Underused Sires - 2nd Edition - Active Duty


Underused Sires – Second Edition

In looking for a stallion for my sprinter mares there are several stallions that get a lot of interest.  Run Missy Run, Deux Francais, Parisian Sheikh and Reining Money seem to get their fair share of broodmares.  So I started searching for a stallion that shows promise and has a significant amount of availability. 

I my search, I found a sprinting stallion that could run on everything but a rainy day.  Active Duty prefers Hard Dirt, Soft Dirt, Hard Turf and Soft Turf.  He is poor in mud though.  

Active Duty was bred and is owned by Snowbank Farms.

Active Duty is the only foal from the list stallion General Nediym.  Active Duty is out of the broodmare Diabla.  Diabla has 8 foals of racing age, 3 have become millionaires.  Diabla is the 2nd oldest foal out of the great broodmare Demoness.  Demoness has 13 foals of racing age, 7 that have earned a million or more.  Regal Son with over 33 million in earnings is her best earning offspring. 

Active Duty won 13 races during his career.  He won 1 Grade 1 and 7 Grade 2 races.  He cashed checks of $100,000 or more 11 times during his career.  He won races from 5.5 to 7 furlongs.  He posted PSR’s of 110 and higher 12 times in his racing career.

This season will be his 3rd season at stud.  In his first 2 years he has only seen 2 mares in his first breeding season and 5 in his second season. 


He is currently being advertised on the forum for a $10,000 stud fee.  At this writing he has plenty of availability.  Only 3 spots are currently reserved.

A very fast horse who never seemed able to compete at GR1 races. If I had any sprinting broodmares, I would give him a shot.

He has comparable stats to Deux Francais, so would be a good alternative when DF is booked.
