BEDFORD FALLS offers The Complete Package for California breeders: Pedigree, Physical, Performance, Potential and Prepotency.
BEDFORD FALLS is California's only winning stallion by Storm Cat's Grade 1-winning son Forestry, the sire of 42 stakes winners and the collective earners of more than $34 million. Forestry's top runners include the Grade 1 winners Discreet Cat ($1,694,180), Diplomat Lady ($552,784) and Forest Danger ($423,000), as well as the 2011 Preakness Stakes (G1) winner and Eclipse Award finalist Shackleford ($1,985,803). Forestry is an emerging sire of sires: his son Old Forester was Canada's leading first-crop sire of 2010 and leading second-crop sire of 2011, and also ranked second among all Canada-based stallions with more than $3 million in progeny earnings in 2011.
BEDFORD FALLS is a handsome, athletic, well-balanced individual who sold for $1.1 million to internationally renowned bloodstock expert John Ferguson during the opening session of the 2004 Keeneland September Yearling Sale - commanding a remarkable 22 times the stud fee of his sire. Of the 54 Forestry yearlings offered at public auction in 2004, Bedford Falls ranked second-highest in price.
BEDFORD FALLS began his racing career for powerhouse Darley Stable, and won or placed in 11 of his 15 lifetime starts on dirt, turf and all-weather surfaces, including coast-to-coast victories at three different racetracks at distances of six furlongs to one mile. He broke his maiden by 3 1/2 lengths in a one-mile dirt race at Belmont Park, ran second to 2008 Pacific Classic (G1) winner Go Between ($2,908,880) in a one-mile turf test at Gulfstream Park and placed in additional races at Saratoga Race Course and Hollywood Park.
BEDFORD FALLS is out of the multiple stakes-producing mare Christmas in Aiken, a winning daughter of 1978 Triple Crown winner and leading broodmare sire Affirmed. His third dam is Princessnesian, the last filly to win the prestigious Hollywood Gold Cup Handicap (in 1968) and a half-sister to the 1966 Santa Anita Derby winner and leading broodmare sire Boldnesian, the grandsire of the 1977 Triple Crown winner and historically significant sire Seattle Slew.
BEDFORD FALLS is a half-brother to one of North America's most popular and successful young sires: the multiple Grade 1 winner and 2002 Kentucky Derby (G1) favorite Harlan's Holiday ($3,632,664). Runners from the first five crops of Harlan's Holiday have already compiled earnings of more than $19 million, and have won graded/group stakes races on dirt, turf and all-weather surfaces, including Majesticperfection (G1-dirt), Into Mischief (G1-Cushion Track), Willcox Inn (G2-turf), Denis of Cork (G3-dirt), Mendip (G3-Tapeta), Riley Tucker (G3-dirt), Silver Reunion (G3-turf) and Tasha's Miracle (G3-turf/G3-Polytrack). Harlan's Holiday covered 158 mares in North America at a $25,000 advertised fee in 2011.
BEDFORD FALLS was the leading California-based first-crop sire by average price at the 2011 Barretts October Yearling Sale and the 2011 Northern California Yearling Sale. He is represented by his first crop of 2-year-olds in 2012.
BEDFORD FALLS stands at Poplar Meadows in Sanger, California. His 2012 fee is $2,500, live foal guarantee.
