MR FISK is making his mark on the Class of 2026, and this foal is a prime example of why breeders are taking notice. Out of Amoret, a NY-Bred daughter of HONOR CODE, this foal carries a female line with serious credentials. Dig into the pedigree and you'll find the foal's 2nd dam — FREUD'S NOTEBOOK — a multiple black type winner who scored at Saratoga and Aqueduct, placed at Finger Lakes and in the New York Stallion Park Avenue Stakes, and banked nearly half a million dollars in career earnings. The only son of the incomparable ARROGATE standing in Florida, MR FISK is bringing something rare to the Sunshine State — and this female family is more than ready to meet him.

Meet another addition to the Pleasant Acres Stallions' Class of 2026!

Our very own 2021 Florida Freshman Sire of the Year – NEOLITHIC – never disappoints. This extraordinary foal is out of DELPHINIA (KY), a mare who wasted zero time making her mark! She placed in her debut, broke her maiden second time out, then stepped straight into black type with a win in the Cincinnati Trophy Stakes — all in just three starts!

NEOLITHIC produces stakes horses in every crop — a level of consistency that sets him apart and keeps breeders coming back. This foal's dam is proof of that loyalty! When DELPHINIA's 2025 NEOLITHIC foal hit the ground looking the part, she was bred back to him for another future winner!

The Class of 2026 is here — and NEOLITHIC keeps raising the bar.

Welcome to the Class of 2026. When the first foal looks this good, you go back! This is the second MAGIC ON TAP foal out of Belacqua (IRE), a daughter of HAVANA GOLD (IRE). Belacqua broke her maiden first time out and finished on the board in all four of her starts – including a black type effort with a 3rd in the Penn Oaks at Penn National. MAGIC ON TAP — a graded stakes winner by TAPIT — is proving to be exactly the kind of sire worth coming back to!

Sometimes you see a foal and it just stops you in your tracks! This stunning chestnut by CHAMPIONS DREAM is one of those. With three white stockings, a beautiful face, and the kind of athletic build that gets attention, we are excited about this one. Out of Hurricane Ridge, a MUNNINGS daughter making her debut as a broodmare with this — her very first foal — and she's already delivering. With JUSTIFY's Triple Crown brilliance running through CHAMPIONS DREAM and MUNNINGS' speed influence on the dam side, the pedigree backs up every inch of what you're looking at. This one is special!

Next on our list of "Class of 2026" foals is this exciting youngster by MR FISK, out of the precocious Enjoy Yourself (Sir Percy) — who wasted no time proving her talent! She broke her maiden first asking, placed 3rd in the Chelsey Flower Stakes (Black Type) at Belmont Park, finished 2nd in the Grade 3 Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay, and added another black type effort with a 3rd in the Drumtop Stakes at Suffolk Downs. She's been just as impressive in the breeding shed — producing 3 winners from 4 starters with progeny earnings approaching $350,000. THEN....she had a date with the ONLY son of ARROGATE standing in Florida. :) We can't wait to watch this one develop!
