BROADWAY EXPRESS
If you're looking for proven
reliability and year-in, year-out production in a pacing stallion, look no
further than Broadway Express. He's the stallion that helped propel Cottonwood Farm to
the front of the Illinois breeding scene... although he has slowed down in the
breeding shed his fillies have become coveted broodmares and Broadway Express
continues to impact the Illinois breeding program.
Broadway Express has sired 321 in
2:00, 75 in 1:55, 48 $100,000 winners, and his offspring have accumulated
earnings of nearly $20,000,000. As a broodmare sire he has 243 in 2:00,
103 in 1:55, 42 $100,000 winners and earnings over $15,000,000.
When you consider he's the sire
of all-time Illinois greats like Broadway Preview p,1:52.3 ($631,300),
Bingo Johnnie p,1:51.4 ($541,559), AJ's Dad p,3,1:54 ($476,168),
Broadway Spirit p,3,1:51.2 ($444,786), Tough On Top p,2,1:52
($378,608) and Skipalong Misty p,2,1:53 ($200,155), and the broodmare
sire of top horses like Sports Fantasy p,6,1:49.4 ($371,111), Enemy At The Gate p,3,1:49.2 ($319,624),
Only Choice p,4,1:50.1 ($288,644), Beretta Hall p,3,1:51
($287,099),
Definitely Maybe p,3,1:50.3 ($284,005), Hot And Sporty p,2,1:50.2
($249,739),
Diamond Man p,3,1:50.4 ($159,460), etc. it is easy to understand his
enduring popularity. It is also no surprise that top fillies like Parklane Powerful p,2,1:55; 1:49.3 ($798,556), Oneinamilliongirl p,2,1:53; 1:51.1 ($617,159),
Apple Of My Eye p,3,1:50.3 ($442,126) and Dreams Made Real
p,2,1:52.3 ($170,436) are all out of Broadway Express dams. It's no wonder he's a
three-time "Pacing Stallion of the Year" and a member of the IHHA Hall of
Fame!
