The Versatility of The Factor

He was the leading third- and fourth-crop stallion, and he's currently leading the way among fifth-crop stallions. The Factor, one of the top sons of War Front, scores high on the General Sires list, outpacing stallions at a multiple of his price.

The Factor is a stallion with a really interesting profile: he was the star of the first crop of War Front and he's worked his way through a tough group to become the champion third-crop sire and then the champion fourth-crop sire, he's also had a year in Japan.

Bill Farish of Lane's End elaborates, “His pedigree is one of the things that attracted us to him the most. I mean, you know, being a son of War Front, Northern Dancer line with Mr. Prospector on the bottom, you just can't get a better cross in that. Historically speaking. I mean he's just, he's bred in the pink as they say. And we were very involved with bringing Miswaki over many years ago and so he's a son of Mr. Prospector, that's dirt and turf, and so again, we're seeing that with The Factor and he's just, he's one of the top sons of War Front and deserves to be recognized as that.”
