The Sire Stakes series will continue on Sept. 2 and
conclude on Sept. 30.
The
series is sponsored by the Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ and Owners’
Association and is open to sons and daughters of Florida-registered stallions
whose owners have nominated them for the program.
You forgot to mention a very nicely bred son of Kantharos named Majestic Secret as a potential starter? He actually has beat Dunk on 2 occasions and you should really go take a look at his pedigree as he comes from an outstanding female family!
