Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Northview Stallion Station Paces Keystone State By Incentive Earnings
Northview Stallion Station's Pennsylvania division may no longer be in operation, but its presence is still felt in a big way through the state's stallion owner incentive program earnings.
Northview PA ended stallion operations at its Peach Bottom, Pa., location and consolidated its roster to its Maryland branch at the end of the 2020 breeding season, or moved the horses to other farms in Pennsylvania. However, its $197,039 in stallion owner awards through the end of July was nearly three times that of next-closest WynOaks Farm with $68,601.
Stallion owners in Pennsylvania receive a 10 percent bonus of the purse share earned when a registered Pennsylvania-bred by a Pennsylvania stallion finishes in the top three at an in-state racetrack.
Northview accounts for three of the top six stallions by incentive earnings, including the runaway leader, Jump Start.
The late son of A.P. Indy generated $91,829 in stallion awards through the end of July, led by stakes winner Hey Mamaluke, who made his sire $7,275 at the cutoff point. Jump Start's second-highest stallion award earner, and his top filly, was two-time winner Amen Sylvia, who made $5,761 for her stallion in the time frame.
Another departed stallion accounted for Northview's second-highest incentive earning stallion, and the state's third-highest overall.
El Padrino, who died in 2017, has generated $50,625 in stallion incentive awards, led by Prince of Rain. The 4-year-old gelding put up $11,459 on behalf of his sire, highlighted by a debut maiden score at Penn National, allowance wins at Penn National and Parx Racing, and a third-place effort in the Banjo Picker Sprint Stakes at Parx.
Rounding out the top trio was young sire Uncle Lino, who has brought in $29,700 through stallion awards, placing him sixth overall.
The 8-year-old son of Uncle Mo's top stallion incentive earner was Marvalous Mike, whose $12,536 in stallion bonuses was the third-most of any Pennsylvania-bred. He reached that level with a three-race winning streak at Parx, first winning a maiden special weight, then taking an optional claiming race and an allowance race. Marvalous Mike most recently finished second in the Parx Summer Sprint Stakes.

Horse Racing’s Field of Dreams
We are in the era of the event. I'm told younger generations expect more from sports. They don't just want to watch the game, they want to consume it – and more importantly, they want to engage in it. If horse racing is to continue to modernize to suit the tastes of the Tik Tok generation, then it must be willing to go places where other sports are currently thriving. It's time to take this show on the road.
