Based on two unquestioned factors, it's almost etched in stone that American Pharoah will be the country's leading freshman sire this year. First, he has 162 registered foals. Second, he has been bred to mares worth zillions.

    However, on May 10 of 2019, it is etched in stone that Journeyman Stud's Khozan is the leading sire - as of today. Khozan has two winners and progeny earnings of $90,380. The Triple Crown winner has two winners and progeny earnings of $88,764. Brent and Crystal Fernung can appropriately sing, "No, no, they can't take that away from me."
