GRAYDAR OXBOW We have enjoyed tremendous success in standing/managing stallions over the last 20 years. KRIS S. SAINT BALLADO UNBRIDLED’S SONG 2 Dear Breeder, Taylor Made is a family owned and operated farm built on honesty, long-lasting relationships and horsemanship. Taylor Made Stallions’ mode of operation has always been – and remains – to focus on standing quality stallions that provide breeders great opportunities, whether they are breeding to race or sell. 2013 was a bounce-back year for commercial breeders, including a GSVRIVXYVRMRK/IIRIPERH7ITXIQFIVWEPIXLEXWE[KEMRWEGVSWWXLIFSEVHLMKLPMKLXIHF]WIZIR½KYVI]IEVPMRKWERHFSEWXMRK the third highest average of all time.

Last year also marked a bittersweet landmark for one of the great sires of our time. While reaching 17 Grade 1 winners over his historic career in 2013, Unbridled’s Song passed away at the age of 20. Every person at Taylor Made has been touched by this amazing animal over the years. He leaves a lasting legacy that will never be forgotten across the industry he served so well. And yet there is much to look forward to in 2014. The legacy continues with our newest stallion, Graydar, the Grade 1-winning son of Unbridled’s Song. One of the most stunning physicals to come to the breeding shed in years, Graydar had a brilliant VEGIGEVIIVMRGPYHMRKEGSQQERHMRKZMGXSV]MRXLI(SRR,ERHMGET + EX+YPJWXVIEQ4EVO;IEVIGSR½HIRXLI[MPPFI a favorite among breeders as Taylor Made Stallions adds another chapter to its storied tradition.

Running 13 races in less than a calendar year, Oxbow is a “throwback to another era” according to the Blood-Horse’s Steve Haskin. He is clearly a stallion to be reckoned with in the near future. 2SVXLIVR%¾IIXERH*SVIWXV]FSXLIRNS]IHTVSHYGXMZI]IEVWEKEMRMREWXLI]GSRXMRYIXSTVSZIXSFIX[SSJXLIKVIEXIWX ZEPYIWEXWXYHSRERERRYEPFEWMW2SVXLIVR%¾IIXWLS[IHLMWGSRXMRYIHMRXIVREXMSREPETTIEP[MXLERI[+VEHI[MRRIVMR Baccelo, Sunshine Millions winner Teaks North (G1), and several high-priced progeny through the auction ring.

Leading all freshman sires in Book One at Keeneland September with a $215,833 average, Eskendereya’s yearlings topped out at a $540,000 colt purchased by Stonestreet Stables. His yearling average of $127,755 (45 sold) was good for second highest among freshman sires in 2013. With great books on the way – including the dams of Beholder (G1) and Trinniberg (G1) – for this impeccably bred son of Giant’s Causeway, we have much to look forward to when his first two-year-olds hit the track in 2014. Old Fashioned also made big headlines this year in the auction ring. With juveniles selling for $500,000 (My Meadowview), $340,000 (Simon Callaghan), and $300,000 (Steve Young), Old Fashioned built on his success from last year as the third leading freshman two-year-old sire in North America with an average of $104,658. His success has not been limited to the sales ring, with top runners like G2-placed Sweet Whiskey and stakes winner Hi Fashioned from his first crop of 2-year-olds in 2013. Old Fashioned presents a tremendous opportunity at an $8,000 stud fee.
