Three Rancho San Miguel Stallions Among California’s Early 2026 Leaders
San Miguel, California—Three stallions anchoring the current roster at California’s Rancho San Miguel are among the state’s Top 11 active sires ranked by 2026 progeny earnings six weeks into the new racing year.
Leading the trio ― and the entire state ― at #1 is Collected, a 13-year-old son of City Zip who is standing his inaugural season in California after previously holding court at Airdrie Stud in Kentucky. The 2017 Pacific Classic (G1) victor has sent out 12 Northern Hemisphere winners through February 13, and has a state-best bankroll of $553,620 accrued by his runners this year. His top 2026 earner, at $108,533, is the 3-year-old colt Aljamih, a winner in Saudi Arabia out of the mare Moonshine Magic, a daughter of the former California-based stallion Bluegrass Cat.
From four crops to race, Collected boasts overall progeny earnings of more than $19 million, buoyed by 22 stakes winners, including seven in graded company.
Collected’s 2026 fee is $7,500.
Ranking fifth among all active California stallions by 2026 progeny earnings is the farm’s venerable resident Sir Prancealot (Ire), whose sons and daughters have banked a cumulative $301,070 thus far this year.
The top earner to date for the 16-year-old son of Tamayuz (GB), at $56,000, is recent Santa Anita Park winner Sir Percival, a 4-year-old gelding out of the Paddy O’Prado mare Christmas Carol.
Two additional Sir Prancealot runners scored black-type placings on the track’s California Cup program last month to kick off the stallion’s stakes tally for 2026: $175,000 California Chrome Cal Cup Derby runner-up Sammy Davis and $125,000 Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Sprint Stakes third-place finisher Prancingthruparis. Both horses are prior stakes winners.
A sire of 39 international stakes horses overall, Sir Prancealot commands a $6,000 fee this year.
Two runners from the first foal crop of Grade 1 winner Mo Forza have already reached the winner’s circle in 2026, helping to position their 10-year-old sire among California’s 11 top-ranked active stallions for the new year with his cumulative progeny earnings of $107,945. These 3-year-old maiden winners are the Santa Anita-based filly Famous Forza and the colt Forza Azzurri, whose three-length victory on January 22 was recorded at Gulfstream Park in Florida.
Millionaire Mo Forza, by Uncle Mo, currently stands for a fee of $5,000.
