WHAT do Contributor, Dundeel, Redwood, So You Think, Tivaci and Toronado have in common? They are Group 1-winning sons of the dual Derby and dual Breeders’ Cup hero High Chaparral (Sadler’s Wells) who have sired Group 1 winners.

Free Eagle has not yet achieved that feat, but the top-class racehorse got the Group 1 Derby runner-up and now young sire Khalifa Sat (dam by Tenby) in his first crop, and his son Bolthole (dam by Acclamation) is the subject of review in this week’s Breeding Insights column. He has clearly shown that he can get runners who can perform with credit at the highest level.
