Journalism was just the latest jewel in Hill 'n' Dale Farms Curlin's classics crown in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday. The stallion may not yet have a Kentucky Derby winner, but he's far from unsuccessful as a Triple Crown race sire.

Field of Gold made an already successful cross look even better on Saturday with his G1 Irish 2,000 Guineas victory over fellow Kingman runner Cosmic Year. Shamardal mares cross well with Kingman, striking at 77.3% winners to runners & 27.27% stakes horse to runners.

Justify has had a crazy amount of international success over the past month. Ruling Court's 2000 Guineas win on May 3 kicked off a spell that has seen him sire 6 stakes winners in 5 different countries with 11 SH - incl. 3 SW in 3 countries in the past 5 days. Coolmore America

One day in the future someone is going to be looking at the 2025 Kentucky Derby and Belmont charts and think they accidentally pulled up the same chart twice with the top three horses being exactly the same (minus margins).

Puca didn't get her third classic winner, but can we talk about how amazing that mare is? Her second foal is a Derby winner, her third is a Belmont winner, and her fourth finished third in both those races. The first wasn't a slouch either ... she placed in multiple stakes.

It was another excellent weekend for Coolmore's late sire-of-sires Galileo. Not only did he sire a G1 winner on Friday, but saw sons sire G1 winners in two different countries as well as his daughters and a son of his daughters making G1 impacts.

First, A.P. Indy dominated the Triple Crown trail. Now he's dominating the U.S. juvenile sire rankings. Rathbarry & Glenview also said goodbye to Acclamation just a few months ago, but the stallion's influence is still being strongly felt in European 2YO races this Spring.

Wootton Bassett's success continued this weekend when both his 2YOs & 3YOs put on a big show. Three of his 4 SH were out of Galileo mares with two of those Galileo mares out of Danehill granddaughters. The lone non-Galileo SH (Beautify) was out of a Dansili (Danehill son) mare.

What a mare Tepin was. A champion on the track and two G1 winners from two to race as a broodmare before passing in 2023. She followed in the footsteps of her dam Life Happened, who also produced MG2W/MG1P Vyjack and MGSP Prime Cut (a full brother to Tepin) from her five winners.

It's another year of Uncle Mo making a major impact on the sire rankings as a sire-of-sires. Yaupon and Modernist have the two most winners of all the freshmen while Nyquist and Mo Town are also making a splash as some of his older representatives in the stallion ranks.

Into Mischief and Gun Runner have long been among the top of the list when it comes to North American sires at the sales - as seen at the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale. But over the last few days, the New York-Bred Sale showed that horses by their sons are also high in demand.

Medaglia d'Oro 🤝 Street Sense Whether it's Medaglia d'Oro bred to a Street Sense mare or Street Sense bred to a Medaglia d'Oro mare, the stallions complement each other well. In fact, of Medaglia d'Oro's 5 SH as a sire/broodmare sire this weekend, 3 are bred on the cross.
