It’s February! As a
loyal reader of a number of Saddlebred publications, that usually means the
sire ratings come out in the February issue.
As I’m waiting for the results of this year’s tabulations, it’s fun to
look back and see who has been at the top in the past.
2003 – On the cover of the magazine was the
gorgeous black stallion, Rifles and Roses.
Topping the sire rating was Supreme Heir.
