Martina Fitzgerald Absolutely! Nearco's influence on the pedigree of top thoroughbreds is undeniable. It's amazing how his legacy continues to shape the sport.
Ivan Mees We're really excited to hear your interest in Northern Dancer. Stay tuned because we're actually releasing a detailed video on Northern Dancer soon, and we think you're going to love it! Keep an eye out for it and let us know what you think once it's out!
@factssmashers I know already that I will love this documentary, his story is one of love of an owner for the little horse that could. He had a heart as big as a whale ! Looking forward to watching it !
Without Doctor Vincent O'brien no sadletswells, no Galileo, no Frankel . No Sir Ivor, no Najinsky ...the man was a genius and helped establish Northern Dancer as a world champion sire. Some American breeders thought that Northern Dancer was too small and a Canadian freak, boy did they have to eat humble pie !
Maybe you should mention that 75% of the world’s stakes winners trace to Nearco through Northern Dancer. Last year only 1 horse in the Kentucky Derby did not carry at least 1 cross to the Dancer. And btw isn’t Cody’s Wish by Curlin? A bit more notable than the other Curlin offspring you mentioned, dontcha think? And your a bit behind the curve. Galileo (your AI doesn’t know how to pronounce the name of one of the most celebrated scientists of all time) and Deep Impact both passed away before last year’s racing season. And apropo Deep Impact, ever heard of a colt called Auguste Rodin?
Tracey Travers Honestly, we couldn't find a professional voice-over artist with a background in horses, and we can't afford one either. Additionally, no one here is willing to help us or give us any extra support. That's why we rely on AI for our voice-overs.
It's incredible to see the value placed on these top sires like Frankel and Dubawi. Their stud fees are certainly a testament to their success and influence in the world of horse racing. Thanks for sharing this interesting tidbit!
@@robertlosasso4222 BTW, Curlin is also a card-carrying recipient of the big heart gene through mares out of Something Royal, Princequillo's daughter. PQ is believed to have brought the big heart gene to the USA during WWII.
Gorgatz 04 Thanks for your comment! American Pharoah's impact goes beyond his current stud fee-his initial stud fee was $200,000, reflecting his early demand. Gun Runner, Uncle Mo, and Medaglia d'Oro are amazing too-definitely worthy mentions!
Martin Clail Absolutely! Scat Daddy was undoubtedly an exceptional sire, and his influence on the world of horse racing cannot be overlooked. Thanks for pointing that out!
Andrew Winstanley Thanks for your comment! We're thrilled to hear your interest in Frankel. Stay tuned because we're working on a detailed video about him, and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
American Pharaoh : " ... ( his ) offspring, including Classic Empire and Justify, ... " !?!?!?!? . Excuse me! If you want to make video's about something, than, at least, TRY to have your basic facts verified! SHAME, SHAME on you!!!!!!!
Ivan Mees Thank you so much for pointing out the error. I apologize for the mistake regarding American Pharoah's offspring. We've trimmed that incorrect section from the video. It was an unintentional writing error. If you notice any other inaccuracies, please let us know so we can improve. Thanks again for your help!
For a video that has potential for a lot of views, it was painful to watch. Incorrect names, out of date information and listing offspring who aren't in the sires top ten. As well as saying the same thing about every sire in a different way.
Lester Cullen I appreciate you pointing that out and I'll make sure to double-check the facts and update the information in future videos. Your input helps me improve!
Afraid your number one has Sadly passed away ,you need to keep up to date when you post and pronounce them correctly,but for all that a good video,well done 👍
Cliff Rightmove Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate your feedback and will make sure to stay updated and improve pronunciation in future videos. Glad you enjoyed it overall! 😊
Red Rum Thanks for the update! In 2024, American Pharoah’s stud fee is indeed $50,000 for a live foal at Ashford Stud in Kentucky. However, when he first retired, his fee was $200,000 per live foal, making his initial year potentially worth around $40 million given the number of mares he could book.
SpursFanCanada I appreciate the feedback. If there's any specific information you think needs correcting, please let me know. Always looking to improve!
Which sire is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
Nearco,...look back at all top thoroughbreds since he was at stud. He is in every great horses pedigree
Martina Fitzgerald
Absolutely! Nearco's influence on the pedigree of top thoroughbreds is undeniable. It's amazing how his legacy continues to shape the sport.
Ever heard about Northern Dancer...?
Yes, and his off spring went on to stand at stud in Coolmore Ireland.

@@factssmashersNorthern Dancer also holds the highest stud fee ever. 1 million USD with no life foal guarantee...
My comments is very simple The sire I love NORTHERN. DANCER. Without him Sadler Wells. No Gallieo
Without Doctor Vincent O'brien no sadletswells, no Galileo, no Frankel . No Sir Ivor, no Najinsky ...the man was a genius and helped establish Northern Dancer as a world champion sire. Some American breeders thought that Northern Dancer was too small and a Canadian freak, boy did they have to eat humble pie !
Allan Samaroo
Thanks for your comment! Northern Dancer truly is legendary.
Frankel a great sire ❤
Yes, his sire Galileo and grandsire Sadlerswells have had a terrific influence on horse racing.
"Fact Smashers" takes on a whole new meaning 😂

Correct pronunciation would be good.

@@factssmashers Go to RUclips and type in Galileo, Italian Scientist - there should be a few videos using the correct pronunciation.
Yes.
😂@@factssmashers
As of today, stud fees for Frankel and Dubawi are both £350,000.

Great Video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Tapit is a descendant of Secretariat, and his line continues to pass on the big heart gene.
You’ll have to go back to Secretariats Dam , Weekend Suprise , Tapit is not from the Sire line of Secretariat.
I’ll take that back , Secretariats Dam was Something Royal .
@@robertlosasso4222 BTW, Curlin is also a card-carrying recipient of the big heart gene through mares out of Something Royal, Princequillo's daughter. PQ is believed to have brought the big heart gene to the USA during WWII.
While naming American Pharoah and Pioneer of the Nile you show clips of the great Justify.
How about Storm Cat?
yosh fukuman
Thanks for your comment! Storm Cat is definitely a legendary sire and worth mentioning. Appreciate the suggestion!
American Pharoah's stud fee is only $50,000 and should not be included here.. Gun Runner, Uncle Mo and Medaglia d' Oro are all better sires than AP
Gorgatz 04
Thanks for your comment! American Pharoah's impact goes beyond his current stud fee-his initial stud fee was $200,000, reflecting his early demand. Gun Runner, Uncle Mo, and Medaglia d'Oro are amazing too-definitely worthy mentions!
Ever heard of see the stars😊
Michael Boyle
Thanks for your comment! Yes, Sea The Stars is an incredible sire. Definitely one of the greats!
Scat Daddy deseves a mention.
Martin Clail
Absolutely! Scat Daddy was undoubtedly an exceptional sire, and his influence on the world of horse racing cannot be overlooked. Thanks for pointing that out!
Frankel - The end
Andrew Winstanley
Thanks for your comment! We're thrilled to hear your interest in Frankel. Stay tuned because we're working on a detailed video about him, and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
Equinox
Johannes Thomas
Thanks for your comment! Equinox is definitely a remarkable sire. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

So in this video, you're talking American Pharoah yet showing footage of Justify!

I came to the comments to say this. Galileo died in July 2021! That's three years ago...
Galileo of course
Thanks for your comment! Galileo is an incredible choice. His legacy is truly unmatched!
American Pharoah stud fee is $50,000 not $200,000

Like the mare has nothing to do with it. She's 50%
DUBAWI IS £350,000 convert to dollars ,you are well out of date 😢
Cliff Rightmove
Thanks for pointing that out! I appreciate the update. I'll make sure to convert that to dollars for accuracy.
NEVER RUSH TO PUT OUT CONTENT. WITH WRONG ASSOCIATED PICS AND WRONG PRONUNCIATIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR CALLED "FACT SMASHERS"...
Devoid of information, plenty of superlatives

Get your facts straight.
