GANSEVOORT, N.Y. — Mountain View Farm is pleased to announce that Newgrange, a five-time graded stakes-winning son of Violence with more than $1 million in earnings, will join its stallion roster in Gansevoort, New York. A debut winner at two who captured graded stakes at three, four and five, Newgrange offers breeders a combination of precocity, consistency and a pedigree that unites the influences of Medaglia d’Oro and Empire Maker.
Mountain View Farm has acquired an ownership interest in Newgrange, strengthening its relationship with Sequel New York and Kirk Wycoff, an existing member of the Newgrange syndicate. The remaining syndicate members retain their interests and their commitment to supporting the stallion as he approaches the arrival of his first foals in 2027. Sequel also holds an interest in Imagination, further reinforcing the shared investment in both stallions’ futures and the New York breeding industry.
“Newgrange fits the vision we have for Mountain View Farm: giving New York breeders access to a Kentucky-caliber pedigree backed by an exceptional race record,” said David Cannizzo. “He’s a gorgeous individual with the speed to win first time out at two and the class to become a five-time graded stakes winner. That combination of pedigree, physical quality and early ability is exactly what we want to offer our breeders. We’re excited about his potential to sire precocious, athletic foals that can make an early impact on the racetrack.”
Newgrange retired with seven victories and four third place finishes from 17 starts, earning $1,014,584. His five graded stakes victories include the San Pasqual Stakes twice (G2), the San Antonio Stakes (G2), the Southwest Stakes (G3) and the Sham Stakes (G3).
He made an immediate impression on the racetrack, winning his six-furlong debut at Del Mar. Victories in the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita and the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park followed, beginning his career undefeated in three starts and establishing him on the Kentucky Derby trail. His success continued against older horses, with victories in the San Pasqual Stakes and San Antonio Stakes at four before he returned at five to defend his San Pasqual title. His graded stakes wins came at distances ranging from one mile to 1⅛ miles.
Newgrange is by Grade 1 winner Violence, a son of Medaglia d’Oro. Violence’s progeny have earned more than $69.1 million, and he is the sire of 57 black-type winners worldwide, including 22 graded/group winners. Violence is represented by champion Forte, a four-time Grade 1 winner whose victories include the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Florida Derby. His other Grade 1-winning sons include Dr. Schivel, Mullikin, No Parole and Volatile, all of whom have joined the stallion ranks.
Newgrange is out of Bella Chianti, an unraced daughter of Empire Maker. She has produced five winners from five starters and is a full sister to stakes-placed Zimmer and a daughter of Bella Chiarra, a nine-time winner who earned $636,088, captured the Rampart Handicap (G2) and placed in the Vanity Handicap (G1).
The accomplished female family also includes Grade 2 winner Amalfi Sunrise, who won both of her starts at two, including the Sorrento Stakes (G2), and multiple graded stakes winner David Copperfield.
Newgrange’s arrival continues Mountain View Farm’s expansion of its breeding program, bringing another multiple graded stakes winner with a deep pedigree to breeders throughout New York and the Northeast.
Newgrange (Violence, out of Bella Chianti, by Empire Maker) joins Leinster (Majestic Warrior, out of Vassar, by Royal Academy), Imagination(Into Mischief, out of Magical Feeling, by Empire Maker), and Fire At Will(Declaration of War, out of Flirt, by Kitten’s Joy)
