Freshman sires
As expected Roman Ruler is the current leader by Earnings. He's a well bred Fu Peg who ran Beyers of 103 and 106 at Del Mar as a 2yo despite slow starts both times. He had a large quantity of 2yos. Connie and Michael might be his best going forward.
There are four current freshman sires who have both 10 winners and a winner-to-starter ratio of 50% or better. They are ... * The dead Proud Accolade (14 winners from 26 starters - 2nd to Roman Ruler in earnings) * Wildcat Heir (26 winners from 47 starters - 6th in earnings) * Offlee Wild (13 winners from 26 starters - 7th in earnings) * Oratory (10 winners from 18 starters - 28th in earnings) Afleet Alex has had just 10 winners from 46 starters. That only looks good when you compare it to his full bro Unforgettable Max - who's had 17 starters without a single winner. Ghostzapper has had just 5 winners from 17 starters. The dead Saint Liam has had just 9 winners from 39 starters. Among the no-names making strong showings from tiny samplings.... * Hear No Evil has 3 winners from 7 starters - including 4 time stakes winner Jackson Bend. * Dark Kestrel has 2 winners from 2 starters. One of them is a $1,500 yearling who won his debut big at PID with a 79 Beyer - and was beaten just 3 lengths in a stake race by next out Grade 1 winner Noble's Promise in his only other start. The other Dark Kestrel winner broke its maiden at Del Mar in a MCL race. Hear No Evil was a very nice Calder 2yo. Dark Kestrel had a fast work at a 2yo sale .. but was a terrible race horse. He made only 2 lifetime starts, and was out of the money in a 15K claimer in his 2nd start. Never ran a Beyer higher than 56.

A fellow IC freshman sire Eugene's Third Son has had 2 winners from just 3 starters. I know that was a horse that the poster IC was a rabid fan of.

I wouldn't quite say rabid, but yeah, I thought that was a very nice horse. Can you say more about those runners ETS has had so far?
Dark Kestrel is a very interesting horse. He was a 145k RNA by Stormy Atlantic that went on to have a great 2 race career. He won his debut at ELP then came back a few months later and ran like crap in a 15k claimer at LaD! He stands stud at the University of Florida Equine Reproduction Center, or something like that.

the one-eyed Pollard's Vision for 5K probably turned out to be the best value so far stats wise. 4 different stakes winners from 34 runners and 3rd in earnings.

Dark Kestrel's 3rd offspring to hit the track - Key to Brooklyn - is 3/1 on the morning line in a 34K MSW race for 2yo's at Penn National tonight.
The 5/2 morning line favorite in the race is a Todd Beattie trained debuter by Medagalia D'oro. That one is a half sibling to 6 time stakes winner - and two-time Salvator Mile winner Presidential Affair.
