About the horse

Catalog No. 11: KEPT STERN, stallion, for sale at MenhammarOnlineSales on August 16.

Maharajah pairs exceptionally well with most dams, but with Ready Cash as the sire, we’re looking at seven millionaires. Among them is the hugely talented three-year-old Grosbois, who won the Breeders’ Course final during the Elitlopp weekend, and the cross is the same for Kept Stern.

Hilde Smart, a daughter of Ready Cash, made her racing debut as a three-year-old but had a short racing career. Her first offspring, Headstrong, has four wins and a record time of 1:12.8. Hilde Smart combines the best of French and American bloodlines, and her maternal line has been extremely successful on both sides of the Atlantic. The line traces back to Promissory, the dam of Florida Pro, and Promissory has established her own successful stallion line, including General November, Dust All Over, and Formula One—though the list could go on much longer.
