Hidden Lake Farm announced Sunday that Grade I-stakes winner Mixto (Good Magic–Musical Mystery, by Concerto) will begin his stud career at their Stillwater, New York facility in 2026.
The stallion will stand as the property of a syndicate for $10,000 live foal stands and nurses. The Stallion Company brokered the deal.
“Champion 2 year-old Good Magic is off to a great start as a sire of sires with Grade I-winning sons Muth, Mage and Dornoch at stud,” said Hidden Lake Farm’s Chris Bernhard. “To have a Grade I winner and Good Magic’s Leading money earner of $3,330,680 standing in New York is a true testament to the strength of the New York program.”
Bernhard added, “We believe standing top-class runners by Candy Ride, Gun Runner and now Good Magic for the 2026 season is perfect timing with the new Belmont Park and New York-breds running for purse parity in the near future.”
The striking chestnut, trained by Doug O’Neill for Calumet Farm, recorded his most significant career victory in last season’s GI FanDuel Racing Pacific Classic where he defeated subsequent GI Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Full Serrano.
In his final career start, Mixto finished a half-length behind winner Hit Show (Candy Ride {Arg}) in the G1 Dubai World Cup at Meydan in March. He finished 1 1/2 lengths ahead of subsequent GI Breeders’ Cup Classic scorer Forever Young (Jpn) Reel Steel (Jpn).
“Mixto was a top-class runner,” said Calumet’s Eddie Kane. “His race in the 2025 Dubai World Cup was incredible. Mixto challenged the pace most of the race, unleashed a powerful move in the stretch and was nailed at the wire while beating the 2025 Breeders Cup Classic winner. We look forward to supporting Mixto in New York in 2026.”
Mixto is out of a full-sister to GISW Rigoletta (dam of Grade I winning millionaire Battle of Midway) in addition to track record-setter Evening Concerto. This represents the family of Champion Female Sprinter Musical Romance (Concorde’s Tune), winner of the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint.
