When Include bred a full book at a $25,000 stud fee in 2008, much was expected. With a history of improving his mares and already the sire of two American Grade I winners from his first crop, it was easy to be bullish on the future prospects of his best bred crop. Include has not disappointed. On Sunday, Include was represented by his 5th stakes winner from his 3-year-olds when Daring Reality impressively took Belmont Park’s Wanda Stakes. Less than 48 hours earlier, Include came within a quickly dimishing neck of siring a GI Kentucky Oaks winner, when his daughter St. John’s River thrilled the Churchill Downs crowd with her furious finish in the historic race.
In addition to his 5 stakes-winning sophomores, Include has been represented by a total of 9 stakes horses from what is quickly becoming a banner crop, And, with his $35,000 crop hitting the track as two-year-olds this year, Include looks to be sitting on some big, BIG years ahead.
Think About It!
