A bit of research on Thoroughbred sire-line descent becomes a trip down memory lane as I consult the 1982 Stallion Register.

Rahy becomes a pensioner and with his retirement the Thoroughbred breeding industry loses one more source of diversity. (Plus a quick look at the Nasrullah sire line.)

Kentucky Derby hopeful Desert Party has a re-emerging female family, the world's most prominent racing stable -- and maybe the most important sire at stud today.

This stallion's early AEI ratings put him in with some lofty company. Combine his rare sire line with unusual German bloodline influences on the dam side and this is a stallion whose pedigree is worth a closer review.

Three-year-old champion racehorse Big Brown starts his stud service the same way he began his career at the track -- with feats worthy of headlines. He's booked to some of the best Thoroughbred broodmares in America.

The German racehorse sire line of Monsun already has a foothold in Ireland. Would a Kamsin victory in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic be enough for American breeders to welcome him to a U.S. stud career?
