LION HEARTED climbs ever higher as a sire! For the second year in a row, he had progeny earnings well over $3 million, ranking him third in the region in 2009. His six 2009 stakes winners included three winners on Maryland Million Day from five starters!
The leading Mid-Atlantic freshman sire in 2004 and ranked in the top 20 nationally, LION HEARTED continues to get precocious runners, counting 2009 Maryland Million Lassie winner LIL KIARA among 13 lifetime juvenile stakes horses. LION HEARTED struck quickly with his first starter in his first crop, stakes-winning juvenile filly chocolate Brown, and has multiple stakes winners in each of his first five crops. He has more than 72% winners from starters in six crops, and 11% stakes horses/starters! At the sales, his lifetime 2-year-old average is $53,071, nearly 18 times his stud fee. Out of a Gr. 1 winner, LION HEARTED descends from the classic lines of champions EASY GOER and RELAXING. Multiple graded stakes-placed LION HEARTED is a half-brother to Gr.2 winner Cat Cay and Gr.1 winner and sire Strolling Along.
