The statistics contained in these rankings are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems Inc. While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and total accuracy.
A dagger (†) indicates a stallion has been retired, an asterisk ( * ) that he has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere, a number sign (#) that he did not stand in California in 2007 but stood in the state in 2008, a double dagger (‡)
that he did not stand in California in 2008 but will stand in the state in 2009 and in bold that he is a freshman sire. In all cases, the sire will remain in the rankings until the year after his last California foals are two-year-olds. Statistics cover
racing in North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the United Arab Emirates only.
