The running of the Jockey Club Gold Cup G1 last week highlighted the achievement of the young stallion Birdstone who has sired two Classic winners in his first crop. Summer Bird won the Belmont Stakes G1 before adding the Travers Stakes G1 and the recent Jockey Club Gold CupG1. This is in addition to Kentucky Derby G1 winner Mine That Bird. the only question now will be id he can replicate this success when he is mated with higher quality mares. We should know next year.
Here are last weeks major stakes winners with their racing indexes and their dams racing indexes. I keep a record of all of the dams of G1 and G2 winners and their respective dams and broodmare sires anyone interested in receiving this list can e-mail me at floydoliver@sbcglobal.net and I will email you a copy.
One last thought. Remember in my blog on 9/13/09 entitled Summer Bird Takes Travers Stakes I said it would be very unlikely that Mi Sueno would win the Breeders cup Juvenile Fillies becuase her dam has such a high racing index. Mi Sueno was injured and retired. However, she is out of a daughter of Hennessy as is Careless Jewel winner of the Cotillion. Hennessy is proving his daughters can produce very high indexed runners in the championship class. Also note both of these runners, Careless jewel and Mi Sueno were produced when their dams were crossed with the Pulpit male line
