BREED LIKE YOU MEAN IT
In 2009, Three Chimneys stallions have already sired 83 stakes horses and earners of well over $17,000,000, led by perennial leading sires like DYNAFORMER and YES IT’S TRUE, as well as top juvenile sires who continue to be successful – namely SKY MESA and EXCHANGE RATE. Rounding out the roster are exciting young prospects like FLOWER ALLEY, a well-priced stallion who has rewarded breeders with several six-figure yearlings in the sales ring. If you’re serious about breeding a winner or buying one at sale, give serious consideration to the stallions and offspring represented by Three Chimneys.
