Leading Kentucky sires: Into Mischief

Into Mischief is a young stallion with many years remaining in the breeding shed, but he is already putting himself in elite company. The 10-year-old Harlan’s Holiday horse, who stands at Spendthrift Farm in Lexington, Ky., led all Kentucky stallions by average progeny earnings last year. Into Mischief’s runners won an average of $69,497, easily outpacing breed-shaping sire A.P. Indy – pensioned in 2011 – whose progeny averaged $56,371. Rounding out the top five by average earnings were Ghostzapper, leading sire Tapit, and Pioneerof the Nile, all of whom were represented by Eclipse Award winners in 2014.

Leading Kentucky sires: Candy Ride

Opportunities to race on synthetic surfaces have dried up quickly in North America, with Santa Anita, Del Mar, and Keeneland replacing their main tracks with dirt and Hollywood Park closing its doors in recent years. With no North American Grade 1 races scheduled on all-weather surfaces for 2015, Candy Ride likely will serve as the bookend among Kentucky’s leading sires during the era of elite-level synthetic-surface racing.

Leading Kentucky sires: Stormy Atlantic

As Stormy Atlantic begins to settle into his 20s, he remains a stallion for the young at heart. Since his first foals hit the track in 2002, runners by Stormy Atlantic, a 21-year-old son of Storm Cat, have shown a knack for starting fast as juveniles. That trend continued last year, as Stormy Atlantic led all Kentucky sires by 2-year-old stakes wins and stakes winners.
