Unless you spend a lot of times following racing or studying pedigrees, you may not have heard of Magical Way's sire, Maclean's Music. But there are people in the industry who are excited about this young stallion.
Maclean's Music was sired by top sire Distorted Humor, and only raced once -- but he won that race easily by a devastating margin and earned a 114 speed figure. It was the fastest debut in history!
Sadly, surgery to remove of a split bone later caused complications and he was retired to stud. He stood his first year at $6,500. His stud fee now is set at $50,000.
Maclean's Music really came to light as a sire after the rise of this year's superstar, Jackie's Warrior. But he's far from a one hit wonder, siring such horses as Cloud Computing (Preakness Winner) and Complexity (G1/G2 stakes winner).
Read his story here: Maclean's Music Retired to Hill N Dale 10-16-2012 including commentary by his jockey, Mike Smith, the New Mexico native who's ridden some of racing's legendary horses.
