BARGAIN BRED RACING SERIES & BREEDING CORNER

Empire Maker is by Unbridled. His dam sire is El Gran Senor and his dam’s dam is In Reality. Empire Maker only started eight times with four wins three seconds and one third. He is a grade I winner out of a grade I winning sire and a grade I winning dam. He is a half brother to three other grade I winners. He did win the Florida Derby the Wood Memorial and the Belmont.

Empire Maker’s pedigree already comes equipped with a Mr. Prospector X Northern Dancer cross. As a matter of fact where Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer are in Empire Maker’s Pedigree sets up well for simmers who like 4 X 4 inbreeding. Seattle Slew or Secretariat seems great choices as dam sire. The Turn-To line and the Ribot line should both work well with Empire Maker.

With Empire Maker having a good deal of stamina I would imagine his runners might be late developers. He has had ten runners to date the fastest of which was a 70-speed figure. There are four others over 60 and the rest ran between 51 and 47. There was a good variety of Northern Dancer line dams with Mr. Prospector line dams, a couple of Seattle Slew dams and one Secretariat dam.
