Current Top Performers Worldwide
What's This?
Up to 10 runners are listed for each sire. Runners represent the stallion’s top
performers for the year and are displayed according to a hierarchy that gives first
preference to the date, graded stakes, stakes, and then non-stakes races. These
are sorted by best performance. Older results will remain listed if no new performances
occur to replace them. At the beginning of a new year, this section will display
the top performers for the previous year through March 31 but a preference is given
to current year runners. Each horse listed is linked to additional information including
pedigree, sale history, race chart (with video and recap when available). Race data
include distance in furlongs; final time of race; and track code. Information is
updated daily and reflects official results as recorded by The Jockey Club Information
Services.
