Dialed In - top freshman sire 2016

Did anyone predict he would lead the pack? He wasn't on my radar, being by Mineshaft, I figured they'd be late developers. Nice to see a farm like Darby Dan get a leading sire again.
Union Rags was 2nd on the list, and Bodemeister 3rd.

Not me, but given the sire power in the pedigree and the gdam, not that surprising.

Certainly. The female family continues to produce good stakes horses.
Storm Cat continues to make his mark, as a sire of sire and sire of sire of sires, and as a broodmare sire.
