Name: Valiant
Link To Page: ClickySire: Gallant Knight (News Flash x Gallant Queen)
Dam: Battle Wings (BHOF Akuma Battlecry x Silent Wings)
Notable Siblings Through Sire: Not yet of racing age.
Notable Siblings Through Dam: Not yet of racing age.
Pedigree Comments: Gallant Knight's half brother is HOFer Flashy Wings. Gallant Knight wasn't able to really race his juvenile and classic years, and he had two great undercard seasons under me. If he'd had more time I think he could have broken much more into the HOTY ranks, much as his sire did at the end of his career. Battle Wings is the stronger raced, with victories in a Breeders Cup, the Acorn Stakes, the Coaching Club American Oaks, the Cigar Red Mile, and more. Her grade one dam Silent Wings was foaled by BHOF Forbidden Wings, who won the Breeder's Distaff and also foaled Pegasus Wings, HOF Flashy Wings, and Taboo. BHOF Akuma Battlecry is out of BHOF Admiral's Revenge, who is out of BHOF War Admiral and BHOF Rosalind. Valiant's lineage links into some strong classic racers, and although his dam and sire are just beginning their breeding careers I think Valiant deserves a look for this category.
Name: My Secretariat
Link To Page: HereSire: The Underdog (BHoF War Admiral x Stormwing)
Dam: Dark Sunrise (HoF/BHoF True Enough x BHoF Queen of Hearts)
Notable Siblings Through Sire: Breaking Point, Dogma, Gallant Pup, Viva Fever, Bonsaia
Notable Siblings Through Dam: All That Jazz, In My Remains
Pedigree Comments: My Secretariat comes from two very powerful bloodlines with pure attitude and a great deposition. His sire raced over international racetracks before coming to the states and finishing off his career at the near end of his 4 year old season. The Underdog unfortunately retired due to his ruthless behavior and an injury that caused the stallion to call it quits and enter into the Stud program where he sired Breaking Point who won the Y16 MAGIC MILLIONS TURF SPRINT. Dark Sunrise has just about a strong reputation as The Underdog. Dark Sunrise is a Grade One winning mare with wins such as the DUBAI FILLY CUP, BREEDER'S CUP LADIES CLASSIC, ALOT TO LIVE UP TO STAKES, and placed in all three races of the Triple Tiara, she won the hearts of many like many of the True Enough progeny. Dark Sunrise is still shining through the light of her progeny where she is the mother of Winter Cup Grade Three Dirt, Grade One winner All That Jazz, Y15 Best Bred Tournament Canadian Triple Crown Open Winner, Y17 A LOT TO LIVE UP TO STAKES Juvenile Turf* Winner In My Remains. My Secretariat comes from bloodlines that run through both dirt and turf surfaces and some to most distances, I think with his pedigree and relations My Secretariat should deserve a value look over while his brother won a leg of a different race of the Best Bred Tournament Taro surely can prosper here.

Name: Veracious
Link To Page: linkSire: HOF BHOF True Enough (Enough is Enough x True Heart)
Dam: Born to Fly (Created)
Notable Siblings Through Sire: HOF Radiance (out of BHOF On To Dancing),
HOF Euphoria (out of HOF Bank on Silver)
Notable Siblings Through Dam: HOF Born to Soar (by HOF The Natural),
Born to Impress (by Impressario)
Pedigree Comments: Veracious has a pedigree chock-full of Hall of Famers and top-notch racehorses. HOF BHOF True Enough needs no introduction - he is a legend both on and off the tracks, and his offspring are making just as much as of an impression as their sire. HOF Radiance was a powerhouse throughout his career, having won the Y7 BREEDER'S CUP JUVENILE, Y8 BELMONT STAKES, Y8 BREEDER'S CUP MARATHON, and Y9 BREEDER'S CUP CLASSIC, and was named the Y9 Best Dirt Horse. HOF Euphoria won her fair share of major races, including the Y5 BREEDER'S CUP JUVENILE FILLIES, Y6 BREEDER'S CUP DISTAFF, Y6 DUBAI FILLY CUP, and Y7 BANK ON SILVER MEMORIAL STAKES. Born to Fly's record has been lost, aside from the knowledge of her 20 wins during her time on the track. Her foals have carried on her legacy - HOF Born to Soar was a star on both dirt and turf, with wins including the Y9 BREEDER'S CUP JUVENILE FILLIES, Y10 ACORN STAKES, Y10 MOTHER GOOSE STAKES, Y10 COACHING CLUB AMERICAN OAKS, Y10 DUBAI FILLY CUP, Y10 BREEDER'S CUP LADIES CLASSIC, and many others. Born to Impress in another notable Born to Fly foal, with wins in the Y13 KENTUCKY DERBY, Y13 A LOT TO LIVE UP TO STAKES G3+ DIRT, Y13 TRUE ENOUGH MEMORIAL STAKES, and Y14 BORN TO SOAR MEMORIAL STAKES. Veracious' pedigree sets the bar high for her racing career as a classic dirt filly, but we are sure that she can fulfill - and even exceed - our expectations.

Silver Stalker, from a very successful line, has only been lightly bred. Pursuit of War is only her second foal to date, however Radiant Silver has proven her ability to produce; a G1 Stallion, with 11 HOTY Wins to his record. Silver Stalker herself retired as a well-rounded and successful racehorse, with wins such as the Mother Goose Stakes* and Unicorn Horn Dirt*.
