instTaylor Made Stallions has set its 2026 stallion roster and fees for the upcoming breeding season headed by Not This Time, who will stand for $250,000 S&N.

The sire of nine Grade 1 winners, Not This Time is having a landmark year. He is enjoying an unprecedented season with his progeny dominating on the racetrack and delivering impressive results in the auction ring. Not This Time is the No. 1-ranked sire by black-type winners with 22 and the No. 2-ranked General Sire in 2025 with nearly $19 million in progeny earnings. He is the No. 1-ranked sire of 2-year-olds this year in every key category and a leading sire of 3-year-olds as well—with crops bred off $40,000 and $45,000 stud fees, respectively.

In the auction ring this year, Not This Time was the No. 1 sire of seven-figure yearlings at Keeneland September. With yearlings up to $2 million, $1.7 million, $1.6 million, $1.4 million (x3), etc., Not This Time had 17 million-dollar yearlings all told this year—from a crop bred off his first six-figure stud fee.

Not This Time’s loaded Breeders’ Cup roster includes a trio of “Win and You’re In” qualifiers at the Keeneland Fall Meet. Rhetorical won the Coolmore Turf Mile (G1); Imaginationthelady captured the Jessamine S. (G2); and Final Score triumphed in the Bourbon S. (G2).

Additional top-level winners for Not This Time this year include his chief earner Troubleshooting ($1,364,382), winner of the $2 million Franklin-Simpson S. (G1) at Kentucky Downs in September; Magnitude, winner of the $500,000 Risen Star S. (G2) at Fair Grounds; undefeated 3-year-old Disco Time, winner of the Lecomte S. (G3) and the St. Louis Derby and targeting either the Fayette S. (G3) at Keeneland or the Clark S. (G2) at Churchill Downs; and multiple Grade 1-placed Goal Oriented, who is pointing toward the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1).

The best of times is clearly still ahead for the flagship stallion with three of his best-bred books consisting of over 600 mares in the pipeline. With both exceptional quality and massive quantity on the way, Not This Time is positioned to become one of the all-time greats.

Early Voting, winner of the 2022 Preakness S. (G1) and a son of leading stallion and Horse of the Year Gun Runner, will stand for $12,500 S&N. Early Voting saw his first yearlings light up the board this year. He was represented by a $700,000 colt and a $525,000 colt at Keeneland September, and a $525,000 co-sale topping filly at the Fasig-Tipton New York Bred Yearling Sale. Early Voting ranks as a Top 5 first-crop yearling sire from one of the most talented crops of stallions to retire in recent years, averaging $155,625 and an ROI of 6.1x his first-year fee. Early Voting had an 89 percent fertility rate in 2025, and the Classic winner is out of a Tiznow half-sister to the influential sire Speightstown.

Knicks Go, whose fee will be announced later, is the co-leading first-crop sire by graded stakes winners and already has 14 winners to his credit. Leading the charge is Ewing, a $585,000 OBS Spring Sale graduate who proved his class at Saratoga with a dominating 12-length maiden special weight win on debut before securing a front-running victory in the Saratoga Special (G2). Knicks Go is also the sire of La Culasse, third in the Natalma S. (G1) at Woodbine in September.

Instilled Regard, who will stand for $8,000 S&N, is the sire of Minaret Station, the OXO Equine homebred who won the Bourbon S. (G2) at Keeneland at two last year and followed up with a victory in the American Derby at Churchill Downs this year at three. Instilled Regard is further represented by Gordon Pass, third in this year’s Bourbon S. (G2).

Also standing for $8,000 S&N is Instagrand who has established himself as a leading second-crop sire in 2025 and is the No. 2 Cumulative Second-Crop Sire by wins with 80, second only to Vekoma. Instagrand is the sire of Grade 1-placed Ourdaydreamingirl, third in the Cotillion S. (G1) at PARX, and his leading earner on the year is Gateskeeper, runner-up in the $400,000 Gallant Bob S. (G2) at PARX.

Tacitus is represented this year by his first 2-year-olds, which include recent maiden special weight winners Silent Tactic, a $500,000 acquisition by John Oxley at the OBS Spring Sale and an impressive two-length winner at Woodbine in his career bow for Mark Casse, and Politics, a determined winner at 1 1/16 miles at Churchill Downs in his second start for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and trainer Michael McCarthy. Tacitus will stand for $5,000 S&N.

Dr. Schivel, a Grade 1 winner at two and three by leading sire Violence, welcomed first foals in 2025. Winner of the 2020 Del Mar Futurity (G1) at two and the Bing Crosby S. (G1) at three against older horses, Dr. Schivel just missed in the 2021 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Del Mar. He was a two-time winner of the Santa Anita Sprint Championship S. (G2), including in 2023 when he got six furlongs in a sizzling 1:08.49. Dr. Schivel will have first yearlings in 2026. Dr. Schivel will stand for $5,000 S&N.

Idol, victorious in the 2021 Santa Anita H. (G1) and a son of two-time Horse of the Year Curlin, was represented by well-received first yearlings this year, including a $175,000 colt purchased by Repole Stable at Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga Sale. Idol, who will stand for $5,000 S&N, is out of the stakes-winning A.P. Indy mare Marion Ravenwood and is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Nest. Idol’s first 2-year-olds hit the track in 2026.

Angel of Empire stood his first season at stud in 2025 and will stand the upcoming season for $5,000 S&N. Winner of the 2023 Arkansas Derby (G1), Angel of Empire also won the Risen Star S. (G2) and finished a charging third as the race favorite in the Kentucky Derby (G1). He recorded a career-best 104 Beyer Speed Figure on two occasions—in the Kentucky Derby and finishing third in the Jim Dandy S. (G2). Angel of Empire hit the board in 7-of-9 lifetime starts and banked $1,489,375.
