Will a stallion sire two Breeder's Cup winners?

Saint Ballado? Saint Liam and Ashado Longshot-Lord of the Game
El Prado? Borrego and Artie Schiller
Dynaformer? Perfect Drift ,Riskaverse, Film Maker, and Sand Springs
Danehill? Intercontinental,Oratorio, Ivan Denisovich, Ace, and Lucas Line
Giant's Causeway? First Samurai,Mona Lisa, and Diamond Omi
A.P. Indy? Sweet Symphony,Suave, and A.P. Arrow
Distorted Humor? Flower Alley and Original Spin
Dixie Union? Sensation and Bear Character

Bet on Saint Ballado, Danehill,Dynaformer, El Prado, or Giant's Causeway horses and you should hit some winners

Just to name a few

My guess is probably not this year but could happen.

Giant's Causeway will sire the winners of both Juvenile races this year with First Samurai and Diamond Omi.

Careful with the Giant's Causeway love... you'll bring out those detractors who have already proclaimed him to be a "flop"...

Another, who until yesterday, had two entered was Artax.

Isn't it amazing what this industry does... every living sire listed with 2 in the BC (with the exception of A.P. Indy) will see significant stud fee increases. All will almost assuredly also see their progeny's sales figures increase... yet, I heard once again this past week it said of a yearling... "its a shame it is an Artax". What does he have to do to get some respect? His first KY crop is only 3 this year (maybe only 2, I lose track)... he has had a good year... he has had fairly big sale horses... he had a couple good enough to consider the BC (although they were longshots at best... but how many "better considered" stallions didn't even have that?).

Heck, I didn't even really like the horse, until I saw him and I certainly don't think his owner has helped his cause very much... but, based purely on observation, and the limited amount of information at our disposal, I have to ask, "how on earth can there be a negative perception?"

KAL, I've got to agree with you on Artax. The colt he had in the Juvenile, Diabolical, only dropped because the race was over subscribed and he didn't have enough points to get in. He'll be running in the G3 Nashua S. at Belmont on Friday instead.
