gotcha...I wouldn't worry about losing him just yet sample is too small IMO...but if he keeps it up maybe...who knows

IMO none of the top Polytrack sires were on that list. IMO some of the top sires are: Grand Slam, Running Stag, Petionville & Sea of Secrets.

[sumitas]

GRAND SLAM 19% wins from 146 starts 28 wins --66 runners--itm 43%
RUNNING STAG 19% wins from 93 starts--32 runners--itm 34%
PETIONVILLE 11% wins from 79 starts--37 runners--itm 30%
SEA OF SECRETS 8% wins from 59 starts--23 runners--itm 27%

most starts 197 BOLD EXECUTIVE 14% wins --61 runners--itm 39%
most runners 67 TALE OF THE CAT 81 starts 18% wins--itm 45%

COZZENE is one of my favs 27% wins from 26 starts---16 runners--itm 46%
TOUR D'OR 29% wins from 24 starts--6 runners--itm 50%

But what about the ROIs? Petitionville has already had two $120 plus winners.

Tale of the Cat is another good one. Most of the Storm Cat line seem to take to it.

Do you have numbers on Pioneering, Storm Cat's 1/2 bro?

[sumitas]

PIONEERING 7% winners from 73 starts--33 runners--itm 33%

the AP Indys are getting off slow although AP INDY himself is 40% itm; the best is STEPHEN GOT EVEN 17% wins 75 starts--30 runners--itm 35%

DEPUTY MINISTERS are off slow topped by WILLOWY AMBASSADOR 20% wins from 25 starts--4 runners--itm 36%
and FOREST CAMP 16% winners from 51 starts--28 runners--itm 31%
and DEPUTY COMMANDER 14% wins from 96 starts--39 runners-itm 43%

SKIP AWAY gets a lot of poly ink 19% wins 113 starts--35 runners--44% itm

MY favorite I always look for his on the poly.

For what it's worth Military had the highest average winning purse of any KY sire at Turfway in 05-06.

Good point about AP Indy runners not handling it. And he seems to have transferred this Poly disdain to his son Pulpit.

Its such a weird time for breeders. You hate to jump to conclusions with such small sample sizes, yet if you breed this spring, your foal wont be racing until 2010 at the earliest and where does that leave you?

Storm and a Half is interesting. That family produces top-notch fillies without much noise from the colts. Interesting results so far with him.
