Arkansas Derby Winner Muth Welcomes His First Foal, a Filly
Here’s some exciting news from the world of Thoroughbred racing. Muth, the young Gainesway stallion who made a big splash on the track as a Grade I winner at both two and three, has just welcomed his very first foal—a filly—on New Year’s Day. She arrived at 2:30 a.m., kicking off 2026 with plenty of promise for fans of the sport.
This little filly comes from impressive bloodlines. She is out of Marlinspike, a winning daughter of Tapit. And if that wasn’t enough, Marlinspike herself is a daughter of 2000 Eclipse Award champion Surfside, making the filly a granddaughter of another champion, 1994 Eclipse Award winner Flanders. On top of that, she shares a family connection with multiple stakes winner Bullet, making her a half-sister to a proven performer. So, expectations for her future on the track are naturally high.

Muth’s own story is just as noteworthy. He was the $2 million topper at the OBS March sale in 2023 and earned the distinction of being a ‘TDN Rising Star’ for Zedan Racing. On the racetrack, he captured both the GI American Pharoah Stakes and the GI Arkansas Derby, cementing his reputation as a top-class competitor. His combination of speed and stamina makes him a highly sought-after stallion, and in 2026, he will be standing his second season at Gainesway with a stud fee of $30,000.
The birth of Muth’s first foal is a significant moment, not just for the stallion’s connections, but for breeders and racing enthusiasts who are watching the next generation with keen interest. With such a strong pedigree and a proven sire behind her, this filly will be closely monitored as she grows, and many will be curious to see if she can follow in her family’s footsteps and shine on the racetrack.
It’s always exciting when a new foal enters the scene, especially one with such promising lineage. For Muth, this marks the beginning of his legacy as a stallion, and for the filly, it’s the very start of what could be a remarkable racing career. Breeders and fans alike will surely be keeping a close eye on her development in the months and years to come.
