Taylor Made Stallions' Dr. Schivel , a millionaire son of Violence  who won grade 1 races at 2 and 3, sired his first reported foal Jan. 27 at Drion Thoroughbreds near Nicholasville, Ky.

The colt is the second foal out of the Distorted Humor mare Jocosity and was bred by Sarah Hinkle, Drion Thoroughbreds, and Alistair Roden. Jocosity is a half to stakes winner Pay for Peace and was produced from stakes-placed Dancing Bay, a half sister to multiple stakes winner Heyahowdy.

"He has good bone, scope, and size," said Roden of the newborn colt. "We're definitely breeding a few more mares this year to Dr. Schivel."

Ranking among the top sprinters of his era, Dr. Schivel broke his maiden at age 2 at Del Mar and won the 2020 Del Mar Futurity (G1) in his next start.

At 3, he defeated older horses in the Bing Crosby Stakes (G1) and Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes (G2) and finished second in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1).

At 4, Dr. Schivel finished third in the Dubai Golden Shaheen (G1), and at 5 he added a second victory in the Santa Anita Sprint Championship.

Campaigned by Red Baron's Barn, Rancho Temescal, Reeves Thoroughbred Racing, and William A. Branch, and trained by Mark Glatt, Dr. Schivel won seven times and finished in the money in 12 of 15-lifetime starts while earning $1,347,100.

Dr. Schivel is out of Lil Nugget, a half to grade 1 winner and millionaire Ultra Blend. Dr. Schivel's 2025 stud fee was recently reduced to $5,000.
