IHDV Stallions Announces Updated Roster, Stallion Show Date

December 6, 2024

Stalwarts King for a Day, Lookin At Lee, Waiting and Warrior’s Charge will return with their fees remaining the same to stand the 2025 season at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in Stillwater. Those four will be joined by graded stakes winner Petulante and former Pennsylvania sire Peace and Justice for 2025.


Mind Control has moved back to Rockridge Stud in Hudson in a planned move that continues to emphasize the cooperative nature of the partnership that brought the three-time Grade 1 winner to the Empire State. IHDV remains active in Mind Control’s management for 2025. He will stand for $8,000 LFSN.


Peace and Justice will stand for $7,500 LFSN. The established and speedy son of War Front moves from Pennsylvania. He is a sire of multiple stakes winners, highlighted by 2024 Grade 3 Caress Stakes winner Dontlookbackatall. He is also the sire of 2024 Claiming Crown Rapid Transit winner, 17-time winner and $563,411-earner Like a Saltshaker.


Petulante will stand for $5,000 LFSN. He is a graded stakes-winning son of Arrogate out of a multiple graded stakes placed Uncle Mo mare. Petulante was never off the board in seven starts.


King for a Day ($5,000 LFSN) and Lookin At Lee ($2,500 LFSN) have had very good first crop winners and both have stakes performers. King for a Day is represented by the four-time stakes-placed colt Soontobeking.


The first crop from Waiting ($2,500 LFSN), a son of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah whose second dam is champion mare Wait a While, are ready to hit the track this summer.


Breeders are very happy with their Warrior’s Charge ($5,000 LFSN) foals. Ten Strike Racing and Madaket Stables remain very highly supportive of the son of Munnings. The foals appear to have their sire’s engine and will hopefully be able to carry their speed as Warrior’s Charge proved time and again in his career.


IHDV will work very closely with breeders by offering incentives for qualifying mares and multiple mare discounts across the entire roster.


IHDV will hold its stallion show this year from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 11 at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater. Lunch will be served, there will be a raffle for a free season to each stallion and special stallion show/early-season pricing will be offered.


The stallions are available for inspection by potential breeders on request.
