) was very impressive, broke his maiden first time out with a 94 Beyer at Keeneland.I'M BETTY G (m, 12, Into Mischief–Lady in Ermine, by Honour and Glory), to be bred to Gun RunnerI'm Betty G, who is the dam of (GI) Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Turf Sprint)-placed Governor Sam (Improbable) and also (MGSW) Pin Up Betty (Constitution), is going to Gun Runner.NEEDS SUPERVISION (m, 10, Paynter–Moroccan Rose, by Carson City), to be bred to VekomaNeeds Supervision was an excellent race mare, winning several stakes. She had a Life's Is Good colt in '24. We sold it as a yearling for $230,000 (at Keeneland September). We bred her back to Constitution and she had a Constitution filly in '25. She was late, so we didn't breed her back. In '26, she's going to Vekoma.AUTONOMOUS (m, 9, Quality Road–Circumspect, by Discreet Cat), to be bred to Liam's MapAutonomous is the dam of Teddy's Rocket (Liam's Map), who was very impressive (winning first out on grass at Saratoga last summer). He's enjoying the sunshine in Florida for the winter. She is going back to Liam's Map, sire of Teddy's Rocket.GREAT SISTER DIANE (m, 10, Will Take Charge–Private Ensign, A.P. Indy), to be bred to CurlinWe've sold very well out of her. She's going to Curlin. (Editor's Note: Great Sister Diane's Quality Road colt of 2022 brought $725,000 at Keeneland September; her Quality Road colt of 2023 brought $325,000 at Keeneland September; and her Justify colt of 2024 brought $550,000 at Keeneland September).CHART (m, 9, Lea–Gauge, by War Front), to be bred to JustifyWe have Chart going to Justify. We just sold a Flightline short yearling for $290,000 (to Blue River Farm) out of her at Keeneland January. She is a Grade III winner from an established Claiborne family.The post 2026 Mating Plans: Stoneriggs Farm appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
