Three European stallions rated among the top 10, including very likely the top stallion from this sire crop, Galileo.

Another Coolmore sire, Mozart (2.88), ranks among the top 10, but this will be his one and only appearance in the APEX fig- ures, as he had only one crop of three-year-olds, last year.

Two More Great Values... I=ve written about a lot of stallions over the past couple of months, but there are two more horses I reckon are very good value for 2007 who haven=t yet had a mention. They are:

Horse Chestnut (Claiborne, $5,000): A four-time Group 1 winner, and eight-for-nine in his native South Africa by the impeccably bred Fort Wood (Sadler=s Wells--Fall Aspen), Horse Chestnut=s one and only start in the U.S. re- sulted in a win in the GIII Broward H., a Donn prep, on the dirt, running a Beyer 110. His oldest foals were five-year-olds of 2006. Through the end of last year, he had an A Runner Index Horse Chestnut of 1.44, was right around aver- claibornefarm.com age for B and C Runners, for a 1.19 ABC Runner Index. Okay, he=s no superstar, but he is an above-average sire, with two- to four-year-old ratings in the 1.20 range. Having covered only 27 mares last year, according to The Jockey Club=s Report of Mares Bred, Claiborne has dropped his fee to $5,000 for this year. I=d call that somewhere between >very attractively priced= and >dirt cheap.=

Taste of Paradise (Crestwood, $6,000): By Conquista- dor Cielo and inbred 4x3 to Bold Ruler from the same female family which produced Kamar and Swain, Taste of Paradise finished his career with a win in the new-look, six-furlong GI Vosburgh in 2005 (Beyer 110), followed by a desper- ately unlucky loss to the $25,000 stallion Silver Train in the GI Breeders= Cup Sprint, running a Beyer 114, which in my book equates to a Timeform 126. I know there=s Taste of Paradise a big discount for sprinters, stallionregister.com but I just think this horse is an unbelievable buy. Pope McLean does an excellent job with his stallions (Petionville, Storm Boot), and this is another I think could be standing around that $15,000 level once they get to the races. I would definitely send a mare to him if I was someone hoping to breed a race- horse. Bill Oppenheim may be contacted at [email protected]. Please cc TDN management at [email protected].

In his second crop, two-year-olds of 2006, he already has the stakes-winning filly Zaylaway, and he also has the very smart Australian graded-stakes winner Real Mak from his first Southern Hemisphere crop.
