eBay GOLD RUSH ~ HOW MR. PROSPECTOR BECAME RACING’S BILLION-DOLLAR SIRE by Avalyn Hunter Copyright 2007 224 pages Stated FIRST EDITION Hardcover with dustjacket. Experienced Book Seller ~ Fast, Secure shipping in a Bubble Mailer or Priority Mail packaging. SYNOPSIS: Mr. Prospector showed early brilliance as a speedster on the racetrack, but nothing could have prepared the horse racing world for the spectacular progenitor he would become. By the time of his death at age 29 in 1999, Mr. Prospector had led the U.S. sire list twice (with his sons and daughters earning more than $16 million) and had led the broodmare sire list twice. He has since led the broodmare sire list seven more times. He sired 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, who sold for $4 million as a yearling and was syndicated for stud duty for $70 million. Respected pedigree expert Avalyn Hunter looks at Mr. Prospector and his incredible impact on the American Thoroughbred. FROM THE DUSTJACKET: The morning after the 1973 Florida Derby, one name had the racing world astir, and it wasn’t even a horse that had run in the feature – rather one that had raced on the undercard in a $3,100 allowance. Mr. Prospector had gone out and manhandled the nine-horse field, running the six furlongs in 1:07 4/5, setting a Gulfstream Park record and just missing the world record by two fifths of a second. And he hadn’t been pushed in the least. The bay streak was something much more than ordinary; that much was very clear from the start. But it wasn’t on the racetrack that this son of Raise a Native out of Gold Digger would end up proving his mettle. There would be no trophies from major stakes races. His legs battered by repeated injuries, he would limp away from racing to a modest place as a stallion at his owner’s Florida farm. It was there that Mr. Prospector proved he was far and away anything but common. Even the Florida market proved too meager for the talented sire, who was purchased, in part, by Claiborne Farm and moved to Kentucky. By the time of his death at age twenty-nine in 1999, Mr. Prospector had lead the U.S. sire list twice – with his sons and daughters earning more than $16 million – and had led the broodmare sire list twice. His stud fee started at a mere $7,500 and at its height reached $250,000. Posthumously he has grown as a legend. Since his death he has led the broodmare sire list seven more times. He sired 2000 Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus, who sold for $4 million as a yearling and was syndicated for stud duty for $70 million.
