He won their Breeder's Cup Juvenile as a two year old and at four he won a G1 1000 meter sprint in 54.33 seconds (3/10 second slower than the world record for 1000 meters). He won going long and short, on turf and dirt. He was on the board in nine graded stakes. His half sister, Randy Cat, was two year old champion filly in Argentina. He has an incredible temperament, which he throws, and is a very beautiful well balanced horse. He has the "motor behind" AND the "motor in front" -- absolutely fantastic hip and shoulder.
His first year was slow, I have his ENTIRE first crop (five foals). They are two year olds now and we are just getting them started in training. He picked up more mares the second year, he had a much bigger year in 2007, and 2008 is shaping up pretty well considering I broke my leg in March and have not been nearly so active in recruiting mares for him. He had 24 in '07 and will probably end up with 25 or so in '08. People love his foals, and he gets quite a few return mares.

And Sir Juli Go, who was represented in the eventing world in the young horse series this year:
While we will stand each to outside mares, given the quantity of stallions who moved to PA & the quantity of PA mare owners who still prefer to breed to KY sires, it made sense to commit our money to buying mares who match Mountain Top, rather than advertising & hoping for the right mares' owners to find him while he is still a new regional sire:
This is his very small first crop. We're pleased [and a little sorry I'm not a better photographer]:
Filly out of Compelling Song, whose half-brother Jump for Joyeux set all-weather & turf sprint records in 2006 & 2007, one at Turfway & the other at Mountaineer:
Colt out of Nadine's Cape, by Cape Town, from the family of late FL sire, Tour d'Or:
Filly out of Saratoga Sass by Northern Ice, from the family of Vosburgh-winning sprinter, Fabulous Strike [we couldn't get her to stop running long enough for a still shot!]:

I will be breeding mostly for Sporthorses, I had planned on breeding my TB mare, "Camp River" but she passed away so I'll be in the market for a TB mare.

I am the proud owner of Gone Fishin graded stakes winner of $490,551.00
He stands in Ontario, Canada. In a regional market. He did about the same as last year. We find it quite hard to compete in the market with the bigger farms. People really like to go to them even if the stallions are of lesser quality. IMHO. His first crop of foals are gorgeous and we are really looking forward to them racing. Some are headed to the sales. I personally would like to keep a couple to race myself. They are the spiting image of the sire. so with his conformation how can I go wrong? lol.

He is tail female to Papila and I would like to add some Crimson Satan blood (such as Storm Cat and his sons and also Peaks and Valleys)to the mix and see how that works. Also would love to try some Too Bald blood(Exceller, Baldski,American Standard) or some Hidden Talent blood(Broad Brush/Hay Halo).
aardvark wrote:Nice plan for Mountain Top. Thought I was looking at Fury there for a second. I am surprised that there aren't a few PA mare owners that woulnt be interested in him.
