9/22/18 2013 sire rating results

Moving forward another decade has brought many changes to the 2013 sire rating for American Saddlebred stallions.  The top point getters from 2003 have for the most part moved onto the deceased sire list.  Supreme Heir, Caramac, Harlem Globetrotter, The King of Highpoint, Callaway's Blue Norther, Santama's Charm, First Night Out, I'm a New Yorker and Catalyst were top 25 stallions and are now on the top 10 deceased sire list.  Interestingly, Will Shriver and his two top sons Caramac and Callaway's Blue Norther are three of the top four broodmare sires.  What an impact Will Shriver and Callaway Hills has had on the American Saddlebred breed.  And the top stallion in 2013 is a son of Caramac.

Only two stallions repeated in the top 25 from a decade ago.  They were Periaptor and Merchant Prince.  Merchant Prince was lost in a fire at Happy Valley shortly after this, and Periaptor has passed away as well.  A decade earlier, Supreme Sultan sons were most influential on the sire rating.  The pendulum has shifted back in favor of Wing Commander, with 19 of the top 25 stallions tracing to him, and 5 stallions tracing to Supreme Sultan.  Only Merchant Prince traced through a different sire line back to Genius Bourbon King, and the Stonewall King and Kalarama Rex lines had no representatives at all.

A new king has been crowned, and this fine horse just topped the chart for the first time in 2013.  When we looked at the last sire rating from 10 years earlier, Undulata's Nutcracker had yet to sire his first foal.  His rise to the top was meteoric, and his dominance is complete.  Who knows, will he top the chart when this blog looks at 2023?  It's very possible!  He will only be 22 years old at that time.

One thing to note, a stallion didn't grace the cover of the magazine's sire rating issue.  Although the exhibitor on the cover is a good one, and is certainly a supporter of the breed, it seems a shame after nearly 80 years of the sire rating that no stallion owner stepped up to advertise on the cover.  Only 20 stallions had large picture ads, and they only represented different six states: Kentucky, Illinois, Arizona, Missouri, Indiana and California.

Here, in alphabetical order, are the 20 stallions who had at least full or half page ads in the February 2013 issue with the sire rating results. If they were in the top 25 stallions, their number ranking  is highlighted in red. Quite a few of the top stallions didn't advertise, which could have been due to age, closed books, or they could have chosen to advertise at a later month.  Callaway Hills once again had a nice ad, but didn't picture any of their stallions. Cornerstone also had a nice ad and stands multiple stallions, but none were pictured.
