2012 indicates the strength of the Raise A Native sire line, a sire line that has generated 18 Derby winners since 1969 when Majestic Prince became the first winner carrying the RAN sire line.In the 2012 Derby there were 6 horses that carried the RAN sire line and the four of them filled out the superfecta, I'll Have Another, Bodemeister, Dullahan, and Went the Day Well.
Raise A Native sire line horses are outperforming their opportunities in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes. It is what it is: The RAN sire line is the best in the Triple Crown races (all three of them). Do you know how many RAN sire line horses won the Belmont since 1995. The answer is 13. Thats 13 out of the last 17 or 76%. Those figures speak loud and clear in favor of this sire line over all others.
