Look no further than the Belmont Stakes for an American G.1 race that produces top sires:

MEDAGLIA D'ORO (2ND)

A.P. INDY (1ST)

LEMON DROP KID (1ST)

BIRDSTONE (1ST)

SMARTY JONES (2ND)- potentially

Milers are becoming the norm. I prefer to see more distance and stamina brought back as a virtue in breeding. We are in the process of losing these.

Cape Cross was a miler and Ouija Board and Sea the Stars weren't the worst foals born in their respective years. He's worth checking out.

I fully agree with Mr. Jones. Just look at the success Airdrie has had with their young stallions (Indian Charlie, Proud Citizen, Harlan's Holiday). I think top-notch milers pass can pass along speed and stamina to their offspring. I especially look forward to seeing the runners Divine Park throws in the years to come. He was a top miler and a son of the late, great Chester House.
