I am certain that ananlysis of place and show finishers would expand the stalion pool and deepen understanding of current trends, however taking a quick look at the winners shows some powerful lines continuing on and some newer branches emerging. To fully understand which sire lines top broodmare owners are leaning to, evaluate the success of two and three year olds in various sires stakes programs and in Breeders Crown events, and you will know what buyers are looking for, in terms of pedigree and top line prowess, at standardbred yearling sales like the upcoming 2010 Harrisburg Standardbred Yearling sale, November 8th to 13th.
$250,000 Breeders Crown Mare Trot - Jailhouse Jesse
Daughter Buck I St. Pat continued her dominance and making her an incredibly valuable broodmare. A Donerail son, Jailhouse Jesse is a grandson of the game-changing sire Valley Victory.
$600,000 Breeders Crown Open Trot - Enjoy Lavec
The seven year old son Enough Talk proved that his record setting miles in 2009 were no fluke. Like Chip Chip Hooray and Dream Vacation, Enjoy Lavec is a son of the formidable outcross trotting stallion (Speedster line via Arnie Almahurst and Arndon) Pine Chip.
$600,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Filly Trot - Conway Hall
I was in a minority position picking Martiniontherocks to win this, however her Canadian connections and her solid Garland Lobell top line helped bolster the impression she was still improving and could come up big.
$500,000 Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Colt Trot - Revenue
If he can continue his winning ways, Break The Bank K may have an opportunity to become a valued outcross sire, being a son of European trotting stallion Revenue, the only non-Hambletonian line sire to have succeeded at the highest levels of trotting in recent decades (pacing is 100% Hambletonian line). Revenue wrapped up his duties at Perretti in NJ and is off to Sweden for 2011.
$600,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Filly Pace - Bettors Delight
See You At Peelers is just another jewel in the crown of Bettors Delight, the Cams Card Shark son who verifies nightly that Cam Fella line colts are still on the prowl and the Shark-oriented variety is indeed a bettor's delight.
$600,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Colt Trot - Yankee Glide
Manofmanymissions drew into the final because of a late scratch, and did his sire Yankee Glide proud. A super-successful son of Valley Victory, Yankee Glide is perhaps succeeded only by another Valley Victory son, Muscles Yankee.
$600,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Colt Pace - Western Ideal
Big Jim showed us that Rocknroll Hanover's sire Western Ideal can still bring it himself, and that Western Hanover line colts remain the overall dominant force in two and three year old stakes racing.
$500,000 Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Filly Trot - Credit Winner
Impressive Kemp upset the favourites and improved her position in the breeding shed. As a daughter of Credit Winner, she will be in demand as a Breeders Crown winning scion of the Super Bowl - American Winner line. This line is alive and well in the form of Crazed, Herecomesherbie and the impressive Chocolatier.
$300,000 Breeders Crown Mare Pace - Camluck
Dreamfair Eternal has dominated Mohawk Raceway and her prowess continued Stateside. A daughter of the Cam Fella son and inestimable foundation sire Camluck, she will be prized as a broodmare when it's time to hang up the sulky.
$500,000 Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Filly Pace - Rocknroll Hanover
Put On A Show is no fluke and continues to be one of the fastest most reliable fillies ever, illustrating again that the Rocknroll Hanover (Western Ideal, out of goddess mare Rich N Elegant, by Direct Scooter) trunk of Western Hanover's multiplicity of quality descendants is the strongest wood.
$500,000 Breeders Crown Open Pace - Western Hanover
Rather than face Rock N Roll Heaven in the Three year Old Pace, Won The West's connections decided to pit him against the older horses and the ambit paid off, with the Western Hanover son tripping the wire in 1.49 flat. From the second-last crop of Western Hanover, Won The West may race some more yet will likely find a place at stud himself sometime soon. Western Hanover is the most dominant son of the Most Happy Fella line stallion No Nukes.
$500,000 Breeders Crown Three-Year-Old Colt Pace - Rocknroll Hanover
Rock N Roll Heaven lived up to form and continued his winning ways in the prestigious Breeders Crown final for 3 year old colt pacers, keeping the Western Hanover-Western Ideal - Rocknroll Hanover sire line in the limelight.
The racing champion also has the top 3 pacing sires up close, Western Hanover on top and Artsplace and Cam Fella via dam Artistic Vision.
Many happy returns,
Joe Trainor
