A 'TDN Rising Star', Speightster won his first three career races, including a defeat of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile hero Texas Red (Afleet Alex) in the GIII Dwyer S. and entered stud in 2017 at his owner's WinStar Farm. From two crops of racing age, Speightster is the sire of 90 winners–including 70 from his initial crop to the races–and five black-type winners. Among them were Dreaming of Drew and Aubrieta, both of which won stakes races at Woodbine.

Canadian Thoroughbred reported that Speightster, who was purchased to stand in the province by Jay and Christine Hayden, has been the subject of great interest from local breeders since his acquisition was announced last month.

Speightster's female family includes Sam-Son Fam luminaries Smart Strike and Dance Smartly, among others.
