Breeding in New Brunswick - The Best of All-Time

CLINTON DEBRIEFED
 

A couple of weeks ago we looked some of the greatest horses of all-time at Fredericton Raceway.

This time around it's a closer look at breeding in New Brunswick and who are some the most accomplished horses and breeders in the province.  With a lot of help from harness racing guru Patrick Eastwood of Saint John, we look at Breeding in New Brunswick - The Best of All Time.

At the end of this blog you will find an extensive list of old breeding farms in New Brunswick and stallions that once stood at some of those farms which complied by Patrick.



Top 7 Maritime-bred pacing horses and geldings by New Brunswick breeders - by lifetime record

1:50.2s   Kickin’ Up Dirt      Breeder: Robert Hume, Hay Settlement      
1:50.4f   Untouchable One      Breeder: Cheryl Geldart Greer, Norton
1:51.0s   You’re Going Down      Breeder: Milton Downey, Saint John
1:51.2f   Clinton Debriefed      Breeder: Hugh Baird, Hampton

1:51.2m   Jaguar Knight       Breeder: Thomas McMaster, Saint John
1:51.4f   Sun Vals Thunder      Breeder: Johannes Wuhrman, Mount Hebron

Kickin’ Up Dirt and You’re Going Down are by Drop Off while Untouchable One (Carlspur), Clinton Debriefed (Quick Comeback), Chatham Hoochee (Chatham Light), Jaguar Knight (Knightly Blue Chip) and Sun Vals Thunder (Largo) are 100% “New Brunswick-bred,” which for this purpose means that both stallion and broodmare were from New Brunswick at the time of breeding.

Alfred Moeller dominates this list with all but Honey Do Jigtime, Scootin For Joy and Some Nice Ketch by stallions that stood at Moeller’s Charlotte Ranch at the time of breeding. Largo sired two performers, Charlottes Trick and Cookies Lighting. Knightly Blue Chip was the sire of Spudland Sierra and Sherwood Abe sired Charlottes Abby. Some Nice Ketch was sired by Willow Bird.

Is Clinton Debriefed the greatest horse ever produced in New Brunswick?

Here is one more notable fact for New Brunswick. Bayside Katfish (Knight Champ-Bayside Empress), who was raised at Johnny Rae’s farm in Dumfries, is the winningest New Brunswick horse in the modern era with 86 lifetime wins. Next on the list is Galen Dempsey’s homebred Laurels Curly (Crafty Shadow-Star News) with 81.
