As it is now nearly 20 years since the magnificent Alydar met his horrific death at Calumet, we cannot expect to see him cropping up as the broodmare sire of many more Grade I winners of the calibre of Gio Ponti. This champion turf horse recently repeated his 2009 victory in the Man O= War S. and this welcome return to the winner=s circle has pushed the Tale of the Cat horse=s earnings past the $4-million mark. With his youngest daughters already 19 years old, the number of active producers among Alydar=s 320 broodmare daughters must be dwindling fast, so we are nearing the end of a very productive era. Alydar is the broodmare sire of 156 stakes winners, from a total of 2,371 named foals out of his daughters, with nearly 70 of them scoring at group/graded level. The celebrity-packed list of Grade I winners out of Alydar mares features the likes of Lure (two editions of the Breeders= Cup Mile), Cat Thief (Breeders= Cup Classic), Ajina (Breeders= Cup Distaff), Anees (Breeders= Cup Juvenile), Peintre Celebre (Prix du Jockey-Club and Arc), Lakeway, A.P. Valentine, November Snow and Amilynx. Success on this scale in the role of broodmare sire certainly wasn=t unexpected. Alydar, after all, had always been renowned as an outstanding sire of fillies, almost from the word go. His first crop (which incidentally numbered only 35 named foals) was headed by Miss Oceana and Althea. While Miss Oceana was given the honor of topping the fillies= section of the Experimental Free Handicap, it was Althea who took the Eclipse Award. Two of the fillies in his second crop, Alydar=s Best and Endear, also became Grade I winners and it was a similar story with Alydar=s third crop, which produced I=m Sweets and Clabber Girl. Caulfield cont. www.coolmore.com By the end of his career, the number of Grade I- I don=t have an accurate total of foals sired by winning daughters by Alydar had risen to 11--a total Alydar=s sons but it is safe to say that they have sired which tended to confirm Alydar=s reputation for being a at least twice the number of foals--2,371--credited to Afilly sire.@ However, such a description was more than his daughters. Despite having at least twice the a little unfair, ignoring the fact that Alydar was also numbers, their number of graded winners falls well responsible for two sons--Alysheba and Criminal Type-- short of the total achieved by Alydar=s broodmare who achieved Horse of the Year honors, for another daughters. son--Easy Goer--who took the title of champion It is hard to think of a logical reason for this two-year-old male and for yet another son--Turkoman-- difference between Alydar=s sons and daughters, who was voted champion older horse. especially when there is no such divergence between These champions also had a strong male supporting the sons and daughters of the similarly bred Mr. cast, which included Strike the Gold, who followed Prospector.

Most of Alydar=s Cacoethes. best sons inherited a large measure of the stamina At this stage it is worth reminding you that Alydar=s which so nearly enabled Alydar to beat his nemesis pedigree bore some distinct similarities to that of Mr. Affirmed in the 1978 Belmont S.

Both these sons of Raise a Native were out Type, Strike the Gold, Easy Goer, Dare And Go and of talented granddaughters of Nasrullah and both had Cacoethes all gained at least one of their Grade I some Bull Dog blood. Mr. Prospector, of course, has victories over a mile and a quarter or more. The rival proved a phenomenal sire of sires, while simultaneously Mr. Prospector clan generally possessed more of their establishing himself as an extraordinary broodmare sire. sire=s speed. Alydar, on the other hand, has left a legacy based, to Disappointing though Alydar=s sons have been as a considerable extent, on his broodmare daughters.

Sadly it wasn=t to be. GIO PONTI, h, 2005 Turkoman proved much less effective as a stallion than Northern Dancer Storm Bird as a racehorse, even though he sired Grade I winners in South Ocean Storm Cat Man From Wicklow and Turk Passer. Criminal Type, Secretariat Terlingua who got caught up in Calumet=s problems, was soon Crimson Saint Tale of the Cat sold to Japan, leaving Grade II and Grade III winners Raise A Native Mr. Prospector behind; and Saratoga Six sired only one Grade I winner Gold Digger Yarn (Toga Toga Toga) during a long career.

Among them were the Grade I winners My Flag, Furlough and Will=s Way, but it could be argued that he should have done even better with the exceptional support he received..

  • Bill Oppenheim, Dec
    Bill Oppenheim, Dec. 16, 2009–Roll The Dice FROM THE DESK OF... Bill Oppenheim ROLL THE DICE Predictability. Well, who wouldn=t like a crystal ball? Mine might be slightly less clouded than others, but anybody who tells you they can predict which sires are going to be successful, and which aren=t, is deluding somebody. There=s a long history of can=t-miss stallion prospects who ended up on foreign shores, and equally a distinguished roll-call of relative nobodies (Distorted Humor, Pivotal) who=ve become household names in the breeding world. Write it down a 100 times: what they do on the racetrack isn=t necessarily what they=re going to do as a sire. In recent years, stallions that were unproven when the horses were bred have sired more than their share of good horses in their first or second crops. It wasn=t just a sales ploy, though for a while there you had a better chance of making money by using first-year sires regardless of whether they ended up good, bad, or indifferent. Rather the opposite is the case during recessionary times--breeders tend to fall back on the proven commodities, and the unproven sire becomes a more difficult sell. You can particularly see this when, as now, the prices on proven sires have fallen so much. Thus, I have knocked out from consideration as When you have legitimately good stallions standing for >value= unproven sires five horses who stand for more $7,500 and $10,000, the unproven horse at that and than $40,000: F2008 Bernardini ($60,000 first all higher prices has to offer something really special to two-year-olds 2010); F2009 Street Sense ($50,000); attract those breeders who were fighting over them and F2010 Curlin ($60,000) and Big Brown ($55,000)-- two years ago.
