1:48.4 - $3,323,606. Bay Horse, Foaled 1998, 15.2 Hands.
Real Desire was a world champion in every sense – a great two year old, the winner of the Meadowlands Pace and Breeders Crown as a three year old and the dominant free for aller as a four year old.
In 2008 Real Desire was North America’s No.1 sire of 1:53 two year olds, with nine to his credit – more than double that of the next-leading sire. These fabulous freshmen were led by the World Champion Sheer Desire (1:49.3) – equal with Somebeachsomewhere as the fastest two year old ever.
- One of the greatest racehorses of the modern era, Real Desire retired
to stud with $3,159,814 in earnings - the third richest pacer of all
time.
- Real Desire’s stats from these three crops are compelling – 101 in 1:55, 56 in 1:53, 11 in 1:50, 42 $100,000 winners, 11 $250,000 winners, $36,798 average earnings per foal and $55,130 average earnings per starter.
- Among his top performers is the superstar Tell All - US 3yo Pacer of the Year.
- Real Desire’s crop of foals in New Zealand and Australia, from his only trip downunder, are outstanding types. We’ve had wonderful feedback with breeders impressed by their type, presence and uniformly good size.
In the Southern Hemisphere Real Desire's oldest progeny will be 2yos in 2010/11.
In the Northern Hemisphere Real Desire is the sire of 264 winners of over $21,274,195, 141 in 1:55, 13 in 1:50 and 60 $100,000 earners incl:

Catalogue Style Pedigree
Of great relevance to New Zealand breeders, the millionaire Tell All is by Real Desire out of an Albatross mare. What’s more, Real Desire’s world champion two year old, Sheer Desire is out of a mare by the Albatross stallion Kiev Hanover.
So that means daughters of such stallions as Vance Hanover, Sokys Atom, Holmes Hanover, Vanston Hanover, etc should all be suited to Real Desire.
Of Real Desire’s top ten performers two are out of mares by Beach Towel and two are out of mares by Beach Towel’s son Jenna’s Beach Boy.
Real Desire is from the same close-up dams family as Grinfromeartoear, Safely Kept, Panorama, Mystical Prince and Rustler Hanover. Doubling up of this family produced Tell All for Real Desire and Smiling Shard, Make Me Smile and Rocknrolla for Grinfromeartoear.
Of course Real Desire, like other Abercrombie sire lines, loves the Most Happy Fella sireline through both No Nukes and Cam Fella. These two sirelines have been very successful downunder and as such there are a large number of mares by the likes of Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Ticket To Heaven, Northern Lights, etc (No Nukes) and Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Aces N Sevens, Pacific Fella, etc (Cam Fella) could all be suited to Real Desire.
