Wellsville, PA – Building on the momentum of an exceptional 2025 season, Diamond Creek Farm today unveiled its 2026 stallion roster and stud fees. Featured are two notable new stallions and several fresh partnerships that further strengthen an already exceptional lineup, underscoring the farm’s commitment to breeding excellence.
The following provides a detailed breakdown by state, beginning with Indiana.
Indiana
An exciting addition to the roster is Sabonis (Tellitlikeitis-Gypsy Bellevue). Named “Hoosier’s Winningest Horse of 2024,” Sabonis secured major wins in the Graduate Series Final and the Dan Patch Stakes. He now returns to Indiana, where he will stand with Premier Acres in partnership with Cornerstone Stock Farm for a stud fee of $3,500. Sabonis is being syndicated, with shares offered at a strong value of $10,000. Contact Diamond Creek for details.
Kentucky
Always B Miki (Always A Virgin-Artstopper) continues to be a home run stallion. This year he earned his ninth and 10th Breeders Crown winners with Always B Naughty and standout filly Minnie And Miki, who also defeated older mares in the FanDuel Championship Open Mare Pace. His gelding Maximus Miki added major victories in the Canadian Derby, Hoosier Derby, W.R. Haughton, and FanDuel Championship Open Pace. Always B Miki remains in Kentucky with a stud fee of $7,000.
Gimpanzee (Chapter Seven-Steamy Windows) had a strong year with returning 3-year-olds, including KY Sire Stakes winners Belmont and Winnpanzee. Recent sales included a filly out of Southwind Serena for $800,000 and a colt out of Mission Brief for $500,000, while the exceptional Kadena sold for $1.2 million in Harrisburg. Gimpanzee stands for $10,000 at Diamond Creek Kentucky.
New York
Cannibal (Sweet Lou-No More Losses) will remain at his current stud fee of $6,000.
Father Patrick (Cantab Hall-Gala Dream) will have a new home in 2026. A top-five trotting money-winning sire in 2025, he will now stand in partnership with Winbak Farm of New York for $5,000. Diamond Creek will continue to manage bookings and the syndicate.
Ohio
Downbytheseaside (Somebeachsomewhere-Sprig Hanover) comes off an outstanding yearling sale season, with a Lexington average of $93,088. His offspring include Breeders Crown champion Sippinonsearoc, Ohio and KY Stakes winner Harrisburg Heist, Governor’s Cup champion Gentleman’s Club, and impressive 2-year-old Brandon Blvd. Downbytheseaside remains $17,500 for 2026 at Sugar Valley Farm.
The newest addition, Louprint (Sweet Lou-Rockin Racer), joins the Ohio roster. Earning over $1.7 million, Louprint established himself as the fastest and most accomplished colt in his crop with wins in the NA Cup, Little Brown Jug, and a blazing 1:46.3 mark. Louprint will be syndicated, with details forthcoming, and will stand for $17,500 at Winterwood Farm.
Pebble Beach will continue standing in Ohio at $6,000. His first crop reached the ring this year and went to top trainers including Brett Pelling, Ron Burke, and Noel Daley.
Pennsylvania
2023 Horse of the Year Confederate (Sweet Lou-Geothermal) remains at $20,000.
Roster cornerstone Sweet Lou (Yankee Cruiser-Sweet Future) returns to Pennsylvania at $30,000, following another outstanding year producing top performers such as Little Brown Jug winner Louprint, Breeders Crown champion Loua Dipa, and KY Sire Stakes Final winner Women Layer. The two-time Dan Patch Pacing Stallion of the Year will again have limited bookings.
Tactical Approach (Tactical Landing x Sarcy) will stand at a slightly reduced fee of $10,000.
International Frozen
Face Time Bourbon frozen semen remains available for $20,000. This is a rare opportunity to breed to one of Europe’s brightest rising stallions.
