MORRISTON, FL—Pleasant Acres Stallions announced the arrival of Mr Fisk’s first foal, a healthy filly out of Brass Cat, a daughter Bluegrass Cat. The filly arrived early Friday morning at 3:25 a.m. for breeder Martine Britell of Reddick, Florida.

“Our beautiful Brass Cat has blessed us with another big, athletic baby,” Britell said. “Paired with Mr Fisk’s amazing bloodlines and triple-digit speed, we are excited for this filly’s future!”

“A stallion’s first foal is always a milestone and this filly is exactly the kind of start you hope for,” Pleasant Acres Stallions Director of Stallion Services Christine Jones said. “Mr Fisk has the race record, the physical and the pedigree depth we believe Florida breeders deserve. He was a multiple graded-stakes winner with triple-digit Beyer ability, and he brings the rare opportunity to access Arrogate’s line along with a deep successful European female family. This first foal is a great start and we can’t wait to see what his first crop delivers for Florida breeders.”

Mr Fisk is by Arrogate out of Plein Air (Ire), by Manduro (Ger) and delivers graded stakes class and consistency to the Pleasant Acres Stallions roster.

Trained by Bob Baffert, he broke his maiden at Santa Anita, and finished second in the Listed Affirmed Stakes at a mile-and-a-sixteenth. He went on to win the Listed Shared Belief Stakes and Grade 3 Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar. As a 4-year-old, he captured the Grade 3 Californian Stakes and Grade 2 Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes at Santa Anita, earning a triple-digit Beyer. Mr Fisk hit the board in seven of 11 starts, finishing in the money 64% of the time while facing deep, high-quality fields.
