The unrivaled, most powerful stallion dictionary, 2013-2014 edition!
In 2024, Kizuna, a direct descendant of sire Deep Impact, became the first horse in history to become the leading sire for three generations.
In 2025, Kizuna, Lord Kanaloa, Epiphaneia, Kitasan Black and others will continue to compete for the title of the next leading sire.
In line with the major reforms to the dirt tracks of Japanese horse racing, strong dirt racers have emerged, led by Forever Young, and it seems as if a major change is also coming to the world of stallion rankings.

In addition to beautiful photos of stallions and five-generation pedigree charts, the book also contains a wealth of information that will be useful when considering betting, such as racing data for offspring.
