Sequel New York is proud to announce that Newgrange, the multiple graded stakes-winning son of Violence, will take up stud duties at Sequel New York beginning with the 2026 breeding season.

A durable and consistent performer, Newgrange captured graded stakes at 3, 4, and 5, including victories in the G2 San Antonio and back-to-back victories in the G2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita. As a three-year-old on the Kentucky Derby trail, Newgrange won the G3 Sham Stakes at SantaAnita and the G3 Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park. Over the course of his career, he amassed more than $1 million in earnings while competing at the highest levels of the sport.

“Newgrange possessed all the right physical attributes from the very beginning. On the racetrack, he demonstrated class, toughness, and an undeniable will to win. He represents exactly the type of horse I aim to purchase—and the kind of stallion breeders should be eager to breed to.” – Donato Lanni

By Violence, one of the most successful stallions of his generation, Newgrange is out of the winning Empire Maker mare Bella Chianti, making him a grandson of the legendary Unbridled. This rich pedigree combines speed, stamina, and toughness—qualities that Newgrange repeatedly displayed on the racetrack.

“When purchasing Violence, I was struck by his balance and athleticism. Newgrange reminds me of his sire in those same ways—he has that same raw physicality, competitive spirit, and ability to carry his speed over a distance. Those shared qualities give me every confidence that Newgrange will follow in Violence’s footsteps and become a terrific sire. We at Newtownanner are excited to be a major shareholder in Newgrange andlook forward to supporting him with a strong book of quality mares.” – Hanzly Albina, Newtownanner

“A striking individual with the size, scope, and athleticism to match his race record, Newgrange retires sound after a career that showcased his versatility and toughness across multiple tracks, distances, and conditions.”Newgrange embodies everything we look for in a stallion prospect. He was precocious at two, dominant at three, and proved his class and soundness competing against the best older horses. He’s a horse that breeders in New York and beyond are going to love.” – Becky Thomas

Stud fee to be announced at a later date.
