In addition, since 2016, no other stallion can match his 20 million-dollar plus yearlings. But these lofty achievements should come as no surprise given his lifetime body of work which reflects the following:
• 21 NH G1 winners
• 7 American G1 winners in 2017 – the only other stallion to have as many in a single year was Mr. Prospector in 1987.
• Had 8 million-dollar yearlings in 2018—only Storm Cat and Northern Dancer ever hard more in a single year.
• He’s the ONLY stallion with 2 juvenile G1 winners at the BC in the past five years
• He’s the all-time leading sire of Black Type winners at Saratoga, with 20.
• He’s the all-time leading sire of G1 winners at Del Mar, with 6.
