Here is the first clue to see if you can determine who will be the first underused sire profiled.
He is currently 11 years old.
Need another clue?
He won 14 Grade 1 races in his career.
Still need another clue?
He is currently the #24 overall ranked horse in PFSim history.
Sinking Fear has been at stud for 5 seasons and has yet to have a full book in any season. 11 foals was the most in a season but he has been averaging just a little over 9 foals per season. His career earnings exceeded $12 million in earnings.
Sinking Fear was bred by History’s Own Stable and is currently owned by Olmo Dorato.
Sinking Fear is by Purple Passer out of Classy Lassy. Purple Passer has bred 4 racers with more than $1 million in earnings. Classy Lassy has 10 foals of which 3 went on to win more than $1 million.
Sinking Fear raced only twice as a 2 year old without much success. In his 7th race he picked up his first of 26 career wins. 14 of which were Grade 1 wins at distances of 11 to 13.5 furlongs. In his 49 races he posted psr’s of 100+ 36 times. 13 times his psr’s were 110 or greater.
Sinking Fear’s first crop of foals are currently 4 years old. His first crop resulted in producing 10 foals. Of those 10 foals 3 of them currently have winnings in excess of $1 million.
Sinking Fear has an incredible AR. He prefers Hard Dirt, Soft Dirt, Hard Turf and Soft Turf. His “worst” surface is mud which he is only rated “good”. Pretty tough to find a flaw there.
Weight carrying ability should not be a problem for his since he can carry 149 lbs. Another way to look at it is he should be good to carry a jockey and a half.
He is an excellent sire for those that are trying to breed for that 12 furlong distance.

Nice job Chris! Hope to hear more from you as inspiration strikes.
Maybe in seasons gone past but I couldn't get 2 spots that I wanted to him this season lol but he is a brilliant stallion my best looking foal on AR was from Sinking Fear he is the 1st horse ive bred that I can remember that PREFERS every single surface looking forward to his 3y old career....
Nice write up Chris
Thanks for the nice comments. The next underused sire I write about will have more current availability.
Sinking Fear is the main reason I rescued Purple Passer out of EV to serve his final crop of Foals, its an amzing stat that he only sired 25 foals of which 4 were millionaires with his other Outstanding son being Missed Pass who won 4.5 million im sending him 10 mares and some nice one's at that the pick of them would have to be Nasara and Petite Lady (The dam of Nasara) though being a 1/2 brother to Thunder Arctic im surprised no body claimed him a few years ago to try there luck...
