Stallions and Broodmares

diomed

Some of you might have noticed I like to look at breeding, pedigrees, and stuff like that.

Here is a list of the stallions who produced many foals and the most progeny from those foals.
I only follow flat racing so NH stallions and broodmares will not be in these lists.
It is just a bit of trivia but may be of interest to some.
The data is only what I have collected and of course is not the full count of everything produced by these horses. It is horses foaled year 1900+.

The first list is almost all stallions (one broodmare) who produced over 2,000 second generation progeny i.e. grandsons and granddaughters.
The second list is the broodmares who produced most grandsons and grandaughters.
(note that Fairy Bridge would top that list but she is in the first list at 2,543).

I said

You can see the way breeding has changed through the years the syndicated type breeding(40-45 mares a season)to the 150+ mares bred a season now.
