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.

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Jump Start Remains On Top By Stallion Incentive Earnings

Pennsylvania's stallion ranks have seen one name dominate the top of the list over the past decade, and that hasn't changed for the late stalwart Jump Start in 2021.

Jump Start sits atop the standings by Pennsylvania stallion incentive earnings through July 31 with $91,829, well ahead of second-place Weigelia at $68,601.

Pennsylvania stallion awards are generated from 10 percent of the purse share earned when a registered Pennsylvania-bred and -sired runner finishes first, second, or third in any pari-mutuel race in the state. Over $615,000 in stallion awards had been awarded through July 2021.

What makes Jump Start's leading margin so impressive is that he's done it so far with a consistent group of runners, as opposed to one standout doing most of the heavy lifting.

Jump Start's leading earner of stallion awards through July 31 was Hey Mamaluke, whose $7,275 in awards for his sire was the eighth-most in the state.

The 5-year-old jumped to the top of the list for his sire in his seasonal debut on June 22, a visually impressive triumph in the Power By Far Stakes at Parx Racing. Hey Mamaluke races as a homebred for Joe Capriglione, and he's trained by Patricia Farro.

Jump Start's second-highest stallion award earner, and his top filly, was Amen Sylvia, who made $5,761 for her stallion in the time frame.

A 5-year-old homebred for Lydee D. Shea, Amen Sylvia finished in the top three in five races at Penn National through the end of July, including a maiden special weight victory in May, and an allowance score in July.

Jump Start, a Grade 2-winning son of A.P. Indy, began his stallion career at Overbrook Farm in Kentucky, then relocated to Ghost Ridge Farm in Felton, Pa., for the 2010 breeding season. He was moved to Northview PA in Peach Bottom, Pa., in 2012, all the while also establishing himself as a top sire in Argentina during the Southern Hemisphere breeding seasons, and he was euthanized in 2019 due to complications from colitis.

If Jump Start can hold on to the lead by stallion earnings for the rest of the year, it will be his seventh consecutive year at the top of the chart, and his eighth in a row finishing second or better.

Pennsylvania Leaderboard Presented By Pennsylvania Horse Breeders Association: Ninetypercentbrynn Didn’t Need Stakes Starts To Earn Awards

On the board in each of her first seven starts this year, 3-year-old filly Ninetypercentbrynn is putting together an impressive resume among her fellow Pennsylvania-breds.

The 3-year-old daughter of Weigelia collected a total of $69,700 for her connections via her state-bred and state-sired status through the end of June, in addition to the $117,700 she earned on the racetrack, all without ever starting in a stakes race in that span of time.

Racing for owner-breeder LC Racing, Ninetypercentbrynn's 2021 campaign has improved with every passing month. The Robert Reid, Jr. trainee broke her maiden in her sixth start of the year, seventh overall, and immediately wheeled back to win a first-level allowance race by six lengths.

Ninetypercentbrynn's incentive earning potential was multi-pronged, as a horse both bred in the state and sired by one of its residents.

She earned $39,950 in breeder's awards, which in her case paid out 50 percent of purse earnings for her initial six top-three finishes, then 40 percent for her allowance victory. Ninetypercentbrynn also earned $21,760 in owner's bonuses, a 40 percent bonus based on her races occurring at Parx in Bensalem, Penn.

The $7,990 Ninetypercentbrynn earned in stallion awards contributed to Weigelia's total of $50,896 on the year, good for second overall in the standings. The stallion's primary earner, Beren, earned $15,349 of Weigelia's total through the end of June.
