At stud, he is the sire of back-to-back Futurity Mexicano (MEX-I) winners: Capotazo (2009) and Xanadu (2010). Xanadu also captured the Clasico Gaspar Rivera Torres (MEX-I).

His first foals are three-year-olds of 2011.
Multiple graded stakes-placed Free Thinking (TrueNicks,SRO) is an Unbridled half brother to four-time graded winner Bedanken.
