Taylor Made Stallions announced that Arthur’s Ride (Tapit–Points of Grace, by Point Given), winner of the 2024 GI Whitney at Saratoga, will stand the 2026 breeding season at their farm. His stud fee has been set at $12,500 S&N.
“Arthur’s Ride is a horse we were very high on after his impressive back-to-back victories at Saratoga, including his win in the GI Whitney, earning a 110 Beyer,” said Travis White, vice-president of Taylor Made Stallions. “The race prior to the Whitney, he ran a 111 Beyer and won by 12 3/4 lengths.”
The striking grey has banked $819,355 for owner Glassman Racing—Karl and Cathi Glassman—under the conditioning of Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott.
Arthur’s Ride was a $250,000 Keeneland September Sale purchase by agent Donato Lanni in 2021. The 5-year-old is out of Canadian champion turf mare Points of Grace, who is also the dam of Canadian champion 2-Year-Old filly Victory to Victory (Exchange Rate), winner of the 2016 GI Natalma Stakes at Woodbine.
“He has an outstanding physical and was purchased by Donato Lanni, so we believe commercial breeders will love him,” White added. “He’s got the type of pedigree we look for. He is by a top sire, out of a champion, and is a half-brother to a champion 2-year-old filly.”
In his front-running performance in last year’s Whitney, Arthur’s Ride defeated subsequent Eclipse Award Older Dirt Male Champion National Treasure along with seven other graded stakes winners.
Prior to his Whitney triumph, the son of Tapit romped by 12 3/4 lengths in an allowance/optional claiming victory over 1 1/4 miles at Saratoga. He had earlier earned a 101 Beyer in a 7 1/2-length allowance/optional claiming score at one mile at Gulfstream Park.
