Elaine Belval’s post (see below this post) on Scat Daddy was prescient: The Ashford sire had this third consecutive Graded Stakes winner in three weeks this past weekend. At present he currently leads all freshman sires by progeny earnings and Graded Stakes winners, with Darley’s Hard Spun in second place.

But in a strange twist, did you know that three of the leading four first-crop sires—Scat Daddy, Hard Spun, and Hat Trick—have NO stakes winners on dirt? Read my commentary in today’s Thoroughbred Times TODAY newsletter for more on this, by clicking here (see Page 5).
