One billion in progeny earnings! Is it a reality? Yes sir, stunning and sure is!

There is no denying the influence of Mach Three and Somebeachsomewhere on the studbook.

The incredible and prolific influence in the harness racing breeding world of the great stallion Mach Three, his sons, especially Somebeachsomewhere, his grandsons, especially Captaintreacherous, and their progeny earnings combined, are mind-blowing and hard to imagine. They’re 100% real!

Who would’ve ever thought what Mach Three, his sons and grand sons progeny could have achieved so much? A billion dollars in progeny earnings. Incredible! A casual glimpse at the North American money list for 2024 will tell you Somebeachsomewhere has seven sons and one grandson in the top 20 on the 2yo money list. He has a further four sons and one grandson inside the top 20 on the 3yo money list.

When you look at the table below showing the progeny earnings of Mach Three, Somebeachsomewhere, Captaintreacherous and their sons at stud, it might be the greatest example in any era of a stallion line furthering itself to greatness. A combined $829,644,508 in earnings across the three jurisdictions.

And when you factor in their broodmare sire earnings, this figure would easily exceed $1billion in stake money.

Here is some information on the great Mach Three and Somebeachsomewhere and their impact on the breeding world!
