On Monday, Claiborne Farm opens the doors to its historic breeding shed, where six Triple Crown winners, among dozens of other classic winners, have been conceived. War Front will walk into that breeding shed as the most expensive stallion in North America for this breeding season.
The first of what will be just a handful of foals by Battle of Midway, the 2017 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner with fertility obstacles, is a filly born Feb. 7 at Chesapeake Farm in Lexington, Ky.
The filly is out of the Giant's Causeway mare La Boheme, who is a half-sister to graded stakes winners Electrify and Rothko, as well as stakes producers Cream Only, Kinsey, Brilliancy, and Cuckoo Sue. Both La Boheme and her new foal are boarded at Chesapeake for owner Thor-Bred Stables LLC, which bred Battle of Midway.
Grade 2 winner Cheekaboo lived up to high expectations by selling for $300,000 to Japanese interests as the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale began with gains on Monday.
The two-day sale in Lexington, Ky., marking the final major-market mixed auction before Northern Hemisphere breeding sheds open for business, moved 146 horses during its opening session for revenues of $4,677,200. That marked a gain of 13 percent from last year's opening session, when 181 horses sold for $4,134,200.
Our annual Eastern Stallions special edition takes a closer look at the robust regional stallion markets in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Florida. The region is coming off a season in which several state-bred programs or local stallions were represented by Eclipse Award champions or Grade 1 winners, and coming into a season in which the region welcomes several graded stakes winners to stud.
Canadian champion Uncaptured got his own racing career off to a swift start with a stellar season as a juvenile. Now a young stallion at Ocala Stud, he started his stud career in fitting fashion, finishing as Florida’s leading freshman sire of 2018.
Uncaptured, by Lion Heart, recorded eight individual winners from 26 first-crop starters for earnings of $584,829. That bankroll also placed him 10th among living sires on the national freshman earnings list, and third among all Florida sires by juvenile earnings behind Brethren and Adios Charlie.
Great Notion and Friesan Fire have emerged as leaders in Maryland’s sire ranks following the pensioning and death of the state’s titan, Not For Love. Their reign continued in 2018, as they were again the leading general sires by earnings.
Central Banker made a stellar debut with his first runners in 2018, not only finishing as New York’s leading freshman sire by a wide margin, but leading all juvenile sires in the state and ranking in the top 10 nationally among freshmen.
