Seeking the Gold - Harbor Springs, by Vice Regent
Bay • 2001
A Winning Son Of Seeking The Gold
& Half-Brother To Eclipse Champion 2YO Boston Harbor
Oregon's Leading First-Crop Sire In 2008,
Leading Second-Crop Sire/Leading Sire Of 2YOs In 2009
& Leading Overall Sire In 2010
43% Of His Winners Are Stakes Performers,
Including Three State Champions:
Noosa Beach, Hollywood Harbor & Catalina Harbor
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 $88 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 2008 Washington Champion 2-Year-Old Colt/Gelding Noosa Beach ($219,375) and the 2008 Oregon Champion 2-Year-Old Filly Catalina Harbor. In 2009, Noosa Beach won two stakes races at Emerald Downs and placed in the $278,902 British Columbia Derby (G3) in Canada, and was subsequently honored with a second statewide title as the 2009 Washington Champion 3-Year-Old Colt/Gelding. He returned again in 2010 to win a pair of stakes races, including the $50,000 Seattle Handicap at Emerald Downs in track-record time for six furlongs.
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-winning juveniles from this crop: Koala Beach ($121,693) and 2009 Washington Champion 2-Year-Old Colt/Gelding Hollywood Harbor ($70,501). In 2010, Koala Beach returned to capture the $50,000 Pepsi Cola Handicap for 3-year-olds at Emerald Downs.
HARBOR THE GOLD ascended to the top of the progeny earnings list in 2010 as the leading overall sire in Oregon. From his third crop to race, Couldabenthewhisky and Carrabelle Harbor exhibited their sire’s brilliance when they swept both editions of Emerald Downs’ Northwest Stallion Stakes for 2-year-olds.
HARBOR THE GOLD is siring quality racehorses. Ten of his 23 winners are stakes performers — that’s an incredible rate of 43%! To date, he has accrued total progeny earnings of more than $730,000 and average earnings per starter of more than $21,000.
