.
Decarchy's No. 1! With seven winners and earnings of $289,243, Decarchy was California's leading freshman sire of 2007, both in total earnings and number of winners.
   .
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 stands at 2008 at Magali Farms, Santa Ynez, at a fee of $5,000, live foal. His first foals are 3-year-olds of 2008.
