Spendthrift Farm will add Grade I winners Baeza (McKinzie) and Further Ado (Gun Runner) to its stallion roster for the 2027 breeding season, according to a release from the stallion center late on Friday evening.A $1.2 million Keeneland September yearling, Baeza placed in both the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes at 3 before winning the same race his sire did, the G1 Pennsylvania Derby. Baeza continued to compete at the highest level as a 4-year-old, which included running third in Friday's GI Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park. By the conclusion of his racing career, he is expected to have made eight top-level starts across two seasons.“Baeza is a stallion prospect who checks boxes from every direction,” Spendthrift General Manager Ned Toffey said. “He's a beautiful, athletic horse, and that kind of sustained performance at the highest level speaks to his soundness, talent, and tenacity. Then you add an exceptional family that has already produced two Classic winners. He brings a rare combination of proven class, durability and pedigree, and we think he's going to be an extremely compelling option for breeders.”Baeza | Sarah AndrewBaeza is the third Grade I-winning son out of Broodmare of the Year Puca (Big Brown), who also foaled GI Kentucky Derby winner Mage (Good Magic), and GI Belmont Stakes & Haskell Stakes winner Dornoch (Good Magic).Further Ado, campaigned by Spendthrift Farm and trained by Brad Cox, emerged as a top-class two-turn runner at 2 after breaking his maiden by 20 lengths at Keeneland, which garnered him 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard,' honors. The colt followed that up with a victory in the GII Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs.At three, Further Ado captured the GI Toyota Blue Grass Stakes by 11 lengths and added the GIII Matt Winn Stakes in 1:41.26, the second-fastest running of the race behind only his sire Gun Runner. A potential starter in next month's GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic, Further Ado is scheduled to start and serve as the favorite in Saturday's Pennsylvania Derby at Parx.“When you're looking for a horse capable of carrying forward the influence of a sire like Gun Runner, you want brilliance, athleticism, two-turn speed and a physical to match. Further Ado has shown us all of those things,” said Toffey. “He's an athletic mover with the kind of presence and efficiency you want to see in a stallion prospect. We've believed in this colt from the beginning, and we're incredibly excited to welcome him home to Spendthrift.”Further Ado is out of the Sky Mesa mare Sky Dreamer and descends from a female family that includes champion and MGISW Beautiful Pleasure (Maudlin), GISW Dream Dancing (Tapit), and MGSW Kimbear (Temple City).Further Ado and Baeza will join Spendthrift's 2027 stallion roster upon the conclusion of their racing careers.Click here for all breeding inquiries and season applications.The post Spendthrift Will Stand GISWs Further Ado And Baeza Next Year appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
