Spendthrift Farm released its fees for next year Oct. 7 and multiple leading North American sire Into Mischief remains at the top of its stallion roster at $250,000, his advertised fee for the previous five breeding seasons.
Joining Into Mischief near the top at $100,000 each will be Vekoma , the leading third-crop sire by number of black-type stakes winners, and Yaupon , the leading second-crop sire by progeny earnings, number of stakes winners, and number of graded stakes winners for the year. Vekoma's fee remains unchanged from the 2026 season, while Yaupon's rises from $60,000.
Yaupon, a 9-year-old son of Uncle Mo, has been represented by 15 stakes winners so far this year, seven of which are graded stakes winners. Among his stakes winners is Stradale, who won the Gallant Bob Stakes (G2) and Mahony Stakes (G3T) and is a possible contender in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1). Yaupon was the leading freshman sire of 2025 by progeny earnings and number of stakes winners. His yearling sales average jumped this year to more than $263,700, up from nearly $163,000 in 2025.
Joining the Spendthrift roster this year are grade 1 winners Further Ado and Baeza . Further Ado, a 3-year-old son of Gun Runner , is a possible contender in either the Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) or Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile (G1). Earlier this year, he won the Blue Grass Stakes (G1) at Keeneland, which is the host of this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships, and won the Matt Winn Stakes (G3) at Churchill Downs. He also was runner-up in the Pennsylvania Derby (G1). His stud fee will be announced following the Breeders' Cup.
Baeza, a 4-year-old son of McKinzie , has recently been retired from racing. He won or placed in six grade 1 stakes, including a victory in the 2025 Pennsylvania Derby. He retired with a 2-4-4 record from 13 starts and banked $2,344,700 in earnings. Baeza is a half brother to 2023 Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mage and 2024 Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Dornoch , who are both by Good Magic .
"We are dedicated to being the breeders' farm, and a big part of that is giving breeders meaningful opportunities at every level," said Ned Toffey, general manager of Spendthrift Farm. "Whether it's access to champion and leading sires, young stallions with exciting upside or proven value sires that continue to get results, we want breeders to be able to find a horse on this roster that makes sense for their program."
