Producing a racehorse
that will win and generate profits is not always an easy task. It
requires careful planning and good management, and careful
planning begins with sound breeding choices.
Key Ranch stallions have the credentials to sire competitive and
profitable racehorses. They all were stakes-caliber 2yo runners
and/or have produced 2yo stakes horses. They all have competed at
the highest levels of racing. They all were on the track long
enough to prove their soundness and toughness. They all had the
early speed to win at 6 furlongs, and the breeding and stamina to
win at a mile or more. These qualities are important in a
racehorse, and are especially important in a sire.
Our stallions are by
design a very diverse group, both in pedigree and in physique.
Aside from the similarities mentioned above, they are all by sires
of sires, out of female lines consistent with the successful sons
of those sires, and have great physical balance. These
attributes help to establish predictability. Predictable
breeding patterns are invaluable. For the young stallions,
our breeding recommendations are primarily based upon breeding
patterns which have already been established by other, similarly
bred sons of their sires.
The selection of a stallion for any given mare should be based
upon solid reasoning. Proven nicks, inbreeding, and physical
compatibility between the mare and stallion are among the factors
that contribute to a well-constructed breeding scheme.
It is in your and our best interests to achieve a great stallion
match for your mare, which is the first step towards producing a
racehorse that will meet or exceed your expectations.
