New Pleasant Acres Stallion Mr Fisk Has First Foal On The Ground

Pleasant Acres Stallions in Florida stands MGSW Mr Fisk (by Arrogate), who now has his first foal, a filly out of New York-bred Brass Cat (Bluegrass Cat), the farm said in a release on Friday.

The new arrival hit the ground early on Friday morning at 3:25 a.m. ET for breeder Martine Britell.

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

By the gone-to-soon Arrogate, Mr Fisk won the GIII Native Diver Stakes at Del Mar for trainer Bob Baffert. The Sunny Brook Stables homebred also captured the GIII Californian Stakes and the GII Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes–both at Santa Anita.

“A stallion's first foal is always a milestone, and this filly is exactly the kind of start you hope for,” said Director of Stallion Services at Pleasant Acres Stallions Christine Jones. “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,” she said. “This first foal is a great start and we can't wait to see what his first crop delivers for Florida breeders.”
