Breeders' Cup Mile (G1) Champion Artie Schiller is one of the industry’s rising stars.
The only Breeders’ Cup Champion by the extraordinary sire of sires El Prado, he was selected by Bill Oppenheim as one of just two stallions in his siring crop as a "Value Sire" for 2012. His accomplishments include:
- Ten stakes winners in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
- A Preakness (G1) and Breeders’ Cup (G1) contender from his first crop
- The #1 Beyer at a mile on turf in 2012 - Mr. Commons' triple from the Arcadia (G2)
- Thirteen major stakes horses, five SWs, over $4,200,000 in North America and Europe from his first two crops
- Sire of Graded SWs in 1:33 2/5 and 1:33 3/5; sire of a $155,000-added SW in 1:21 4/5
- Ten major stakes horses in 2011, six $100,000 and above
- Winners on dirt, turf, and synthetic, from 4 1/2 furlongs to 1 1/8 miles
At the races, Artie Schiller was a six-time Graded stakes winner of $2 million, who won a power-packed edition of the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1). His sire, El Prado, has produced some of the industry’s most desirable young stallions, including Medaglia d’Oro and Kitten’s Joy.
Young progeny by Artie Schiller have sold for six figures as yearlings and as two-year-olds, and buyers include some of the industry’s leading operations, including Mr. & Mrs. J.S. Moss, Reynolds Bell Bloodstock, Toby Keith, BBA Ireland, Bourbon Lane Stable, Marette Farrell, M&H, Baccari Bloodstock, and Jeff Bonde. And at the 2011 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale, he was covering sire on mares who sold for $340,000 and $225,000. A striking, imposing individual, Artie Schiller was bred to more than 220 mares in 2010/2011.
