River Edge is home to three of the top 13 stallions in the Golden State.
With grade I winners like Brother Derek, Idiot Proof and Silent Sighs, Benchmark (TrueNicks,SRO) has emerged as the best sire son of the great Alydar. Currently third on the California sire rankings, he's got seven stakes winners in 2009, including the graded winner Grazen.
Idiot Proof and Silent Sighs are out of daughters of Benchmark's barnmate Bertrando (TrueNicks,SRO). The multiple grade I winner has long been one of the top stallions based outside of Kentucky, siring runners like Officer, Unfurl the Flag and Bilo. All three are grade I winners and are among Bertrando's 50 lifetime stakes winners.
Tribal Rule (TrueNicks,SRO)
is an emerging as an important sire. He's been the leading first, second and third crop sire in California and is siring stakes winners at an impressive 7% clip. Among his top runners is grade I winner Georgie Boy.
Dixie Chatter (TrueNicks,SRO) is the newest addition to the River Edge roster and is the first major son of Dixie Union to stud. He defeated Georgie Boy in his maiden score before going on to capture the Norfolk S. (gr. I) at 2. He earned blacktype six more times at 3 and 4, including a handy score in the Arcadia H. (gr. II) on the turf.
