Tambourine
Y2 Sire of the Year, Y4 Sire of the Year
Standing at 16.1 hands, Tambourine is a bright bay stallion with a definite turn of speed that could be passed on to his offspring. He was kept off the track only due to injury, and is now up for stud. Tambourine or 'Torto', is the sire of several Feature winners and a consistant producer of distance runners, including horses such as the Virtue Treble winner and Hall of Fame-inducted Skyward, who also broke the record for number of Features won in a year and has won numerous end-of-year awards. His other produce includes champion mare Sails Abroad, Y5 Champion Three Year Old and Feature winner, All That Jazz, Feature-placed, and Eastern Expression, winner of two Features in his two year old season.

Alphabetical
Alphabetical is another star producer, with his first two foals stepping onto the track in Y6 to take the industry by storm. Veridical won both the Summer Stakes Juvenile and Summer Oaks in her first ten starts, while Numerical placed behind her in the Juvenile and managed another placing in the Summer Stakes. Alphabetical is a black stallion who stands at a height of 16.2 hands and runs on the dirt in sprint races. He has so far produced mainly dirt runners, though any distance seems to be possible.

Looking Glass
Looking Glass is a 7yo dark bay stallion standing at 16hh and with a temperament to die for. A Grade II runner, Looking Glass is the winner of two features - the Y1 Queen's Oaks and Y2 Lousiville Cup - and placed in four others; the Summer Turf Classic, American Turf Cup, GII-rated American Mile, and Y6 Queen's Oaks.
'Smoke', as he is known around the stables, is easy-going and relaxed, yet with a turn of speed he is sure to pass on to his offspring. He prefers the turf, and ran at distances a mile or more.

Syllable
Syllable was a solid sprinter and GII contestant during his career, making it to 16 wins from 53 starts and coming worse than third only five times. Syllable contended several Features as well, earning himself one win, two places and three shows in these prestigious events and being nominated for several awards. He stands at 15.1 hands and is a strawberry roan, running exclusively on the turf in sprint races. Syllable has yet to produce any notable progeny.

Spiritway
Though he didn't quite live up to his promise in his ventures into GII territory as a six year old, turf sprinter Spiritway was still a force to be reckoned with on the track. With 11 wins, 16 places, and 5 shows in a variety of races including several Features, Spiritway proved he had the speed and drive to win, two things he will surely pass on to his produce.
Throughout his career, Spirit has been named Y3 Champion Two Year Old, and has enjoyed victory in both the open Queen's Sprint and GII Run For The Roses. He also placed in the Y4 ADT Juvenile and managed a show in his final season of racing in the Summer Turf Sprint against horses of all ages and grades.
