Hottest Sire Lines

Muqtarib demonstrated his early speed and early class by winning the Group 2 Chester Stakes at Goodwood at 2 in England. In breaking his maiden six weeks earlier at Goodwood, he defeated eventual Epsom Derby winner Oath. In the U. S. at 4, he was an allowance winner at Belmont Park.

Muqtarib's sire, Gone West, a Grade 1-winning son of the legendary Mr. Prospector, has already produced several successful sires to carry on that great line, including Zafonic (sire of champion Xaar-GB), Grand Slam (sire of 23 stakes winners from his first three crops, including Breeders' Cup Sprint winner Cajun Beat), West by West (sire of 16 stakes horses), and Mr. Greeley (sire of Grade 1 winner El Corredor).
.
Muqtarib, out of a champion 2-year-old, is from the female family of champion sires Habitat and Northfields and 3-year-old champion Suave Dancer.

Muqtarib stands at Victory Rose Thoroughbreds, Vacaville, at a fee of $3,500, live foal.
