Matty G, Washington's leading sire of both 2006 and 2007, was a Grade 1 winner and is the sire of four graded stakes winners. He is currently the leading Washington sire of 2008 as well. He provides Washington breeders an exceptional level of both racing performance and sire quality. 

Matty G has sired 19 stakes horses--nine stakes winners, 10  stakes-placed. Led by millionaire Grade 2 winner My Cousin Matt ($1,013,274), his runners have earned more than $8,200,000. (Look below for the impressive list of his stakes horses.)

Matty G won the Grade 1 Hollywood Futurity at 2 and the Grade 3 Ascot Handicap at 3, along with two stakes placings at 3, one Grade 2. He earned almost all of his $443,275 at 2 and 3. He's siring the same kind of early developers--all but one of his stakes horses earned black type at 2 and/or 3, and seven of them did it at 2. 

Matty G is siring durability as well as quality. Twelve of his 19 stakes horses were still racing in 2007 at ages ranging from 2 to 7. His runners have averaged almost 16 starts each, and many of them are still racing and adding to that total.

Matty G was bred to be a runner and a sire. His sire is 2-year-old champion Capote, sire of 58 stakes winners. His dam is stakes-placed Star Gem ($152,941), who produced not only Matty G but also three other stakes horses, including Star of Cozzene ($2,102,964), who won or placed in 20 stakes races, 16 of them graded.

Matty G stands at El Dorado Farms at a fee of $4,500, live foal.
