Shore Breeze, the leading general sire in Illinois in 2010 and 2011, remained in that position in 2012 based on an active group of runners spread across the East and Midwest. A 15-year-old son of the great, late Danzig, Shore Breeze sired 36 winners in 2012, and his progeny earned $904,067, nearly $70,000 ahead of Cherokee Rap, who died in 2012, on the Illinois general sire list.

PHOENIX – Fittingly, it’s ‘atta boy’ for Atta Boy Roy. The horse, who had plenty of success at Turf Paradise, was recently retired to stud at age 8.
Owned by R.E.V. Racing and trained by Valorie Lund, Atta Boy Roy won 14 races, including the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes in 2010, finishing in the money in nine other races.
Atta Boy Roy started and finished his career at the Phoenix track. He won his first race April 18, 2008, and finished second in his final start, the Swift Stakes, here Feb. 1. He won 5 of 14 starts at Turf Paradise with four second-place finishes.

The farm reported that the foal is a “gorgeous filly, good bone and balance; three white socks and a big white face.”
The filly, bred by David Clancy, is out of the winning Vindication mare Southern Oaks, a daughter of Canadian champion filly Brusque.
PASADENA, Calif. – Acclamation was named California-bred Horse of the Year for the second straight year at the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association’s annual awards dinner Monday night here at the Westin hotel.

Grade 1 winner Victor’s Cry was represented by his first foal on Feb. 8, a bay colt born at Park Stud in Orangeville, Ont.
