War Dancer  , who is New York's current leading turf sire and top five sire overall, is returning to Rockridge Stud for the 2025 breeding season, the farm announced Sept. 26.

He also was runner-up in the Man o' War Stakes (G1T) at Belmont. As a sire, he's been represented by New York turf stakes winners Dancing Buck , Step Dancer , and Mz Big Bucks . His progeny to date have collectively earned more than $9.5 million.

"The War Dancer Team supports their stallion at every level and we are looking forward to contributing to War Dancer's continued success," said Rockridge owner and manager Lere Visagie.
