Smooth Jazz Among Top Stallions in Pennsylvania
12/07/09
Smooth Jazz's recent move to Ghost Ridge Farm might be a welcome change for the stallion by Storm Boot. The Pennsylvania market has been drawing attention thanks to a perceived strong breeding incentives and lucrative racing, and Smooth Jazz would seem to fit the market. Blessed with great speed, as his 0 (zero) Ragozin and 117 Beyer Speed Figure will attest, Smooth Jazz is a viable option for breeders who send their mares to foal in Pennsylvania and who are looking for a stallion for their mares to breed back to. He is a solid option because he has proven from small crops that he can have a big horse. His best runner is millionaire Smooth Air. Smooth Air is a multiple Grade-2 winner who has won at distances from 5 furlongs to 1 - 1/8th mile. Aside from having the bib runner, Smooth Jazz is among the best stallions by percentage of repeat winners. The new kid on the block leads the top 15 Pennsylvania stallions with a 62% rate of repeat winners, this according to Bloodhorse.com statistics from November 21, 2009.
