A sweep of the first installment of the New York Stallion Stakes Series by progeny of Freud (Franny Freud and General Maximus), not to mention a 1-2-3 finish for his offspring in the Park Avenue Division, certainly got the attention of Elaine Belval, Senior Pedigree Analyst at Werk Thoroughbred Consultants, Inc., one of the oracles in thoroughbred pedigree analysis.
In an article which appeared on Saturday in the “Who’s Hot, Who’s Not” section of the company’s website (“Freud’s Dream Weekend”), Belval had nothing but praise for Freud’s continuing success as a sire – and eye-catching statistics to back that praise up.
