J P's Gusto's win in the Hollywood Juvenile vaulted Successful Appeal into first place among sires of 2yos (list). Successful Appeal was champion freshman sire in 2004, ahead of Giant's Causeway, More Than Ready, and Yes It's True, and has throughout his career thrown precocious 2yos. He is also one of the few sires whose male line traces back to the great Man O'War. Truxton mare Aunt Dot Dot is pregnant to him from an April 17th cover.

Giacomo has plunged to 6th place on the first crop sires list and 31st among sires of 2yos. He has only had five runners to date as compared with 18 for leader Bluegrass Cat.
