Recently, The Jockey Club released numbers on the number of mares covered by stallions in 2021.
Breakway Farms stands four of the top ten Indiana stallions covering mares, including leading sire Charming Kitten who stood his first full season in 2021. The son of perennial turf producer Kitten’s Joy seems to be a solid fit for turf-loving Hoosier horsemen, covering 31 mares.
Swifty Farms’ stallions Isotherm and Unbridled Express with 30 mares each, highlighting Unbridled Express’s continued dominance in the Indiana industry and perhaps the start of a new era with Isotherm.
The following is the rundown for 45 stallions who stood in Indiana in 2021 and the farms they stand at for 2022 (no designation means they are not registered with a farm with the Indiana Thoroughbred Breed Development Program):
