Harness: Sabonis to join stallion ranks in Indiana starting next year

Diamond Creek announced on Sunday afternoon that multiple graded stakes winner Sabonis (1:47 3/5, $814,233) will stand stud in Indiana beginning in 2026, in partnership with Cornerstone Stock Farm and Premier Acres, for a stud fee of $3,500. The stallion has been recently retired to Diamond Creek where he has already impressed with his libido and fertility.

Sabonis is a son of Tellitlikeitis-Gypsy Bellevue-Roll With Joe and was declared "Hoosier's Winningest Horse of 2024" with an impressive 15 wins from 17 starts. His 3-year-old season also included wins in the G2 Carl Milstein Memorial at Northfield Park and G3 Jenna's Beach Boy for trainer Aaron Stutzman. Purchased as a 4-year-old by Diamond Creek Racing and Pelling Racing, Sabonis scored a 1:47 3/5 victory in the G2 Graduate Series Final at the Meadowlands and returned to Indiana to capture the Grade 2 $300,000 Dan Patch Stakes.

"Anyone that follows the Indiana program knows just how dominant Sabonis was," said Jeff Fought of Cornerstone Stock Farm. "It was no surprise to see what he went on to do nationally as a 4-year-old. We'll be heavily supporting him as he comes back home to begin his stallion career."

Trainer Brett Pelling added, "Having been around successful stallions, I see similar traits in Sabonis in regards to his strength and intelligence."
