PURCELL, OK—APRIL 26, 2016—Sires and sire lines are big part of Quarter Horse breeding conversation, but broodmare sires are sometimes overlooked in these discussions.
It's not uncommon for a leading sire to become a leading broodmare sire, and recent North American titleholders in both divisions have included First Down Dash, Mr Jess Perry and Corona Cartel. Their genetic superiority combined with the elite group of broodmares they are exposed to almost guarantees daughters with producing potential.
The leading broodmare sires lists so far for 2016 is seeing another leading sire who is a newcomer starting to make his mark as a broodmare sire.

She is also the dam of Grade 1 winner and former Broodmare of the Year Fortune Of Delight ($100,269), dam of champions A Delightful Dasher ($1,660,525) and Hes My Dasher ($575,774).
The aforementioned Dean Miracle has not only been a successful sire, he has also been an outstanding broodmare sire with the likes of 2014 All American Futurity(G1) winner Jm Miracle ($1,489,462) and Texas Classic Futurity(G1) winner Sure Shot B ($573,548) to name only a few.
Another daughter, Hidden Dragon, is the dam of Zula Dragon, the leading first crop sire of 2016 who got his first stakes winner last weekend when Running Dragon won the RG2 $297,925 New Mexican Spring Futurity at Sunland Park.
A son of Streakin Six, Dean Miracle was exported to Brazil a few years ago.
Tres Seis continues to be among the industry's leading sires each year.
