Broodmare Of The Year Toussaud
Decarchy was
bred to run. His young sire, Distant View, by Mr. Prospector, was champion
3-year-old in England and already has sired champion Observatory and millionaire
Sightseek. His female family is of the highest quality--he's a half-brother
to four Grade 1 stakes winners.
Decarchy broke his maiden by 7 lengths at 2 in England but didn't flourish until he came to the United States at 4. He won his first three starts in the U. S. and
ran second in the fourth, beaten a half-length in the Grade 2 Citation
Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Decarchy ran even better as an older horse. At 4 and 5, he won graded stakes at Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields and placed in four other graded stakes, including the Grade 1 Eddie Read Handicap at Del Mar.
Decarchy was at his best at distances ranging from a flat mile to a mile and an eighth, a profile shared by many successful sires, including Storm Cat.
Decarchy's first foals are 4-year-olds of 2009. He was California’s leading first-crop sire of 2007, and he repeated his reign as the state’s leading second-crop sire of 2008. Continuing the dominance, he currently ranks as California’s leading third-crop sire of 2009. From three crops of racing age, he boasts four stakes horses — including $250,000 Snow Chief Stakes winner Harlene — and total progeny earnings of more than $1.6 million.
