Dance With Ravens is a gorgeous light bay TB stallion with excellent conformation and a beautiful refined head. He has recently started racing and is already making a lot of progress. Dance With Ravens shows lots of speed and always performs as a star.
Dance With Ravens was sired by A.P. Indy®, a very nice bay stallion with many winnings. A.P. Indy won the Breeder's Cup Classic G1, Belmont Stakes G1, Santa Anita Derby G1, Hollywood Futurity G1, San Rafael Stakes G2, the Peter Pan Stakes G2 and many more races. A.P. Indy was the 1992 Horse Of The Year as well as the Eclipse Champion Three Year Old Male! He was inducted in the Hall Of Fame in 2000, and today his offspring continue to do well on the track. A.P. Indy sired horses like Malibu Moon®, Rags To Riches®, Pulpit® and Stephen Got Even®. A.P. Indy's sire was the amazing Seattle Slew®. Seattle Slew won many G1 and G2 races, including the Belmont Stakes G1, Preakness Stakes G1, Kentucky Derby G1, Wood Memorial G1 and many more. He was the 1977 Horse Of The Year and Champion Three Year Old. Seattle Slew won the Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont) while still undefeated and he was the only horse ever to defeat another Triple Crown Winner (Affirmed, in the 1978 Marlboro Cup H.). He was inducted in the Hall Of Fame in 1981 and became the Leading Sire of 1984. A.P Indy's dam was the gorgeous mare Weekend Surprise®. She won the Schuylerville Stakes G3, Golden Rod StakesG3 and the Pocahontas Stakes. Her sire was the legendary Secretariat®. Secretariat won too many races to list here, but his most important wins were: Kentucky Derby G1, Preakness Stakes G1, Belmont Stakes G1 and the Man O' War Stakes G1. He became the 1972 Champion Two Year Old and Horse Of The Year. Then, the year after that, he became the 1973 Horse Of The Year and Champion Three Year Old as well as Champion Turf Horse. On top of that, he set the World Record of 2:24 for 12 furlongs on dirt, winning the Belmont Stakes by 31 lenghts! A.P. Indy's lines go back to Bold Ruler®, Hail To Reason®, Buckpasser®, War Admiral®, Man O' War® and Nasrullah®.
Dance With Ravens' dam was the beautiful mare Dance Smartly®. Dance Smartly won a lot of races, including the Natalma Stakes G2, Breeders' Cup Distaff G1, Molson Export Million Stakes G2, Breeders' Stakes G1, Prince of Wales Stakes G1, Queen's Plate Stakes, Canadian Oaks, Selene Stakes, Star Shoot Stakes and the Canadian Maturity Stakes. She won the Canadian Triple Crown and became the 1991 Canadian Horse Of The Year & Champion Three Year Old Filly! She was inducted in the Canadian Hall Of Fame in 1995; then also in the USA Hall Of Fame in 2003. Dance Smartly's total earnings were $3,263,835! Her sire was Danzig®, a beautiful stallion that was only raced 3 times (with 3 wins!) and then had to be retired due to knee injuries. Danzig sired more than 200 individual Stakes Winners and 21 Champion colts and fillies! Some of his greatest offspring were Chief's Crown®, Danehill®, Dayjur® and Bianconi®. Dance Smartly's lines go back to Smarten®, Northern Dancer®, War Admiral®, Man O' War®, Sir Gallahad® and Native Dancer®.
Dance With Ravens has an amazing pedigree and will surely make an excellent stud to any mare. His foals will very likely inherit his speed, stamina and nice looks.
