Meet Provocateur, the latest addition to McMahon Stud in New York. Purchased for $200,000 at the 2022 Keeneland November Sale by McMahon and Hill Bloodstock, this 5-year-old beauty has had an impressive racing career, earning a total of $240,000 in his 14-race career. Although he will no longer be racing, Provocateur is set to make a mark in the breeding world, standing at a fee of $5,000.
Described by Joe McMahon as a “very, very good-looking horse, very correct,” Provocateur’s lineage is just as impressive. “And of course everyone knows Into Mischief-he’s the leading stallion in North America,” McMahon added, highlighting the potential for success for Provocateur. With his strong race record and notable achievements, Provocateur is expected to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor Honest Mischief, who garnered success as a Grade II-placed stallion with a strong breeding season.
This exciting new addition has already made waves in the racing world, winning the Hutcheson S. at Gulfstream Park at the age of two and finishing third in the GI Woody Stephens S. at the age of three. With his remarkable performance in top-tier company, Provocateur is set to embark on a new chapter as a stud. His legacy is bound to continue as he transitions from racing to breeding, offering breeders the opportunity to invest in a promising bloodline with a proven track record.
McMahon Stud is thrilled to welcome Provocateur and is eager to witness the impact he will undoubtedly have on the breeding industry. With a strong lineage and impressive performance, Provocateur is poised to continue his success in the breeding world.
