00:00Claiborne Farm has added two new stallions to its roster for 2026.
00:05The first, Mindframe, is a particularly special addition for the farm's stallion season and
00:10Bloodsock manager Jacob West as he had a hand in picking up the future grade one winner when he
00:14was a yearling. The second, Johannes, offers a unique opportunity to breeders as the first
00:20son of Nyquist to stand in Kentucky. We're very excited to stay in Mindframe here at
00:32Claiborne Farm. It's a really cool story to be involved with him you know even back when we
00:37bought him as a yearling but to see him come here and now be here it's you know it's a full circle
00:42moment. He's kind of basically a bigger version now than what he was back then but he was so good
00:47looking and you know $600,000 constitutions and a constitution out of a you know very nice street
00:52since mayor and the depth of family was an added bonus to just how good looking he is you know
00:58seeing him break his maiden in his first start by 13 lengths and then follow that up with the
01:03dominating performance at Churchill then go straight into grade one company in the Belmont
01:08and the Haskell you know then he goes in as a four-year-old Gulfstream Park Mile to really to do
01:13it the way he did at the church in the Churchill Downs you know he defeated four individual grade
01:18one winners in that race and straight you know into Stephen Foster winning that defeating Sierra Leone
01:25and then to win at seven furlongs and to win at nine furlongs against some of the best horses of his
01:29generation just shows how good he was. He's a big horse stands 16-3 stands over a lot of ground he moves
01:36like a cat and he's correct good bone and I think that carried over to just him being a very good
01:42racehorse at the end of the day just that combination of his mind his mechanics his physique and then
01:49his pedigree showed through. If you go back in the annuals of history of Claiborne Farm you know
01:56horses that were fast that could carry their speed over a route of ground is what's been successful here
02:01this horse is no different you know he's going to fall right in line with getting some incredible
02:06mares here on the farm we have an incredible syndicate group that'll back him and the likes of
02:11Rapoli Stable in St. Elias. Constitution you know standing on his own right over at Windstar is a
02:17high-level horse that a lot of people have a lot of respect for and you see the likes of Tis the Law
02:21you know the son of Constitution just gives you added confidence that this horse can can fall into maybe
02:26his father or even grandfather's footsteps. Last year in the fall Johannes' name kind of popped up
02:35like on our radar screens and you know son of Nyquist from a very good family six-time graded stakes
02:42winner and winning the shoemaker mile he ran a hundred plus buyer six times in his career his
02:46style he didn't care who he was running against he he showed up every time and his best race would
02:51probably have to be the shoemaker mile you know winning the way that they did but the city of hope
02:55just this year and the way he was able to kind of sit off the pace and when they turned for home i mean
03:00if you watch him coming down the lane it was basically just a gallop running a big race but
03:04it's Johannes supremely confidently handled and he storms to the front for a back-to-back score in the
03:12city of hope mile being you know the first son of Nyquist to stand in Kentucky is very interesting
03:18you look at his pedigree and you see his physical he's a horse that we really think breeders will love
03:23you know he was a real deal and we think ten thousand dollars you know live full stay in a
03:28nurse is value for a horse like him and his race record and who he's by and his family and then
03:34his looks so we're very excited to have him here and offer him to the breeders
