Harness: Madden Oaks retired, to stand at Winbak Farm in New York

Dr. J Stallion Management announced on Saturday that Madden Oaks will stand the 2026 breeding season at Winbak Farm of New York for an introductory stud fee of $5,000.

A son of top pacing sire Huntsville and out of the Bettor's Delight mare Hard Eight, Madden Oaks retires from racing with a lifetime mark of 1:48 this year at 3 and earnings of $733,653. Only missing the board in four of 21 lifetime starts, Madden Oaks won this year's edition of the Meadowlands Pace in 1:48, defeating Prince Hal Hanover, and was second in the North America Cup by a neck from post 10 to Louprint, thus stamping him as one of the top colts in this year's glamour boy division.

In addition, Madden Oaks won a leg of the NYSS at Tioga Downs, an elimination of the Progress Pace, was second in the Cane Pace and third in the Somebeachsomewhere, his elimination of the North America Cup, the Bluegrass and the final of the Progress Pace (by a head).
