Unbridled
His sire, the late Unbridled, won both the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup Classic. In his relatively short career at stud, he had established himself as one of the leading sires in the world. Some of his well known progency are:
Fappiano
Occasionally something appears bearing the mark of future greatness and then is taken away before the promise is fulfilled. One such shining light was the stallion Fappiano, a 1977 son of Brilliant/Classic chef-de-race Mr. Prospector out of Killaloe, by Dr. Fager. He died at age thirteen.His Grade 1 level winners include Aptostar, Cahill Road, Cryptoclearance, Defensive Play, Grand Canyon, Quiet American, Rubiano, Serape, Some Romance, Tappiano, Tasso, and Unbridled. Fappiano�s lifetime Average-Earnings Index (AEI) is an exceptional 4.52, measured against a Comparable Index of 3.02. Two of his sons Grindstone and Unbridled, both with just their fourth crop currently racing, have emerged as major sires. Several other sons, including Cryptoclearance, Pentelicus, Cahill Road, Fappavalley, Rubiano, and Defensive Play also have demonstrated the ability to sire high quality runners.Fappiano�s record as a broodmare sire is equally impressive. Fappiano�s AEI as a broodmare sire is an excellent 2.29, with a Comparable Index of 2.08.To put his stud record in perspective, Fappiano�s sire statistics placed him tenth in my ranking among all sires of North American runners with at least fifty lifetime foals of racing age through 1997. That�s good enough to position him between Pleasant Colony and Seattle Slew. On the broodmare sire side, he ranked fourteenth, between Hail to Reason and Round Table.Here his daughters have produced 83% open stakes winners at a mile or less. Certainly this level of performance places him among the premier sires of his generation.
Mr. Prospector
Mr. Prospector (1970-1999) was a thoroughbred racehorse who won half of his 14 career starts, but whose descendants have come to dominate the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.Mr. Prospector managed to set track records for six furlongs (1,207 m) at Gulfstream Park and Garden State, but his racing record had little inkling of his success as a breeding sire.
Storm Cat
Storm Cat is one of the most influential stallions in the history of the breed and North America�s top stallion. He is the sire of over 125 stakes winners worldwide and his sons and daughters are proving to be excellent producers as well. At least 39 different sons of Storm Cat have sired stakes winners and his daughters have thrown the likes of Speightstown, Sky Mesa, Buddha, Sahara Gold and Jump Start. In 2004, Storm Cat has sired two G1-winners, Consolidator and Sweet Catomine. Not surprisingly offspring of Storm Cat are in high demand at public auction. At the 2004 Keeneland September sale a yearling Storm Cat colt brought a final bid of $8 million. That figure is the highest ever for a September yearling and Storm Cat has now sired the more $1 million yearlings than any other stallion in history.
Northern Dancer
Northern Dancer was a Canadian-bred thoroughbred racehorse and the most successful sire in racing history. |
