"After being in the harness racing industry for twenty five years, I find that statement to be very accurate, with very few exceptions. MY BILL FORWOOD raced until he was eight years old and won over $800,000. beating the best horses in the country, with no big stakes included except the Levy Final of $156,000. He has been the best stallion standing in Maine since he arrived at the breeding shed ten years ago. He leads in every conceivable statistic... • Fastest - Webster's Pride p. 1:53.3 • Highest earnings of offspring Over $1,000,000. in Maine • Highest percentage of Stakes winners etc. Like the Sire...his offspring excel on the half mile track. Do you know of any other size track in Maine? Aren't you breeding for the Maine Stakes? Many stallions have come and gone in Maine, but MY BILL FORWOOD continues to dominate. Can you really afford to gamble on a second-rate stallion or an unproven stallion? MY BILL FORWOOD is an outcross sire. If you have a well-bred mare send her to this prepotent stallion and you can expect excitement in the Maine Sire Stakes. MY BILL FORWOOD appears to be improving with age...he had five of the eight Filly Finalists in last year’s Stakes!
