Saint Ballado - Metromane, by Metrogrand
Chestnut • 1998
A Multiple Graded Stakes Winner
In Southern California At 2
Lifetime Progeny Earnings More Than $2.9 Million
& Average Earnings/Starter More Than $29,000
Sire Of More Than 70 Winners,
Including 2YO Stakes Winner Leigh McLovin
FLAME THROWER enjoyed one of the greatest 2-year-old seasons in California history when he won the first four starts of his career, following a maiden win with consecutive victories in the Grade 3 Best Pal Stakes and the Grade 2 Del Mar Futurity at Del Mar and the Grade 2 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita. He suffered the only defeat of his 2-year-old season when he was unplaced in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Stakes.
FLAME THROWER finished that season with four wins in five starts and earnings of $388,200. He continued his success into his sophomore season, finishing second in his only two starts, in the Grade 2 Riva Ridge Stakes at Belmont Park and against older horses in the Grade 3 Maryland Breeders' Cup Handicap at Pimlico.
FLAME THROWER was retired after finishing second by a neck in the Riva Ridge Stakes with a record of four wins and two seconds in seven starts for earnings of $458,200--an average of $65,457 per start. After winning a maiden special weight race at Del Mar in his first start, he raced in nothing but graded stakes for the rest of his career.
FLAME THROWER recorded Equibase Speed Figures above 100 in every one of his starts--102, 103, 104, 113, 113, 114, and 121. He won at distances from six furlongs to one mile.
FLAME THROWER is out of a stakes-winning mare, and carries on the male line of the ill-fated Saint Ballado, the royally bred, Grade 2-winning sire of 70 stakes winners (26 in graded stakes company) and overall progeny earnings of more than $51 million who died prematurely at the age of 13 in 2002. His elite runners include Horse of the Year Saint Liam ($4,456,995), two-time Eclipse Champion Ashado ($3,931,440) and Grade 1 winner Captain Bodgit ($1,014,849).
FLAME THROWER is represented by six crops of racing age. To date, he has sired more than 70 winners, including four stakes horses, as well as two earners of more than $200,000 each and three additional earners of more than $100,000 each. His daughter Leigh McLovin was a dominating, four-length winner of Fair Grounds' Letellier Memorial Stakes for 2-year-old fillies. He has total progeny earnings of more than $2.9 million, and lifetime average earnings per starter of more than $29,000.
