Thread: Great stallions without a KY Derby winner

  1. #1

    Great stallions without a KY Derby winner

    I can think of a few "recent" ones but what about older ones...

    Storm Cat, Danzig( I think), AP Indy (so far), Mr. P, Secretariat (although some don't consider him a great stallion)

    Mr. Prospector sired Fusaichi Pegasus.

    Northern Dancer never sired a Derby winner.

    He did sire I believe three English Derby winners. Considering most of his good foals went off to Europe it may not mean much that he didn't sire a Kentucky Derby winner.

    Secretariat did have a Preakness and Belmont winner in Risen Star. But no Derby winner.

    I was simply answering the question. When it comes down to it, it really doesn't mean much that any of these didn't sire a Kentucky Derby winner. They were all great sires anyway.

    Forgot about Pegasus! The above poster is right, it doesn't mean much that they never had a Derby winner, but it is a glaring hole!

    I don't see it that way. There is so much that a single stallion and his descendants can do, that the subject of this thread is meaningless in the end.

    Lexington is an obvious one. He was the broodmare sire of several, though.

    AP Indy, but he does have one as a broodmare sire.
