City of Light is a four-time G1 winner with tremendous speed and an outstanding physical. He stamped himself as one of the best middle-distance runners in the world with his 5 ¾-length romp in the G1 Pegasus World Cup and his win in G1 Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile. He's the winner of three graded stakes races in a row: the Malibu S. (G1) in his stakes debut, the Triple Bend S. (G1) and the Oaklawn H. (G2). He has over $5,600,000 in earnings to his name.City of Light is the best son to date of Lane's End's Quality Road, a top ten general sire. City of Light hails from the female family of Grade 1-winning millionaires Cacoethes, Subordination, and Careless Jewel. City of Light made an impact at the sales with multiple seven-figure yearling sales and over 120 six-figure yearling sales across his first three crops to go through the ring.2023 proved to be a breakout year for City of Light's runners. City of Light sired three 2023 TDN Risings, as well as multiple black type winner Mimi Kakushi who was victorious in the G3 UAE Oaks and the UAE 1000 Guineas, multiple stakes winner Eye Witness, and stakes winners Gaslight Dancer, Chop Chop, Sendero, Lights of Broadway, etc. His 2023 runners are highlighted by TDN Rising Star and G1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Fierceness. Who registered the highest Beyer for 2YO in 2023, with a 105 for his Breeders' Cup victory which led to him being named Champion 2YO Male. Fierceness's success continues into his three-year-old season with wins in the Florida Derby (G1), Travers S. (G1) and Jim Dandy S. (G2). Other 2024 GSWs include Chop Chop, Mentee, Battle of Normandy and Formidable Man.
Campaigned by Jon Ebbert's Blue Rose Farm and trained by Jena Antonucci, Arcangelo has remained undefeated since breaking his maiden in March, 2023 in a 1-mile Gulfstream Park MSW by 3 1/2 lengths.He prevailed in the G3 Peter Pan S. at Belmont Park, edging out favorite Bishops Bay, earning a 97 Beyer in his stakes debut. He then followed in the path of A. P. Indy and Tonalist by annexing the G1 Belmont Stakes defeating five G1 winners, including Champion Two-Year-Old Forte. Arcangelo earned a 102 Beyer - the highest of the year for a three-year-old in the country at 1 1/2 miles on dirt. Arcangelo followed up his break-out performance in the Belmont with a win in the G1 Travers at Saratoga, just like his sire Arrogate, boosting his career earnings to $1,754,900. Defeating both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winners, he earned a 105 Beyer, the top figure for a three-year-old at 1 1/4 miles. This performance propelled him to being naming Eclipse Champion Three-Year-Old Male.By Champion Arrogate, the sire of 5 G1 winners in his brief career at stud. His dam Modeling, by Tapit, was a $2.85 million Keeneland November broodmare purchase. Modeling is a half-sister to Streaming, winner of the G1 Hollywood Starlet S.

Liam's Map is the sire of Grade 1 winners Basin, Hopeful S. (G1) and Arkansas Derby (G1), Colonel Liam, back-to-back editions of thePegasus World Cup Turf (G1) and Turf Classic S. (G1), Wicked Whisper, Frizette S. (G1) and Juju's Map, Alcibiades S. (G1).Not only do these top-level successes rank Liam's Map among the best young sires, it puts him alongside some of America's top stallions in history. Both Basin and Wicked Whisper hail from the first-crop of Liam's Map and since 1983, just eight other first-crop stallions have sired two Grade 1 winners, with only Danzig and Uncle Mo having sired both Grade 1 fillies and colts. An elite group of just five other stallions have sired winners of both the G1 Frizette and the G1 Hopeful—A.P. Indy, Storm Cat, Mr. Prospector, Bold Ruler, and Nasrullah.His success continued in 2024 with MGSWs Roses for Debra, Deterministic and Starting Over. Roses for Debra went on to top the Keeneland November Sale selling for $2,400,000. He saw 40 $150,000+ yearling sales, with a top price of $700,000.An $800,000 Keeneland September yearling, Liam's Map is out of the stakes-winning Trippi mare Miss Macy Sue, and is a half-brother to graded winner Not This Time and black-type winner Taylor S. Liam's Map's pedigree carries only one cross of Northern Dancer in the sixth generation, so his pedigree will be an ideal outcross for mares inbred to Northern Dancer. Since Liam's Map's pedigree largely consists of horses bred by or based on pedigrees of horses bred by John Nerud, it should also be beneficial to emphasize female families associated with Nerud other than Aspidistra.(UPDATED FEB 1, 2025)
