In the 30 years from 1955 through 1984, either Nasrullah or one of his male-line descendants led the American general sire list 18 times. However, in the 30 years since Seattle Slew led the list for the only time in 1984, only two Nasrullah-line horses have led the same list.
Those two are the great A.P. Indy and his grandson, Tapit, who climbed to the top of the list in 2014. After a gap of 20 years dominated by Northern Dancer and Mr. Prospector, the male line of A.P. Indy has scored three championships in the past 12 years.
New Vocations will host its annual Thoroughbreds For All event, showcasing the usefulness of Thoroughbreds for second careers, the evening of Friday, April 24 in Lexington, Ky.

The 7-year-old son of First Samurai finished with seven wins in 29 starts for earnings of $651,952 racing the bulk of his career for owners James Corvello and James Dolan and trainer John Terranova II. His most notable wins came in the Grade 3 John B. Connally Turf Cup Stakes at Sam Houston and the Tampa Bay Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, along with a trio of listed stakes victories.
Grade 2 winner Wired Bryan will begin his stallion career in Uruguay after being purchased privately for $30,000 on Monday at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky winter mixed sale.
Carlos Moore’s Thoroughbred Bloodstock Bureau brokered the deal for the 4-year-old son of Stormy Atlantic after he was offered in the ring, but finished under his reserve with a final bid of $38,000. Consignor Paramount Sales, agent, offered the colt as a stallion prospect.
Law Enforcement, a multiple stakes-winning son of Posse, has been purchased by David O. Hansen’s Quintana Farm, and will remain standing at Dove Hill Farm in New Prague, Minn., for the 2015 breeding season.
The 10-year-old son of Posse was previously owned by Cam Casby, who died in October after complications from a heart attack. Casby bred Law Enforcement in New York, campaigned him throughout his career, and debuted him at stud in 2013 at Dove Hill Farm.

After a record-setting year on the racetrack and in the auction ring, the demand for progeny of leading sire Tapit has never been higher. That enthusiasm is now starting to carry over into the stud barn.
At least eight sons of Tapit will debut at stud in North America in 2015, entering at all points on the breeding market’s spectrum.
These new arrivals – along with other sons of Tapit who entered stud in previous years – will go a long way in establishing Tapit’s reputation as a sire of sires.
