Art's Conquest was the first son of the incomparable Artsplace to begin his stallion career in Illinois. He won 1999's $500,000 New Jersey Classic in a stakes and season's record 1:50 flat; the $400,000 Hoosier Cup; as well as an elimination of the Messenger and two NJSS. He has defeated such great racehorses as Island Fantasy, Grinfromeartoear and Royalflush Hanover. He was also a stakes winner as a 2-year-old with 6 wins in 8 starts and a freshman record of 1:53.2. He has lifetime earnings of $880,576.

From his first five crops to the races Art's Conquest has sired the winners of almost $8,000,000.  He has 126 2:00 performers with 65 of of them in 1:55 or better from only 189 starters, with 22 $100,000 winners among them.  In 2007 Booze Cruzin was the dominant three year old pacing colt in Illinois.  He won the Windy City Pace, the Cardinal, the Dudley Hanover, the Master Shawn, the Horsemen, multiple ISOBA stakes and was second in the American National.  His seasonal summary in 25 starts was 11-6-2 with three year old earnings of $350,677 on his way to winning divisional honors in Illinois.  Art's Conquest has a pair of Orange & Blue Filly champions to his credit - Sounds Of Silence (p,2,1:53 $145,303) in 2004 and World Champion Arie's Conquest (p,2,1:52.4 $308,278) in 2003.  Art's Conquest is the sire of Undeniably You (p,3,1:51.3 $174,965) the winner of the 2004 Grandma Ann who was also named 2004 Illinois Three Year Old Pacing Filly of the Year. Bolero Tallia (p,3,1:53.1h-'07 $162,639) is one of the top fillies in Canada, and he has sired tough race mares like Harmony Oaks Quest (p,4,1:51.2 $183,700) and hard knocking race mares like Nasti Nicki (p,4,1:53.3 $113,514), Chevie Pride (p,3,1:53 - '04 $109,366),  and Creative Lass (p,3,1:51.4 $87,462).

Art's Conquest is not just a filly sire though.  Booze Cruzin (p,3,1:51-'07 $$389,787) ended up with an even better season than the ill-fated USTA Horse of the Month for March 2007 - Crawdad (p,4,1:49.4-'07 $210,541). Art's Conquest also has top horses like Coldheartedrevenge (p,5,1:49.2-'06 $636,693), Live Out Loud (p,4,1:49.4-'05 $551,496),Cam's Conqueror (p,4,1:50.2-'06 $292,769), Too Much Gun (p,4,1:51.3 - '05 $230,551),  Chevie Winner (p,4,1:50.1-'05 $213,181),  Art's Ticket (p,4,1:50.3-'05 $175,768), Brian And Kellie (p,4,1:49.4-'06 $163,402), Mandala Quest (p,5,1:50-'07 $160,391), Crazy Art (p,3,1:52.1 - '04 $157,646), Art's Mouse (p,4,1:50.0-'06 $122,302), Mystical Tenor (p,3,1:51.4 - '05 $129,719), Exactorman (p,5,1:52.4f - '06, $153,837), etc  and  also to his credit.

In 2007 Art's Conquest three year olds averaged $19,029 in earnings - making him the 14th ranked sire in North America...and the runaway Illinois leader in that category.

"Art's Conquest was just like a machine to drive. He was very consistent from week to week. He had all the qualities of a top horse— high speed, a good head, just a perfect horse to drive. A lot of horses have either speed, or the ability to grind. Art's Conquest had speed, but he could also carry his speed a long ways. The night he was third in the Meadowlands Pace, he came from last, and paced his last quarter in :25.4. He won several times from the first-over spot at the Meadowlands and that is still very rare. I think he should make an excellent stallion. He had no faults as a racehorse."
