Dialed In Tops Darby Dan Roster for 2022

Dialed In  , the leading sire of his freshman class and still at the top of his class this year, tops Darby Dan Farm's stallion roster for 2022 at $15,000, the same fee he carried earlier this year.

The 12 stallions standing at Darby Dan also include new sire and multiple graded stakes winner Modernist  , top five third-crop sire Tapiture  , and grade 1 winner Higher Power  , whose first foals arrive next year. Those three will each stand for $10,000.

Dialed In, a 13-year-old son of Mineshaft  , is among the top five leading North American sires this year by number of 3-year-old winners (55) and by earnings from 3-year-olds ($4,406,294). His top runners of 2021 include nine black-type performing sophomores and five graded stakes horses led by Super Stock , who won the Arkansas Derby (G1) and the Runhappy Ellis Park Derby. Dialed In also sired Mr. Wireless , who won the Indiana Derby (G3) and the West Virginia Derby (G3).

Tapiture, a 10-year-old son of Tapit  , is the leading third-crop sire by number of winners with 115 and the fourth-leading sire of his class by progeny earnings at more than $6 million. Tapiture also is the second-leading North American sire by number of 3-year-old winners with 64, putting him just behind two-time leading sire Into Mischief  . Among his top runners so far this year are Iowa Breeders' Derby winner You Talkin to Me  and grade 1-placed Jesus' Team , who was second in the Pegasus World Cup Invitational Stakes (G1) in January to top handicap division runner Knicks Go  .

Higher Power, a son of Medaglia d'Oro  , was a 5 1/4-length winner of the 2019 $1 Million TVG Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) at Del Mar, where he earned a 113 Equibase Speed Figure and defeated a field made up entirely of graded stakes winners, including three North American grade 1 winners. Higher Power also placed in the Longines Breeders' Cup Classic (G1), Hollywood Gold Cup (G1), and Awesome Again Stakes (G1).

Modernist is a multiple graded stakes winner by leading sire Uncle Mo   out of the Bernardini mare Symbolic Gesture, who is a half sister to both champion 2-year-old filly Sweet Catomine  and 2009 Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic (G1) winner Life Is Sweet . He has been retired and will stand for a partnership between the farm and Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock. Modernist won the 2020 Risen Star Stakes Presented by Lamarque Ford (G2) at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots and the Excelsior Stakes (G3) at Aqueduct Racetrack for owner/breeders Marty and Pam Wygod and trainer Bill Mott. Modernist has a 3-2-2 record from 11 starts and earned $576,300.

Darby Dan will once again be offering various incentive programs in 2022 to provide value to breeders, including Profit Protection, Share the Upside, Black-Type Bonanza, and Goldmine 20/20 Match Program.
