Nobody loves J BE K

This second year sire started at Gainesway for $10,000. Next stop was Florida $3,00 LF, then Arkansas, then Argentina. All this before his foals hit the track. This year he has 20 starters with 16 of them winners, and today he has a runner in both the Kings Bishop (GR I) and the Test S (Gr I)!!

Hard to love that huh. The year in Arkansas seems his best fertility wise if the reported numbers are true; of course it was with a microbook to start with.

I take those numbers with a grain of salt. Easy to make a stallions fertility look better than it is. All they have to do is not report mares that didnt get in foal. Who knows, he may have bred twice that many.
