Manitoba Stallion Profile: Seattle Serenade

(Smart Strike-Serenading by A.P. Indy)

A stakes-winning son of leading sire Smart Strike, Seattle Serenade combines an elite genetic profile with proven racing ability to offer breeders access to some of North America’s most influential bloodlines.

A talented performer who earned $143,415 on the track, Seattle Serenade captured the Bull Dog Handicap among his five career victories on dirt and all-weather tracks from 6 furlongs to 1 1/8-miles while competing successfully from ages 3 to 6.

By two-time Leading Sire Smart Strike, a sire of sires whose progeny have earned over $155 million including Horse of the Year winners Curlin and English Channel, Seattle Serenade represents one of North America’s most successful sire lines.

His dam Serenading, by Horse of the Year A.P. Indy,  was Champion Older Mare in Canada, capturing the Falls City Handicap (G2) among her six wins and over $538,000 in earnings. Serenading is also a sister to multiple stakes winner Handpainted.

From his first five crops, Seattle Serenade has sired 100 foals with 46 starters and 17 winners. His progeny have demonstrated particular aptitude in Canada, led by the stakes-placed Seattle Causeway ($88,222), along with Renegade Serenade ($79,190), and Serenading Hall ($64,276).

Seattle Serenade’s second dam, Daijin, by Deputy Minister, won the Selene Stakes and is a sister to Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Touch Gold and Canadian Triple Crown winner With Approval, reinforcing the depth and quality of this exceptional family.
