Mind Control, who entered stud at Rockridge this year, has been moved to Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions for the 2024 season. The move was predetermined by cooperative agreement among the New York breeders that brought the threetime grade 1 winner to the Empire State last year. The stallion stands for a partnership of Rockridge, Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions, Waldorf Farm, and Hidden Lake Farm. He is standing for $8,500 next year. All fees with a live foal stands and nurses guarantee. 

The busiest stallion outside of Kentucky was New York's Mind Control (Rockridge Stud) with 190. 

Mind Control bred 190 mares this season - more than any other NY stallion IN HISTORY.

Tenacious to the end, Red Oak Stable and Madaket Stable's Mind Control (Stay Thirsty) closed out his career with a win in the 2022 GI Cigar Mile, his third Grade I win and his 11th black-type victory. In a remarkable 29 starts over five years, Mind Control amassed total winnings of $2,185,834. In that race, as in all of Mind Control's stakes wins, he beat an impressive field of competitors, including favored Zandon, White Abarrio, and Get Her Number. Big numbers, indeed.

Multiple grade 1 winner Mind Control  , most recently winner of the Cigar Mile Handicap Presented by NYRA Bets (G1) will enter stud at Rockridge Stud in New York under the management of Irish Hill Farm, Dutchess Views Stallions, Hidden Lake Farm, and Rockridge Stud, the colt's ownership group announced Dec. 21.
