Freshman Sires 2005

This group of sires included several really good race horses with less than blue blood pedigrees like Smarty Jones, Congaree, Lonhro (AUS), and Peace Rules. Then you had some pretty well bred runners that were pretty good on the track like Medaglia D'Oro, Pleasantly Perfect, Johar, and Speightstown.

Speightstown finished on top at the end of the year but Congaree, Peace Rules, Smarty Jones, and Medaglia D'Oro all had good freshman years. Johar and Pleasantly Perfect probably will produce late bloomers so expect them to catch up to the others as this year goes on.

Over all this class seemed underwhelming when the articles were written but after a year under their belts you can see there was some very good production. The potential for some real standout stallions seems to be likely.
