The Bettor’s Wish Syndicate is pleased to announce that Bettor’s Wish stud fee will be set at $6,000 for the 2026 breeding season standing at Southwind Farms in New Jersey.
Bettor’s Wish‘s three crops of racing age numbering 188 foals have earned $7.4 million to date. His first-year N.J.-eligible crop have earned an impressive $103,638 in earnings per registered foal.
“Bettor’s Wish has passed on his speed and determination to his offspring like this season’s standout Twisted Destiny and multiple-stakes-winners Royally Hot and Wedlock Blue Chip,” said trainer Chris Ryder.
Twisted Destiny, p 3, 1.48F ($470,199) raced against the best of the 3-year-old colt pacers all season long, winning the G2 Messenger at Yonkers, elimination of the G1 Adios, where he set his 3-year-old mark, the Liberty Bell, and a Pennsylvania Sires Stakes at Harrah’s Philadelphia, beating Captain Optimistic.
The New Jersey stakes schedule provides a very robust program at the Meadowlands all season long. In 2025, a 2-year-old N.J.-sired pacer had $920,000 in stakes to race for. New for 2026, N.J. Sires Stakes is planning for a platinum and silver level offering even more racing opportunities.
Expanded racing opportunities combined with N.J. breeders, sired and resident mare rewards make N.J. a winning place to breed and race.
