This stallion carries the Seattle Slew sireline which continue to dominate American racing today through a number of fine stallions, including current National Leading Sire, A.P. Indy. The Fast Play x Smarten cross has proven itself in the performance of his full brother, the black type horse, Tarambana, (exported).
The dominance and versatility of this sireline shows in both performance and phenotypical appearance. Daring Messenger is a stamped copy of his sire and his sire’s sire, in both conformation and color, even to the white spot on the back of the left hind hoof, made famous by Triple Crown Champion Seattle Slew.
Bred in Kentucky. His foals will be eligible for Texas Bred Accreditation in 2007.
