Alan analyzes first-crop sires of 2-year-olds represented at the Keeneland April sale in a featured article in The Blood-Horse Data Digest (preview below). If you'd like to follow along in the Keeneland catalog while reading, it's available here.
Coming into the Keeneland April 2-year-olds in training sale, TrueNicks turns its eye on the freshman sire class of 2008. Below are notes on all hips by freshman sires that rate B+ or higher.
Graded stakes-winning sprinter Canadian Frontier (Gone West - Borodislew, by Seattle Slew) will be hoping to enhance his sire's considerable reputation as a sire of sires. He has an A+ rated daughter in Hip 10, a filly out of the Desert Wine mare Desert Victress. She is rated on the basis of the Gone West/Desert Wine cross that has also produced grade I winners Maryfield and Celtic Melody. She is half sister to graded winner Desert Digger (by Mining, who is from the same Mr. Prospector line as Canadian Frontier). The dam is half sister to four stakes winners, including the multiple graded winning sprinter Explicit.
One of horses who looks sure to be in the thick of the fight for the freshman sire race is Lion Heart (Tale of the Cat - Satin Sunrise, by Mr. Leader)... Download the free Data Digest to continue
