Waterloo is a seven year old son of Le Dauphin Noir (himself a son of Conduit) and is out of the blue henniest of blue hen mares, Banner, making him a half brother to such notables as Atlas and Everest. Waterloo has won graded stakes every year he has been racing except for his two year old season, in which he finished 2nd in a grade one. Note that that means he has graded stakes wins at three, four, five, six, AND seven. Out of his last 22 starts, he has only lost four times. He has won stakes all the way from a very short 1 1/8 miles to a grueling 2 1/2 miles. He has, so far, won every race he's run in this year as a seven year old. Waterloo is currently the #1 ranked horse in the SIM (I will concede that has a lot to do with the length of time he's had to earn points).
If you're looking for a true router who will provide you with years of racing fun, Waterloo is the way to go! He'll be retiring at the end of the year with a stud fee in the $30k to $35k range. Note his significant relatives:
Sire Le Dauphin Noir was a European Horse of the Year.
Grandsire Conduit is in the Hall of Fame and is one of the premiere sires, sires of sires, and broodmare sires in the SIM, on both dirt and turf.
Dam Banner was a European Horse of the Year and Broodmare of the Year and is the dam of:
Pennant, champion dam of millionaires Pendant, Pentagon, Riveting, and Streamer.
Atlas, the SIM's leading money earner
Map, champion dam of Japanese Oaks winner Geography
Siren, dam of graded stakes winner End of the World
Chart, a graded stakes winner on dirt and turf
Everest, European Horse of the Year and winner of the English Triple Crown
Bongo, a champion with four grade one wins.
Waterloo, described above
Calafia, a multiple graded stakes winner
Watchglass, a stakes winner whose first foal has shown a very promising turf work
Trafalgar, who ran a speed figure of 90 in his last race
As you can see, this family is pretty darn awesome. Unfortunately Trafalgar is the last one.
Anyway, I hope I provided enough evidence that Waterloo is da bomb. See for yourself:
(Of course that is Waterloo! Why would you doubt Breyer would make a model of him?)
