Millionaire Eclipse Champion Speightstown has charged onto the Thoroughbred scene with guns blazing.

At the races, the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) champion swept 10 of his 16 starts at six and seven furlongs, posting a track record performance at Saratoga (1:08.04) and a 0 Rag# at Belmont (1:08.04). As a sire, he is firing bullets:

• 30 SWs, 56 stakes horses, $25,900,000 from his first four crops
• 14 SWs, two millionaires, from his first crop; a 2011 Champion in his second crop
• #1 Active Sire worldwide by A-Runner Index for the past two years
• 2012: America's #4 Sire - 14 SHs, 6 SWs, $2,965,000
• 2011: America's #7 Sire - 14 SWs, 19 stakes wins, 28 SHs, $7,195,606, including 6f NTR-Setter (1:08.16) and 5f NTR-Setter (:57.30)
• 2011:  America's #2 sire of juvenile SWs (4) - 19 winners, 8 SHs, $937,000 in Europe and North America
• Grade/Group 1 winners on dirt and turf - Haynesfield (Jockey Club Gold Cup-G1), Lord Shanakill (Prix Jean Prat-G1), Mona de Momma (Humana Distaff S.-G1)

Speightstown has ranked among the top five stallions in his siring crop every season, and was selected as one of Bill Oppenheim's "Good Value Sires" for both 2011 and 2012.

Speightstown has been a commercial success from the start, and his weanlings, yearlings, and two-year-olds are all averaging six figures. In 2011, 33 of his progeny brought six figures, in both North America and Europe. And in 2012, his two-year-olds in training have brought $560,000 in the U.S. and $358,290 in Europe.
