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 (G2), where she clocked a swift 1:21.94 for the seven furlongs, and a 3½ lengths triumph in the Comely Stakes (G3). Stretching her brilliant speed beyond a mile, Broadway’s Alibi missed by just ¾ length in a bold attempt to go wire-to-wire in the Kentucky Oaks (G1).
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 (G3) and Florida Derby (G1), 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 (G1), Santa Anita Oaks (G1), Arlington-Washington Lassie Stakes (G2) – which she took by 12 lengths – and Alcibiades Stakes (G2), but also earned second in the Kentucky Oaks (G1) and a third, beaten only a length in the Santa Anita Derby (G1). Eliza is herself half-sister to another outstanding performer in Santa Anita Derby (G1) 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 (G3) and Arkansas Derby (G2), Curlin gained classic glory when defeating Street Sense and Hard Spun for the Preakness Stakes (G1). 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 (G1) and Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), 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 (G1), by a record margin of 7¾ lengths; the Stephen Foster Handicap (G1) by 4¼ lengths; the Woodward Stakes (G1); and Jockey Club Gold Cup (G1).
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 (G1) and Metropolitan Handicap (G1) victor Palace Malice, Curlin has firmly established himself as North America’s most important sire of classic distance dirt performers.
Recently surpassing the 100 individual stakes winner milestone, Curlin is responsible for no less than 56 individual graded stakes winners and 22 individual grade one winners. They are headed by Horse of the Year Cody’s Wish, Champion Sprinter Elite Power, Champion Older Horse Vino Rosso, Champion Older Mare Idiomatic, 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 (G1) – Clairiere, Connect, Global Campaign, Idol, Known Agenda, Paris Lights, Off the Tracks, and Bright Future. Curlin is also represented by Canadian Two-Year-Old and Three-Year-Old Champion Filly Curlin’s Voyage.
Curlin is now rapidly making an impact as a sire of sires. In both 2022 and 2023 the Kentucky Derby (G1) 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.

Beginning with a nine length 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 3¼ lengths over a mile at Churchill Downs, and by 3½ lengths “eased up” over six furlongs at Saratoga. His black-type debut was no less impressive, Elite Power taking the Vosburgh Stakes (G2) by 5¾ 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 (G1), 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 (G1) – reigning Champion Sprinter Jackie’s Warrior; the previous year’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) 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 (G3), where he had 3½ 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 (G2) by 1¾ lengths under “a hand ride to the finish” with grade two winners Anarchist and Fearless in arrears.
Elite Power further advanced his claims to repeat as Champion Sprinter, courageously defeating Gunite for the Alfred G. Vanderbilt Stakes (G1), while conceding 4 lbs. to that formidable multiple grade one winner, in the process earning a 108 Beyer Speed figure. The rest of the field, which included graded winners Dean Delivers and Little Vic, finished 6¼ or more lengths behind.
Elite Power cemented his claim to a second Eclipse Award as Champion Sprinter with a career defining performance in the 2024 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Santa Anita leaving the aforementioned multiple G1 winner Gunite in his wake. The balance of the field included G1 winners Speed Boat Beach, The Chosen Vron, and Dr. Schivel along with graded stakes winners Hoist the Gold (G2) and Three Technique (G2). Elite Power ran his final eighth in :11 3/5 seconds for a final time of 1:08.34. The race earned him a career best 111 Beyer Speed Figure – the fastest figure of any 2024 Breeders’ Cup runner – as well as a 0” Ragozin Sheet Figure – the best Ragozin Sheet Figure of any horse in 2024.
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.

Recommended Broodmare Sires
 
Champion Sprinter Elite Power is the outstanding sprinter by Curlin, two-time Horse of the Year, outstanding sire, and now a classic sire of sires. What’s more, he’s out of a multiple graded stakes winning and classic performing mare from an outstanding family, which stems from Champion Two-Year-Old Filly Eliza.
Curlin and sons have developed a particularly strong affinity for mares from the Storm Cat line, this cross producing more than 30 stakes winners. In addition to those out of daughters of Storm Cat himself, this cross has produced grade one winner Grace Adler out of a mare by Newfoundland, and grade one winner Rattle N Roll out of a mare by Johannesburg. Johannesburg is sire of Scat Daddy, himself broodmare sire of a Curlin line graded stakes, and is a son of Hennessy, also sire of Henny Hughes– himself broodmare sire of a graded winner by a son of Curlin – and Cactus Ridge. On this cross there are also black-type winners out of mares by Giant’s Causeway (who is represented by such as Not This Time, Creative Cause, Eskendereya, First Samurai and Frost Giant), Tale of the Cat (sire of Tale of Ekati – himself broodmare sire of a Curlin line stakes winner – and Lion Heart; grandsire of Kantharos and Uncaptured), Forestry (sire of Discreet Cat and Shackleford), Stormy Atlantic, Stormin Fever, Tactical Cat, Lion Hearted, and Forest Wildcat (sire of Wildcat Heir and D’Wildcat), Harlan’s Holiday (sire of Into Mischief, Majesticperfection and Shanghai Bobby), Lion Hearted and Pure Prize. Daughters of Bernstein, Bluegrass Cat, Cat Thief, Freud (brother to Giant’s Causeway) and Yankee Gentleman could also be considered.
Smart Strike, the sire of Curlin, had a tremendous success rate with mares from the Danzig branch of Northern Dancer. Curlin has followed that trend, with Champion Good Magic out of a mare by Hard Spun; a quartet of stakes winners out of daughters of Polish Numbers; grade one winner Known Agenda out of a mare by Byron (from the Danehill branch), Kentucky Derby winner Mage out of a mare by Big Brown (by Boundary) and stakes winners out of mares by Foxhound, Pine Bluff and Ascot Knight. This would also make it worth considering mares by War Front (sire of The Factor, Summer Front, Declaration of War and Hit it a Bomb), War Chant, Exchange Rate, Langfuhr, Belong to Me and Bellamy Road (broodmare sire of Curlin line grade one winner Bright Future).
There is a Curlin Grade two winner out of a mare by Dixieland Band and another out of a mare by that horse’s son, Dixie Union (sire of Union Rags). This line could also be sourced through High Cotton, Hook and Ladder (broodmare sire of a Curlin line stakes winner) and Overanalyze. Out of mares from the Nureyev branch of Northern Dancer, Curlin has a classic winner out of a mare by Royal Anthem and a stakes winner out of a mare by that horse’s sire, Theatrical, and a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Great Commotion. This also suggests trying daughters of Atticus, Fasliyev, Unusual Heat and Spinning World. From the sire line of Nureyev’s three-quarters brother, Sadler’s Wells, there is a stakes winner out of a mare by Medaglia d’Oro (sire of Violence and Warrior’s Reward). Medaglia d’Oro is by El Prado, also sire of Kitten’s Joy and Artie Schiller, and Sadler’s Wells has also been represented in North America by Magician and Capo Blanco (both by Galileo), Powerscourt and Horse Chestnut.
Curlin is out of a Deputy Minister mare, but he and his sons has enjoyed exceptional success with inbreeding to that strain this already appearing in 30 stakes winners, five grade one. Out of mares by Awesome Again there are four stakes winners, including grade one winner Keen Ice, and Awesome Again is sire of Ghostzapper, Paynter, Oxbow, Daheer, Toccet, Awesome of Course and Awesome Patriot). Other Deputy Minister branches that could be used are Dehere (whose son, Graeme Hall, is broodmare sire of Curlin grade one winner Curalina), Forest Camp, French Deputy and Silver Deputy. There is also a stakes winner out of a mare by Silver Deputy son Posse and other sources of Silver Deputy are Archers Bay, Badge of Silver and Spring at Last and Posse. Deputy Minister might also be introduced through Touch Gold.
The cross of Curlin and sons with mares from the A.P. Indy line has produced more than 30 stakes winners.  Elite Power is particularly interesting here as he is out of a multiple graded stakes winning mare who is bred on a cross of A.P. Indy’s sire, Seattle Slew over a Mr. Prospector mare, as are many of A.P. Indy’s most important sons. There are ten stakes winners out of mares by A.P. Indy himself, including Champions Malathaat and Nest, and grade one winners Idol and Global Campaign, as well as eight stakes winners, including grade one winners Paris Lights and Clairiere, out of mares by that horse’s son Bernardini (sire of Stay Thirsty and To Honor and Serve). Grade one winner Stellar Wind is out of a mare by Malibu Moon, and there is a grade three winner by Curlin out of a mare by Flatter (sire of Upstart and Flat Out). Culin grade one winner Cody’s Wish is out of a mare by Tapit (sire of Constitution, Frosted, Tonalist, Concord Point, Tapizar, Tapiture, Hansen and Trappe Shot). Tapit is by A.P. Indy son, Pulpit (also sire of Corinthian – broodmare sire of a Curlin line graded winner – Sky Mesa and Stroll). There is also a graded winner by Curlin out of a mare by Majestic Warrior (bred on a very similar cross to the dam of Elite Power), and it could also be worth considering mares by Congrats (a brother to Flatter) and Mineshaft (sire of Dialed In – who is interesting here as he comes from Elite Power’s immediate family – and Discreetly Mine), Jump Start and Stephen Got Even. Curlin also has two graded stakes winners out of mares by Yes It’s True, whose grandsire Raja Baba is from the same sire line and family as A.P. Indy.
Curlin and sons are outperforming opportunity with mares from the Unbridled’s Song branch of the Fappiano line. That includes grade one winner Idomatic out of a mare by First Defence, and grade two winner Vegas Magic out of a mare by Rockport Harbor, and stakes winners out of mares by Unbridled Express, Old Fashioned, Even the Score and Eurosilver, with other possibilities including Arrogate (who will double Deputy Minster, a positive here), Liam’s Map, Midshipman, Cross Traffic, Songandaprayer, Half Ours, Graydar, Dunkirk and Will Take Charge.
Curlin already has two stakes winners, including grade one winner Collect, out of mares by Holy Bull, and he is sire of Macho Uno (broodmare sire of a Curlin grade one winner), Flashy Bull, Woke Up Dreamin and Giacomo. Curlin has a graded stakes winner out of a mare by Indian Charlie, a son of In Excess. In Excess is also sire of Rocky Bar, Notional and Bring the Heat, and Indian Charlie is sire of Uncle Mo (sire of Nyquist, Laoban and Outwork), Adios Charlie, Bwana Charlie, Liaison and Cinco Charlie.
