Darby Dan Farm announced Oct. 9 a 2025 stud fee of $12,500 for incoming new stallion Blazing Sevens , winner of the 2022 Champagne Stakes (G1) and runner-up in the 2023 Preakness Stakes (G1).
The 4-year-old colt is available for inspection. His fee is for when the foal stands and nurses.
The Chad Brown trainee concludes his career with a 3-1-3 record in 12 starts and earnings of $998,850 for owner Rodeo Creek Racing.
"His connections had high hopes for a strong racing season at age 4, but minor setbacks took their toll. That does not take from his impressive grade 1 win as a 2-year-old and a near-miss in the Preakness Stakes at 3," said Stuart Fitzgibbon, Darby Dan Farm's stallion director. "Blazing Sevens' combination of top-class racing achievements, physical attributes, and lineage make him a highly desirable stallion. We're excited to introduce him to breeders."
By Good Magic , the sire of five grade 1 winners from his first two crops, Blazing Sevens is out of the winning Warrior's Reward mare Trophy Girl , a half sister to grade 1 winner King David and stakes winner Bertsgoldenmissile . Bred in Kentucky by Tracy Farmer, Blazing Sevens was a $225,000 purchase from the 2021 The Saratoga Sale, Fasig-Tipton's select yearling sale.
Peter Bradley, racing manager for Rodeo Creek Racing, said, "Blazing Sevens is a standout. He is jaw-dropping gorgeous."
