Yaupon continues to pace the 2025 freshman sire standings with 18 winners from 73 starts, maintaining his advantage over the chasing pack. The son of Uncle Mo has established himself as the clear leader with an impressive 24.7% win rate that ranks among the best in the class.

Rock Your World had a productive week with three winners, Star Sweeper at Parx on Saturday, Miss Fulton Gal at Delaware Park on Thursday and American Taylor at Louisiana Downs on Wednesday. The former Kentucky Derby runner is now fourth in the standings with 11 victories from 66 starters. He stands at Spendthrift Farm in Kentucky for a $5,000 stud fee.

Recent winners

Seven freshman sires registered winners in the last week, led by Rock Your World's three victories. Yaupon added Arctic Beast to his tally with a victory at Finger Lakes on Monday, and Charlatan scored with Fitz Right at the Meadowlands on Saturday.

Maxfield picked up his 12th winner as Englishman broke through at Churchill Downs on Friday with the fastest HRN speed figure for the son of a freshman sire. Englishman's 129 is among the best of the 2-year-old class.

Son of Thunder, a full brother to late sire Laoban, recorded his first winner Sept. 16 at Presque Isle Downs. The 2-year-old filly Miss Moxee is a New York-bred trained by Linda Rice for Pine Ridge Racing. Son of Thunder stood the 2022 breeding season at Waldorf Farm in New York for a $2,500 fee. At some point since then, however, Son of Thunder was gelded, so this is his one mention for the record in bloodstock journalism.
