The Complete Package For California Breeders
A $1.1 Million Yearling, Multiple Winner
& Half-Brother To G1 Sire Harlan's Holiday
New For 2010:
$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 36 stakes winners and the collective earners of more than $24 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 three crops of Harlan’s Holiday have already compiled earnings of more than $9.7 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), Tasha’s Miracle (G3-turf/G3-Polytrack; $398,452), Saratoga Sinner (G3-dirt; $152,202) and Necessary Evil (G3-Cushion Track; $117,600). 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 arrive in 2010.
BEDFORD FALLS stands at Poplar Meadows in Sanger, California. His 2010 fee is $2,500, live foal guarantee.
