Breed All About It!
endangered horses. We made a se- lection. T en the owner of the stud brought out a little bay colt with a big star, one white foot and the most beautiful, gracious and calm eyes and gave him to me,” she added. T e colt arrived in Maryland with her young stallion Unipol this past Christmas. To read Judith’s account of how Unipol came into her life, visit T e Equiery’s Archives on
equiery.com and click on “Finding Unipol” un- der “Breeding.” Touched by the breed, Judith is also currently
working on an extensive book outlining their history. She has been traveling to and from Rus- sia for her research. “T e Russians have been magnifi cent about giving me ancient books, letters and above all, their own memories and stories,” she commented. Judith hopes to have the book completed by the end of the year and has noted that there is already a publisher in Russia ready to translate it to Russian. Read more about Judith’s travels, her book and the Orlov Trotter in upcoming issues!

Producing High Durability
A study recently was done
on T oroughbred stallions to rank them based on both commercial viability and durability of their off spring. T e study was developed by the Durability Committee of the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summits and was un- derwritten by T e Jockey Club and Grayson- Jockey Club Research Foundation. Two Mary- land sires, Outfl anker and Not For Love, made the top 10 list. T e aim of the study is to highlight stal- lions that are commercially viable and produce progeny statistics that indicate above average
performance (based on the average number of starts per starter and the percentage of foals that make it to races). T e study was limited to stallions that were ranked within the top 200 sires by progeny earnings for the calendar year 2010. According to “Grayson-Jockey Club Re- search Today” newsletter, “T is assures a modi- cum of success and relevance to the commercial breeding and sales market.” Outfl anker, a son of Danzig standing at Sham-
rock Farms in Woodbine, was ranked third on the list having had an average of 20.99 starts per starter. T is is based on 397 foals reaching racing age and progeny earning over $2 million in 2010. Not For
Dr. Kathy Farley with her mare Jess’czica, who won at both Upperville and Devon
Love, by Mr. Prospector and standing at Northview Stallion Sta- tion in Ches- apeake City, was ranked 10th. He had 20.35 starts per starters based on 748 foals reaching
racing age. His progeny however, earned just under $5 million in 2010 alone. Based on the percentage of foals of racing age having starts, Not For Love moves up to the number eight spot while Outfl anker moves down to 21st. Fellow Maryland stallion Louis Quatorze, by Sovereign Dancer and standing at Murmur Farm in Darlington, ranked 10th on this second list.
