The benchmark of brilliance
Always B Miki set the track alight with his record-breaking speed, retiring as the fastest horse of all time. Now Australia’s leading sire of 3YO pacers, his progeny deliver exactly what breeders want with speed, toughness and consistency.

Always B Miki


Always B Miki retired as the fastest horse of all time, clocking a breathtaking 1:46. Widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of his era, his phenomenal 2016 campaign earned him the title of US Horse of the Year. Trained by Hall of Famer Jimmy Takter, his brilliance on the track led Takter to declare, “I think this could be the greatest horse that ever lived.”

Since retiring to stud, Always B Miki has proven just as dominant in the breeding barn. He was the Leading First Season Sire in the USA in 2020 and the Leading 3YO Sire in 2021. He is currently the leading active pacing sire of Breeders Crown winners in North America and boasts six millionaire progeny in the USA, including dual millionaires Sylvia Hanover, Miki And Minnie and Grace Hill.

In the Southern Hemisphere, his legacy continues to grow—already the sire of 15 Group 1 winners, including sharing top honours with Art Major as the leading sire of Australian Group 1 winners last season.

Always B Miki is one of the most exciting stallion prospects to stand in the Southern Hemisphere in recent years.

Besides being one of the greatest racehorses of all time, he also possesses a pedigree that will enable him to match up successfully with many mares by our top stallions.

Being out of an Artsplace mare, Always B Miki matches up really well with Abercrombie mares. So look for him to cross well with mares by such stallions as Art Major, Sportswriter, Grinfromeartoear, Perfect Art, Artiscape, Astreos, Modern Art, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, Pacific Rocket, Fully Loaded, Peace Of Art, Panorama, etc.

Art Major and Sportswriter mares look particularly interesting given the presence of Big Towner in their pedigree.

Always B Miki possesses no Cam Fella blood in his pedigree whatsoever, so he will be able to be easily matched up with mares by sires such as Bettors Delight, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, Precious Bunny, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Pacific Fella, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.

Direct Scooter line mares have worked well with a variety of Western Hanover line stallions and this is certainly the case with Western Ideal and his sons Rocknroll Hanover and American Ideal.

Downunder Direct Scooter line stallions include Christian Cullen, Mach Three, Somebeachsomewhere, Courage Under Fire, In The Pocket, Stoneridge Scooter, Ok Bye, Deal Direct, Direct Flight, etc.

In recent times the doubling up of No Nukes has become more prevalent and produced some very good horses.

No Nukes line stallions include Live Or Die, Badlands Hanover, Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Jereme’s Jet, Caprock, Ticket To Heaven, etc.

Always B Miki contains multiple crosses of Big Towner and it is worth noting that duplicated Big Towner through a sire and a dam has produced very positive results.

So mares containing Big Towner could very well be a good option for Always B Miki.

  • Always B Miki is one of the most exciting stallion prospects to stand in the Southern Hemisphere in recent years.

    Besides being one of the greatest racehorses of all time, he also possesses a pedigree that will enable him to match up successfully with many mares by our top stallions.

    Being out of an Artsplace mare, Always B Miki matches up really well with Abercrombie mares. So look for him to cross well with mares by such stallions as Art Major, Sportswriter, Grinfromeartoear, Perfect Art, Artiscape, Astreos, Modern Art, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, Pacific Rocket, Fully Loaded, Peace Of Art, Panorama, etc.

    Art Major and Sportswriter mares look particularly interesting given the presence of Big Towner in their pedigree.

    Always B Miki possesses no Cam Fella blood in his pedigree whatsoever, so he will be able to be easily matched up with mares by sires such as Bettors Delight, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, Precious Bunny, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Pacific Fella, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.

    Direct Scooter line mares have worked well with a variety of Western Hanover line stallions and this is certainly the case with Western Ideal and his sons Rocknroll Hanover and American Ideal.

    Downunder Direct Scooter line stallions include Christian Cullen, Mach Three, Somebeachsomewhere, Courage Under Fire, In The Pocket, Stoneridge Scooter, Ok Bye, Deal Direct, Direct Flight, etc.

    In recent times the doubling up of No Nukes has become more prevalent and produced some very good horses.

    No Nukes line stallions include Live Or Die, Badlands Hanover, Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Jereme’s Jet, Caprock, Ticket To Heaven, etc.

    Always B Miki contains multiple crosses of Big Towner and it is worth noting that duplicated Big Towner through a sire and a dam has produced very positive results.

    So mares containing Big Towner could very well be a good option for Always B Miki.

    The Narcissist Reflects Greatness in 4 & 5YO Championship Triumph!

    The Narcissist added another dazzling chapter to his growing legacy, securing his sixth consecutive victory with a dominant performance in the 4&5-Year-Old Championship.
    Read Story
The benchmark of brilliance
Always B Miki set the track alight with his record-breaking speed, retiring as the fastest horse of all time. Now Australia’s leading sire of 3YO pacers, his progeny deliver exactly what breeders want with speed, toughness and consistency.

Always B Miki retired as the fastest horse of all time, clocking a breathtaking 1:46. Widely regarded as one of the greatest racehorses of his era, his phenomenal 2016 campaign earned him the title of US Horse of the Year. Trained by Hall of Famer Jimmy Takter, his brilliance on the track led Takter to declare, “I think this could be the greatest horse that ever lived.”

Since retiring to stud, Always B Miki has proven just as dominant in the breeding barn. He was the Leading First Season Sire in the USA in 2020 and the Leading 3YO Sire in 2021. He is currently the leading active pacing sire of Breeders Crown winners in North America and boasts six millionaire progeny in the USA, including dual millionaires Sylvia Hanover, Miki And Minnie and Grace Hill.

In the Southern Hemisphere, his legacy continues to grow—already the sire of 15 Group 1 winners, including sharing top honours with Art Major as the leading sire of Australian Group 1 winners last season.

Always B Miki is one of the most exciting stallion prospects to stand in the Southern Hemisphere in recent years.

Besides being one of the greatest racehorses of all time, he also possesses a pedigree that will enable him to match up successfully with many mares by our top stallions.

Being out of an Artsplace mare, Always B Miki matches up really well with Abercrombie mares. So look for him to cross well with mares by such stallions as Art Major, Sportswriter, Grinfromeartoear, Perfect Art, Artiscape, Astreos, Modern Art, Albert Albert, Life Sign, Dream Away, Pacific Rocket, Fully Loaded, Peace Of Art, Panorama, etc.

Art Major and Sportswriter mares look particularly interesting given the presence of Big Towner in their pedigree.

Always B Miki possesses no Cam Fella blood in his pedigree whatsoever, so he will be able to be easily matched up with mares by sires such as Bettors Delight, Fake Left, Armbro Operative, Presidential Ball, Washington VC, Precious Bunny, Four Starzzz Shark, Blissfull Hall, Pacific Fella, Camtastic, Cameleon, Brioso Hanover, Exotic Earl, etc.

Direct Scooter line mares have worked well with a variety of Western Hanover line stallions and this is certainly the case with Western Ideal and his sons Rocknroll Hanover and American Ideal.

Downunder Direct Scooter line stallions include Christian Cullen, Mach Three, Somebeachsomewhere, Courage Under Fire, In The Pocket, Stoneridge Scooter, Ok Bye, Deal Direct, Direct Flight, etc.

In recent times the doubling up of No Nukes has become more prevalent and produced some very good horses.

No Nukes line stallions include Live Or Die, Badlands Hanover, Safely Kept, Village Jasper, Jereme’s Jet, Caprock, Ticket To Heaven, etc.

Always B Miki contains multiple crosses of Big Towner and it is worth noting that duplicated Big Towner through a sire and a dam has produced very positive results.

So mares containing Big Towner could very well be a good option for Always B Miki.
