Multiple graded stakes winner Newgrange (Violence<\/a>) has retired from racing and will stand at Sequel New York in 2026, the farm announced Friday via press release.<\/p>\n

A graded stakes winner in 2022, 2023, and 2024, the eye-catching horse won back-to-back GII San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita Park. He retires sound with five graded races to his tally\u2013including wins in the GII San Antonio and the GIII Southwest and Sham Stakes\u2013and just north of $1-million in earnings. He was purchased for $125,000 as a yearling at the Keeneland September sale in 2020 and later changed hands to Rockingham Ranch and David A. Bernsen for $325,000 in 2022 via the Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age sale.<\/p>\n

Out of a daughter of GSW Bella Chiarra (Phone Trick), his dam’s full-sister has produced GSW Amalfi Sunrise (Constitution<\/a>) and GSP-UAE Gotti (More Than Ready). This is the immediate female family of MGSW & GISP David Copperfield and his full-brother GSP Smithfield.<\/p>\n

The stud fee will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

\u201cNewgrange embodies everything we look for in a stallion prospect,\u201d said Becky Thomas. \u201cHe was precocious at two, dominant at three, and proved his class and soundness competing against the best older horses. He’s a horse that breeders in New York and beyond are going to love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen purchasing Violence<\/a>, I was struck by his balance and athleticism,\u201d said Hanzly Albina. \u201cNewgrange reminds me of his sire in those same ways\u2013he has that same raw physicality, competitive spirit, and ability to carry his speed over a distance. Those shared qualities give me every confidence that Newgrange will follow in Violence<\/a>‘s footsteps and become a terrific sire. We at Newtownanner are excited to be a major shareholder in Newgrange and look forward to supporting him with a strong book of quality mares.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNewgrange possessed all the right physical attributes from the very beginning,\u201d said Donato Lanni. On the racetrack, he demonstrated class, toughness, and an undeniable will to win. He represents exactly the type of horse I aim to purchase\u2013and the kind of stallion breeders should be eager to breed to.\u201d<\/p>\n
