Rendezvous
1993 Chestnut Thoroughbred Stallion 16.3hh
Checkpoint (Quack x Bold Gilette) x Glamourized (Mr. Prospector x Ideal Miss)
Alyssa's write up:
"Duke" is Momentum's most successful race producing sire to date. Although he never raced himself (but had a successful CCI**** eventing career), he is proving to be a great sire of racers, living vicariously through his progeny to prove his racing greatness. His first racing offspring, IVY SEASON, was a GI racer who placed 3rd overall in the Triple Crown - an impressive feat for a filly in a colt-dominated field! He has also produced HF's 2006 Eclipse Award 3YO Male, SS BREAKING POINT, as well as multiple G1 winners. In fact, as of the beginning of 2007, every known foal of his to race has become a G1 winner, a feat not many other stallions can claim!
Created in 1997, Duke has existed in SIM for 10 years now, another impressive feat. At the time, he was brought along as a sporthorse, and a racing career was never considered (as I wasn't involved in it at that time). He is a proven competitor and sire. He is an Olympic level eventer (he placed 5th in the 2004 Olympics, just a fraction of a point from medaling) whose entire training has taken place under Alyssa, owner of Elm Park Eventers (part of Ivia International Sporthorses).
Duke has also proven himself a noteworthy sire of both sporthorses and racers alike. He has proven to cross well with warmblood and Thoroughbred mares to produce eventers and showjumpers, primarily. We would like to get him approved for some warmblood studbooks someday if possible, as he has proven his impressive ability to pass desirable personality, conformation, and athleticism onto his offspring. He is the Ivia stallion most likely to earn the phrase, "improvement sire" - all his foals have been more stunning and talented than even we (as his love-struck owners) could have imagined.
Duke's sire, CHECKPOINT, is not a RL stallion.
Duke's dam, GLAMOURIZED, is not a RL horse, either. She is a daughter of MR. PROSPECTOR, who is known for producing stakes winners and is especially renowned as a broodmare sire for black type racers. Her dam is IDEAL MISS, who is not a RL horse either. IDEAL MISS is a daughter of DYNAFORMER, a GII winner and 2003 leading sire of GI stakes winners.
Mine:
As a racing sire Rendezvous has proven himself to be quite the catch. His first foal to hit the track , Ivy Season was a graded stakes runner who ended up 3rd Overall in the HA 2001 Triple Crown, an impressive feat for a filly in a colt-dominated field. Duke also sired M&V Intimate,winner of the Santa Maria Handicap (GI).
2003 to date was Duke's finest breeding year, after siring SS Breaking Point and The Duke's Secret TME .
SS Breaking Point is a tall chestnut colt that won both Dubai World Cup and the Breeders' Cup Classic. He retired after winning a grand total of $5,693,700.
The Duke's Secret TME , another chestnut but this time smaller and of the female variety. This filly showed much of her talent running on the Turf , making Duke a champion sire for any surface. The Duke's Secret TME won the 2007 $5,000,000 GIT DUBAI DUTY FREE,
2007 £250,000 GI Coronation Cup, 2007 $250,000 GIT Clement L. Hirsch T. Championship and ran third in two Breeder Cup races.
As of the beginning of 2007, every known foal of his to race has become a G1 winner, a feat not many other stallions can claim!
