Pleasant Acres Stallions is pleased to announce the arrival of Doppelganger —a son of Into Mischief out of Twice the Lady, by Quiet American—who will stand in Florida in 2024 for $10,000.
“Bred on the same crossover Fappiano-line mares as champion Covfefe and Maximus Mischief, we are confident he will make an impressive impact on future Florida crops,” said Pleasant Acres Stallions owner Joe Barbazan.
Doppelganger—a $570,000 Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase purchase—broke his maiden on debut at 2 with a 3 1/2-length score at Los Alamitos Race Course.
“When we saw him at the sale the whole team, Bob (Baffert), Tom (Ryan), and myself, agreed he was an absolute must-have,” said Donato Lanni. “I am looking forward to seeing his babies hit the sales in a couple of years.”
At 3 he placed in the San Felipe Stakes (G2) and Affirmed Stakes (G3), and captured the Carter Handicap (G1) and Battery Park Stakes at 4.
“Doppelganger exudes class in every sense. He’s an eye-catching individual with more natural power and strength than his (duplicate) Authentic. Commercially, he gives breeders an excellent chance to get a proper ROI, especially with the precocious nature of the broodmare base in Florida,” said Tom Ryan of SF Bloodstock.
Doppelganger joins stallions Amira’s Prince , Bodexpress , Chess Chief , Curlin’s Honor , Gone Astray , Gunnevera , Leinster , Magic on Tap , Neolithic , No Never No More , and Sweetontheladies at the 220-acre farm located just northwest of Ocala.
