The pedigree for this Valley Victor son is loaded with speed: 23 stallions with sub-1:59 times: Valley Victory, Superbowl, Baltic Speed, Power Seat, Star’s Price (3×4), Florida Pro (3×4), Speedy Somoli, Bonefish, Arnie Almahurst (4x4x5), Rodney, Speedy Crown (5×5), Spencer Scot, and Hickory Smoke. New Balance showed terrific promise before an injury interrupted his racing career, and he was purchased by Albert Jeffers for Mary Lea Jeffers Farm at the end of 2008.
Standing his second season, this Valley Victor son shows every sign of being a sensational sire like his father; his first crop are yearlings this year. Trainer Lavern Hostetler said of him, “Smoothest-gaited horse I ever sat behind — like driving a Cadillac!”
