The stallions Aptitude, Empire Maker (first two-year-olds of 2007) and Mizzen Mast are based at Juddmonte Farms in Lexington, KY.

APTITUDE 1997 b h A. P. Indy-Dokki (Northern Dancer) 
Multiple Grade 1 winner and multiple Classic-placed Aptitude is passing on his Classic quality to his offspring.  He has been represented by a Kentucky Derby starter in each of his first two crops; Grade 1 winner Great Hunter ($772,500), who defeated Kentucky Derby Champion Street Sense in the Grade 1 Lane’s End Breeders’ Futurity, and Steppenwolfer ($635,746), who placed behind Barbaro in the 132nd Run For The Roses.  In the sales ring in 2007, yearlings sold for up to $120,000 and two-year-olds sold for up to $250,000.


EMPIRE MAKER 2000 b h Unbridled-Toussaud (El Gran Senor)
Three-time Grade 1 winner and Classic winner Empire Maker is passing on his considerable class to his offspring.  He is already the Sire of a 3 first-crop Stakes winners including Multiple Grade 1 winner Country Star, who set a Stakes and Track Record in the Grade 1 Hollywood Starlet, and Mushka, a $1.6 Million Saratoga Select Sales Topper who won the Grade 2 Demoiselle Stakes at Aqueduct.  With outstanding mares in his first few books like Grade 1 winner Rings a Chime, dam of Country Star (G1), as well as the dams of Mega-Millionaires, Kentucky Oaks winners, Champions, Grade 1 winners and Grade 1 Producers, Empire Maker’s legacy is destined to continue.


MIZZEN MAST 1998 gr h Cozzene-Kinema (Graustark)
Mizzen Mast has emerged as one of North America's top Juvenile Sires in 2007.  Of his 14 total Stakes performers in 2007, 3 are Juvenile Stakes winners (in 3 different countries) and 9 are Juvenile Stakes performers.  No other North American Sire had more two-year-old Stakes Horses than Mizzen Mast, and this bodes well for a stellar 2008 for the brilliant young son of Cozzene. In 2007 in the sales ring, the market spoke loud and clear and they were right with two-year-olds selling for $400,000, $350,000, $320,000, $290,000, $180,000, etc.
