SKIP BY NIGHT p. 2,1:59.1 - 3,1:57 - 5, l:55.3h $514,132. Former Half-Mile Track World Champion (Meadow Skipper 3,1:55.1 - Anita Knight - Knight Dream 3,1:59) From only 148 starters, competing mostly on New York's tough half-mile circuits, SKIP BY NIGHT has sired 7 in 1:55,53 in 2:00,100 in 2:05...with compiled earnings of $5,818,632. averaging an incredible $39,750; per horse. He also has six 2:00 2 yr. olds. His Lorryland Butler is presently racing at the Meadowlands with earnings to date of $850,144 as a 10 yr.old. In 1994, he set the track record of 1:55.4 at Bangor Raceway. Maine Breeders were quick to realize that SKIP BY NIGHT was not only the fastest and the richest son of the immortal Meadow Skipper to ever stand in Maine, but he was also the most productive. Pertinent to this, the following excerpt was taken from an issue of Hoofbeats, Pedigree's and Performances ..."Over a three year period 153 out of 157,1:56 two year olds had at least one dose of Meadow Skipper blood, and several had two or three. Accordingly, we conclude that (1) you virtually must have some of this blood, and (2) it actually appears that you can't have too much!"
SKIP BY NIGHT is already the sire of such standouts as: Lorryland Butler p.l:50.1m $847,984. BJ's Encore p.l:55.3h $119,346. Piks By Day p.l:54.4h $322,899. Mookie's Pookie p.l:53.1 $112,715. Amelia Airheart p.l:56.1h $291,345. BJ's Lad p.l:56.1h $270,598. HizorAmos p.l:54.1h $247,533. Katie Lefleur p.l:54.4m $230,806. Lord Bertram p.l:53.2f $192,881. Love To Skip p.l:55.4m $161,332. Nightly Promise p.l:57.2h $153,650. Lorryland Bret p. 1:57.1m $145,064. Jimmy Dean's Girl p.l:56f $105,839. Upper Echelon p.l:59.3h $ 99,538.
It is obvious that SKIP BY NIGHT offers an excellent opportunity to race very competitively outside Maine after the Stakes are over. No wonder that he has bred more mares than any other stallion in Maine during the past four years. He has been successful as both an outstanding fdly sire and a fast colt producer.
