Announces Leaders For South Pacific Memorial Award
|
Iron
Spring Farm’s Consul (Nimmerdor –Waloniki, by Purioso)
leads the mid-year rankings for the South Pacific Memorial Award
in 2003. Consul is ranked 12th overall with progeny earnings of
$63,818. Top earner among Consul’s six jumper offspring is
his stallion son Judgement (Consul – Faletta, by Akteur),
bred and owned by Mary Alice Malone’s Iron Spring Farm. Thoroughbred
Aly Dark (Alydar – Moonlight Jig, by Jig Time) is ranked
second due entirely to the $41,108.54 YTD earnings of Kenly Farms’
homebred Bradford. Ocean II, a gelded son of South Pacific out
of the Ramzes daughter Renee, currently ranks third with progeny
earnings of $37,297.18. Ocean II is owned by Joan Irvine Smith’s
granddaughter Nathalie Cooper and his full brother Ocean I stands
at The Oaks.
The
South Pacific Memorial Award recognizes the top ranked U.S.-based
sire of show jumpers and was created by Joan Irvine Smith of The
Oaks, in memory of her flagship stallion South Pacific (Silvester
– Kamera, by Cor de la Bryere). Inaugural winner in 2002
was Hamilton Farms’ Galoubet A (Alme’ – Viti, by
Nystag), inarguably among the world’s leading sires of show
jumpers including 3-time World Cup Champion Baloubet du Rouet.
The
South Pacific Memorial Award will be presented in January during
the Pegasus Awards Dinner held during the 2004 US Equestrian Annual
Meeting in Los Angeles, CA, January 14 – 18, 2004. To be
considered, a stallion must be based in the United States and
at least 75% of the progeny earnings must be from offspring born
in North America.
