Taylor Made Reduces Majority of 2021 Stud Fees

Taylor Made Stallions has set its 2021 stallion roster and has reduced most fees for the upcoming breeding season. The roster is led by Not This Time, a leading first-crop sire in multiple categories, who will stand for $40,000. Joining Not This Time are Instagrand (new in 2021), Mshawish, and Midnight Storm, who will all stand for $7,500—Mshawish and Midnight Storm both stood for $10,000 this past breeding season. Rounding out the roster is Daddy Long Legs, who will stand for $5,000 after standing last season for $7,500. All fees are on a stands and nurses basis. Not This Time's offspring have starred in the auction ring and on the racetrack. He was the leading first-crop sire by 2-year-old average ($175,216), led by Princess Noor, who sold for $1.35 million to top the Ocala Breeders' Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training. It was the highest price ever for a 2-year-old by a freshman sire at OBS. Not This Time's second-crop yearlings this year have included 13 that sold for $200,000 or more, with two session toppers at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale and a $225,000 sale-topping filly this week at the OBS October Sale. It is no surprise that Not This Time's first 2-year-olds have come out running. He is represented by a crop-best 14 winners through Oct. 15, including unbeaten grade 1 winner Princess Noor, a leading contender for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1). Princess Noor was a breathtaking 6 1/2-length winner of the Del Mar Debutante Stakes (G1) Sept. 6 and an equally impressive winner of the Chandelier Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita Park in her next outing Sept. 26 for owner Zedan Racing Stables and trainer Bob Baffert. Not This Time is also represented by undefeated stakes winner Dirty Dangle, the winner of the Sept. 19 Woodbine Cares Stakes at Woodbine, and graded stakes-placed Hopeful Princess, who was third in the July 16 Schuylerville Stakes (G3) at Saratoga Race Course. On the racetrack, Not This Time was a dominating winner of the 2016 Iroquois Stakes (G3) and was the runner-up in that year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile (G1). Not This Time is a son of the late sire of sires Giant's Causeway, and he is a half brother to Las Vegas Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1) winner Liam's Map. New for 2021 is Instagrand, a graded stakes-winning son of leading sire Into Mischief. A $1.2 million purchase in 2018 at The Gulfstream Sale, Fasig-Tipton's select 2-year-olds in training sale, Instagrand made an auspicious debut with a jaw-dropping 10-length romp at Los Alamitos Race Course for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. His final time of :56 for the five furlongs was just.32 of a second off the track record. He followed his sparkling debut with another scintillating effort, winning the Best Pal Stakes (G2) at Del Mar by 10 1/4 lengths in wire-to-wire fashion. Nearly identical to his debut score, Instagrand assumed command at the break of the six-furlong test and powered away impressively through the lane. Mshawish, Medaglia d'Oro's only grade 1 winner on dirt and turf, is represented by seven first-crop winners, including Arabian Prince, a debut maiden special weight winner at Churchill Downs; Miss Wild, a debut winner at Monmouth Park by 15 lengths; and additional maiden special weight winners Hitch a Ride and Franz Josef. Daddy Long Legs, a champion first-crop sire in Chile, is a multiple graded stakes-winning millionaire by Scat Daddy. Numbered among his eight first-crop stakes horses was 2-year-old Chilean champion colt Fallen From Heaven, a group 1 winner on dirt and a group 2 winner on turf. Midnight Storm, a brilliantly fast grade 1 winner by Pioneerof the Nile, was a seven-time graded stakes winner who earned $1,783,110 in a stellar racing career. He was the leading freshman sire by yearling average for stallions standing under $20,000. His top-selling yearlings included one for $200,000 to Maverick Racing, $185,000 to Nicoma Bloodstock, and $180,000 to Woodford Thoroughbreds. He will have first-crop 2-year-olds in 2021.
