    Empire Maker Returning Home
    30 September, 2015
    Hangin' With Haskin

    For Bobby Frankel, he was to be the Messiah; the gifted regally bred racing machine that would be racing’s next superstar. He even had the appropriate name – Empire Maker. - See more at: http://cs.bloodhorse.com/blogs/horse-racing-steve-haskin/archive/2015/09/30/empire-maker-returning-home.aspx#sthash.smZtioQf.dpuf

    Too funny because I thought You Had and I was looking for it and even said to myself "QZF22 hasn't created one yet?". See how we've come to rely on you...lol

    Gainesway will be Empire Maker's new home --- looks like they just struck "Stud Gold" again! Already home to Tapit, America's top stallion at stud, Empire Maker should ensure that a long line of top quality broodmares book a visit to their breeding shed. They also have added to their Unbridled connection:
    Tapit by Pulpit out of Tap Your Heels by Unbridled
    Empire Maker by Unbridled out of Toussaud by El Gran Senor
    No stud fee posted yet for Empire Maker --- anyone with a "ballpark" guess?

    @sarinne it's really not work since I really like doing it.

    @QueenZFan22 -- it shows that you like keeping the forum informed! :) It's nice to be able to read articles and not have to search for them myself. I'm lazy. LOL

    Nice pics and impressive progeny. Seems to do more female G1 winners. Bernie is trending that way lately.
  • sarinnesarinne Member
    And quite a few successful two year olds.

    Yep, my comments were based on that. Bernie is a great sire; maybe better in long run for fillies; on the other hand , Tapit's earlier successes were mostly with the girls.

    Pedigree Analysis: Empire Maker

    The saying, “out of sight, out of mind,” apparently is not always so. During the first session of the Keeneland September yearling sale, much of the buzz as far as sires was concerned was not about commercial superstars Tapit and War Front , or about the first-crop sires headed by Frankel, but about the possibility Empire Maker was about to return to the U.S. after five seasons in Japan.

    Thanks Especially_horses for posting link to Empire Maker pedigree discussion. With offspring like Pioneerofthenile, Royal Delta, Bodiemester, Emolliement, et al., glad he is back in U.S. Very superior pedigree which offers more choices for Unbridled sons, than just sons of Unbridled'Song. I would go to Empire Maker in a heartbeat if I owned Z.

    Michael Hernon talks about Empire Maker, Tapit and other new stallions for 2016:

    Star of Goshen (dam of Pioneerof The Nile) will be bred to Empire Maker in 2016 before being retired. Foal will be full to Pioneerof The Nile.
  • Especially_HorsesEspecially_Horses Member
    That's breaking news! I'm praying she gets in foal one last time. What would one wish for...a filly or colt. That's a hard one.

    How old is she?
  • QueenZFan22QueenZFan22 Member
    How old is she?
    She's 21. She does have a 2009 Empire Maker mare named Orchardof The Nile that's unraced.
  • KMMKMM Member
    I am sure they will take good care of her, anyway, high hopes!
  • KMMKMM Member
    Empire Maker is a great bargain compared to AP.:)
