& Half-Brother To Eclipse Champion 2YO Boston Harbor
Oregon's #1 First-Crop Sire In 2008,
#1 Second-Crop Sire In 2009
& #1 Sire Of 2YOs In 2009
8 Of His 15 Winners Are Stakes Performers (53%),

HARBOR THE GOLD won or placed in five of his nine starts, and his two wins were spectacular: by seven lengths at Belmont Park (see photo) and by 5 3/4 lengths at Aqueduct. He competed only at top-tier tracks: Belmont Park, Saratoga, Aqueduct and Santa Anita.
HARBOR THE GOLD offers a powerful pedigree, both top and bottom. He is by Mr. Prospector's outstanding son Seeking the Gold, a top-flight performer as a racehorse and as a sire, and he is a half-brother to the Eclipse Award-winning juvenile Boston Harbor.
HARBOR THE GOLD is by Seeking the Gold, a Grade 1-winning earner of more than $2.3 million and the sire of the collective earners of more than $87 million, including champions Dubai Millennium, Seeking the Pearl, Heavenly Prize, Catch the Ring and Flanders.
HARBOR THE GOLD's first two dams produced champions. His dam, a stakes-winning daughter of the top sire and broodmare sire Vice Regent, produced the Eclipse Champion 2-Year-Old Boston Harbor ($1,934,605). His second dam produced five stakes horses, including the Eclipse Champion Sprinter Groovy ($1,346,956).
HARBOR THE GOLD was represented by his first crop of runners in 2008. He quickly emerged as Oregon's leading freshman sire, with a remarkable three stakes winners from his first eight starters (38%). Among his first-crop stakes winners were the Washington state champion Noosa Beach ($143,375) and the Oregon state champion Catalina Harbor ($34,627). In 2009, Noosa Beach won his initial two starts as a 3-year-old, both in stakes company at Emerald Downs, and went on to place in the $278,902 British Columbia Derby (G3) in Canada.
HARBOR THE GOLD repeated his dominance as Oregon's leading second-crop sire of 2009, with year-end progeny earnings of $366,669. He also reigned as Oregon's leading sire of 2-year-olds in 2009, and was represented by two multiple stakes winners from this crop: Koala Beach ($92,843) and Hollywood Harbor ($70,101). To date, he has total progeny earnings of more than $480,000 and average earnings per starter of more than $20,000.
HARBOR THE GOLD is siring quality racehorses. Eight of his 15 winners are stakes performers - that's an incredible rate of 53%!
