4/20/13 Yorktown sons

4/20/13 Earlier this week, the topic was Supreme Sultan's sons that were listed in the 1990 Breeder's Guide.    Supreme Sultan had 14 sons listed.  Coming in second with 8 sons featured in the Breeder's Guide was Yorktown.  He was by Wing commander and out of  BHF Oman's Anacacho Maytime and was owned by Jean McLean Davis. She mostly bred him to her retired show mares, many of which were CHampions and also BHF. Yorktown was a two time World's Grand Champion 5-gaited horse.  Here are some of his sons.

 Arrowhead Chief 
out of The Wild Irish Rose by Genius Bourbon King
He sired the 5-gaited pony, CH Sammyshine.

 Harrods Burg
out of Stonewall's Golden Model by Stonewall's Golden Dream
He was owned by Blythewood Farms in Cleveland, TN.
I have no idea why his name was two words, unlike the town of Harrodsburg.

 Local Hero
out of Barham's Reality (BHF) by Denmark's Bourbon Genius
Bred and owned by Jean McLean Davis.  Many of Yorktown's
colts were colorful, but this guy was really handsome!
He sired Adriatic and CH New York Style.

 Oak Hill's Dear Sir
out of CH Oak Hill's Dear One by Denmark's Bourbon Genius
Here's another one bred and owned by Jean McLean Davis.
He is the sire of breeding stallion Master Class.

 Talent Town
out of CH Chantilly Rose (BHF) by Denmark's Bourbon Genius
Bred by Jean McLean Davis, but owned by Ruxer Farms.
He sired CH Ramses, CH Mr. Snuffleupagus and CH Candle Dan.

 The Talk of the Town
out of My Starlight Hour by Starheart Stonewall
Talk was a Reserve World's Champion and a very good sire.
Among his offspring are CH Jaunty Janette, WGC CH Breaking News,
and CH Quidditch.  He also sired BHF Carol Lynn 
who produced CH According to Lynn and my favorite, Lynn Williams. 
My only question?  What in the heck is George Knight looking at? 

 Yorktown Magic
out of Putting on Airs (BHF) by Mr. Magic Man
Another really handsome stallion by Yorktown. 

Yorktown's Contract
out of Contract's Wild Rose by Private Contract

 
Featured in my next post will be Yorktown's sire, CH Wing Commander.
