& Half-Brother To G1 Sire Harlan's Holiday
Special Bonus:
$125,000 Breeding Incentive Program!
BEDFORD FALLS offers The Complete Package for California breeders: Pedigree, Physical, Performance, Potential and Prepotency.
BEDFORD FALLS is California’s only stallion by Storm Cat’s Grade 1-winning son Forestry, the sire of 37 stakes winners and the collective earners of more than $26 million. Forestry’s top runners include the Grade 1 winners Discreet Cat ($1,694,180), Diplomat Lady ($552,784) and Forest Danger ($423,000) and the 2009 Grade 2 winners Etched ($362,586) and Carolyn’s Cat ($307,415). Forestry covered 139 mares at a $40,000 fee in 2009.
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. He is a half-brother to one of North America’s most popular and successful young sires: multiple Grade 1 winner and 2002 Kentucky Derby (G1) favorite Harlan’s Holiday ($3,632,664). Sons and daughters from the first four crops of Harlan’s Holiday have already compiled earnings of more than $11.5 million, and have won graded stakes races on dirt, turf and all-weather surfaces, including Into Mischief (G1-Cushion Track; $597,080), Denis of Cork (G3-dirt; $613,252), Riley Tucker (G3-dirt; $452,805), Tasha’s Miracle (G3-turf/G3-Polytrack; $398,452), Saratoga Sinner (G3-dirt; $171,102) and Necessary Evil (G3-Cushion Track; $117,600). In 2010, his son Majesticperfection set a six-furlong track record of 1:07.24 while capturing the $125,000 Iowa Sprint Handicap at Prairie Meadows. Harlan’s Holiday covered 165 mares at a $30,000 fee in 2009.
BEDFORD FALLS entered stud in 2009, and achieved a 95% in-foal rate from his initial book of mares. His first foals are spectacular individuals, and are weanlings in 2010.
BEDFORD FALLS stands at Poplar Meadows in Sanger, California. His 2010 fee is $2,500, live foal guarantee.
