Elite Power’s dam is the prodigiously talented Broadway’s Alibi. By Seattle Slew’s undefeated Champion Two-Year-Old son, Vindication, Broadway’s Alibi won four of six starts, taking those races by a total of more than 32 lengths. Those performances included a near 17 length romp in the Forward Gal Stakes (Gr.2), where she clocked a swift 1:21.94 for the seven furlongs, and a three and a half-lengths triumph in the Comely Stakes (Gr.3). Stretching her brilliant speed beyond a mile, Broadway’s Alibi missed by just three-quarters of a length in a bold attempt to go wire-to-wire in the Kentucky Oaks (Gr.1).
Broadway’s Alibi, is half-sister to the multiple Graded stakes winner and stakes sire, Golden Lad; to multiple stakes winning and grade one placed R Gypsy Gold; and to the dam of stakes winner Lights of Broadway.
The second dam of Elite Power is Seeking the Gold’s juvenile stakes winning daughter, Broadway Gold, a half-sister to Dialed In, winner of the Holy Bull Stakes (Gr.3) and Florida Derby (Gr.1), and sire of such as Grade one winners Defunded, Super Stock and Get Her Number, and Grade two winners Gunnevera and Ms Locust Point.
Broadway Gold’s dam, the Grade two-placed juvenile Miss Doolittle, is by Storm Cat out of Champion Two-Year-Old Filly, Eliza. An exceptional talent, Eliza not only captured the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (Gr.1), Santa Anita Oaks (Gr.1), Arlington-Washington Lassie Stakes (Gr.2) – which she took by 12 lengths – and Alcibiades Stakes (Gr.2), but also earned second in the Kentucky Oaks (Gr.1) and a third, beaten only a length in the Santa Anita Derby (Gr.1). Eliza is herself half-sister to another outstanding performer in Santa Anita Derby (Gr.1) hero, Dinard.

Elite Power is a son of Curlin, a two-time Horse of the Year who has developed into the most important sire of Classic dirt runners in North America today.
At three, Curlin established himself as the leader of a vintage generation of colts that also included Street Sense, Hard Spun and Any Given Saturday. Winner of his first three starts, including the Rebel Stakes (Gr.3) and Arkansas Derby (Gr.2), Curlin gained Classic glory when defeating Street Sense and Hard Spun for the Preakness Stakes (Gr.1). In addition to earning honors as Champion Three-Year-Old of that crop, Curlin earned ascendancy over the leaders of the older horse division, capturing the Jockey Gold Cup (Gr.1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (Gr.1), defeating Champion Older Horse Lawyer Ron on both occasions.
Returning at four, Curlin garnered two more Eclipse Award titles, one as Champion Older Horse and the other for a successful defense of his Horse of the Year title. Undefeated in five starts on the dirt that term, four of them in Grade one events, Curlin captured the Dubai World Cup (Gr.1), by a record margin of seven and three-quarter-lengths; the Stephen Foster Handicap (Gr.1) by four and a quarter lengths; the Woodward Stakes (Gr.1); and Jockey Club Gold Cup (Gr.1).
A son of two-time Leading Sire Smart Strike out of a mare by two-time Leading Sire and Leading Broodmare Sire, Deputy Minister, at stud Curlin has more than lived up to his pedigree. Starting with a first crop that yielded nine stakes winners, including the Belmont Stakes (Gr.1) and Metropolitan Handicap (Gr.1) victor Palace Malice, Curlin has firmly established himself as North America’s most important sire of Classic distance dirt performers.
Soon to surpass the 100 individual stakes winner milestone, Curlin is responsible for no less than 55 individual stakes winners and 22 individual Grade one winners. They are headed by Champion Sprinter Elite Power, Champion Older Horse Vino Rosso, Champion Three-Year-Old Filly and Champion Older Mare Malathaat, Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Nest and Champion Three-Year-Old Filly Stellar Wind. His other Grade one scorers include such as classic winners Palace Malice and Exaggerator, Keen Ice – conqueror of American Pharoah in the Travers Stakes (Gr.1) – Cody’s Wish, Clairiere, Connect, Global Campaign, Idol and Bright Future.
Curlin is now rapidly making an impact as a sire of sires. In both 2022 and 2023 the Kentucky Derby (Gr.1) was captured by a colt from the first crop of a son of Curlin, and Curlin is already represented by 11 individual sons who have sired stakes winners, six being responsible for Graded stakes winners, and four already represented by Grade one winners. His son, Good Magic, is the Leading Second Season Sire of 2023, and two of his sons are among the top ten Freshman Sires of 2023.

An Eclipse Award winning Champion Sprinter, Elite Power is also the outstanding sprinting son of Curlin.
Beginning with a nine lengths victory in a Churchill Downs maiden special weight event, Elite Power has demonstrated remarkable class and consistency at the highest level, over two seasons, winning eight straight races from six furlongs to a mile, and defeating the best sprinters in training.
Following his maiden win, Elite Power added two more successes in allowance company, scoring three and a quarter-lengths over a mile at Churchill Downs, and by three and a half lengths “eased up” over six furlongs at Saratoga. His blacktype debut was no less impressive, Elite Power taking the Vosburgh Stakes (Gr.2) by five and three-quarter-lengths over Graded stakes winner Eastern Bay, four-time Graded winner Drafted and Graded winner Jalen Journey despite finishing “geared down.”
Elite Power built on this explosive stakes debut, completing the season with a daylight triumph in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (Gr.1), where he defeated C Z Rocket – a multiple Graded stakes winner of over $2,000,000 whose resume already boasted a second in a previous Breeders’ Cup Sprint (Gr.1) – reigning Champion Sprinter Jackie’s Warrior; the previous year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint (Gr.1) hero, Aloha West; and other Grade one winners American Theorem and  Kimari.
In 2023, Elite Power began his title defense with a “comfortable” success in the Riyadh Dirt Sprint (Gr.3), where he had three and a half lengths to spare over multiple Grade one winner Gunite, with Graded stakes winners Remake, Justin, Dancing Prince and Meraas further behind.
Returning to the U.S., he added the True North Stakes (Gr.2) by one and three-quarter lengths under “a hand ride to the finish” with Grade two winners Anarchist and Fearless in arrears.
In his most recent success, Elite Power further advanced his claims to repeat as Champion Sprinter, courageously defeating Gunite for the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Stakes (Gr.1), while conceding 4 lbs. to that formidable multiple Grade one winner, in the process earning a 108 Beyer Speedfigure (the co-top of the year by a male at six furlongs). The rest of the field, which included Graded winners Dean Delivers and Little Vic, finished six and a quarter or more lengths behind.
In conclusion, we can note that Elite Power has rare credentials as a sprinter who has delivered championship level performances over two straight seasons, and yet who claims a classic performing sire and dam.
