DRF has a poll -- Bernardini is still most popular

[Calzone Lord]

Meanwhile, among the most surprising of this years obscure first-crop sires is the relative pile of crap racehorse Frost Giant (who raced for Dutrow Jr.)

He's only had 14 starters -- but they've combined to win 16 of 46 races for a dazzling 35% win percentage.

After their debut, they're 13-for-32 (41% wins) and they've stretched out fine so far, winning 4 of 9 route attempts.

He's based in New York ... two of his 14 horses to race so far have already earned over 175K.

I still think he's quite overpriced at his $7,500 stud fee. He is Frost Giant, afterall... AKA the horse who single handedly ruined the Grade 1 status of the most historic New York stakes race, the Suburban Handicap...probably forever.
