It’s not confirmed yet. Likely, but they did continue to race Jackie’s Warrior, so.

Jackie's Warrior does not have a sales pedigree. Cyberknife is by Gun Runner, the next sales darling. That is all you need to consider.

Exactly. They won't be able to get him from his last race into the breeding shed fast enough.
The race to get the 3yr old Gun Runner's to stud has begun......

Not really Stallion News but there is a 2 part series on Thoroughbredracing.com written by Nancy Sexton called "Who’s the daddy? Top ten greatest sires of the last 100 years"

Part 1 (stallions 6-10) - https://www.thoroughbredracing.com/arti ... -part-one/

I don’t agree with her several choices or lack of several sires. Also, putting European and American sires on the same lists. Even Sunday Silence...how would he have fared here? How do you even compare him to American sires?

Considering how often these top sires made their way across The Ponds (Atlantic & Pacific), how do you separate American from European sires? Is El Prado an American sire, or European because he was bred in Ireland? Is Sunday Silence an American or Japanese stallion?
We may have different opinions about who deserves to be on a Top Ten list, but I kind of like approaching it from a 'influenced the whole breed' POV, rather than separating the horses into single countries or even continents.

Coolmore has already bought into Bashford Manor Stakes winner Gulfport in a deal that includes him standing at Ashford upon the conclusion of his racing career :?
