FDD Dynasty’s next out was in the trials to the Golden State Million Futurity-G1, which he won by 3/4-lengths and qualified to the finals. He was now 4-for-4. When the finals rolled around, he drifted out a bit but was with them all the way and finished third.
FDD Dynasty tried his hand at winning again, and he succeeded in the trials to the
Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity. He won his heat by 1/2-length and his connections anticipated his return in the finals. FDD Dynasty broke on top from the outside post, but was headed by eventual World Champion Blues Girl Too in the stretch and placed second.
FDD Dynasty finished his 2006 freshman campaign with a record of 5(1)-1(1)-1(1) from 7 outs and was named Champion 2-Year-Old Colt. Perhaps one of the questions about a Champion is ‘Is this flash of talent for a season or will they return to dominate and continue to win?’ That question was answered soon enough.
FDD Dynasty underwent surgery in December 2006, and was put on an extended layoff which ended July 14, 2007, when he began his sophomore campaign and ran in the trials to the Governor’s Cup Derby. He won
by 2-lengths under regular rider G.R. Carter
Jr. and established the fastest qualifying time. “That was his first race in seven months,” Joiner said. It was also the colt’s first start after surgery. The finals to the Governor’s Cup Derby-G1 did not go off without a hitch. Not only was the race the tenth on the card, but rider G.R. Carter Jr. snapped his stirrups in the ninth race when his mount stepped on the bar prior to the start. This caused a delay in the Governor’s Cup Derby, as Carter had to borrow another saddle. FDD became restless and noticeably irritated
in the paddock and the mood carried over into the gates, where he was nervous and moving his head sideways. But, he won the race by a neck and the big bay colt moved into millionaire status from only nine outs.
His next race was the Go Man Go Handicap-G1. This time under Sam Thompson, he broke mid-pack and was bumped at the start. He took the lead in the stretch to win by a nose.
FDD Dynasty made one more start in the Champion of Champions-G1 before he was retired to stud. He exited the starting gates for the last time, breaking mid-pack from the 1-post. He was bumped at the break once again and was in third at the first call. He moved into second in the stretch, but ultimately finished third to winner and eventual World Champion Blues Girl Too.
The race was not a disappointment, however, as FDD Dynasty completed another remarkable year of racing and was awarded for it by being named 2007 Champion 3-Year- Old Colt. He retired with a record of 11-8(3)- 1(1)-2(2) and $1,173,001.
His career in racing was over and he was now ready to take it all to the breeding shed.
FDD Dynasty stood his first year at stud in 2008 at Vessels Stallion Farm. Today he stands at Bob Moore Farms in Norman, Oklahoma. His athleticism and breeding have shown through his progeny.
FDD Dynasty has sired over $21 million as of press time, with 150 blacktype earners. His best progeny is 2-time World Champion/4-time Champion Jessies First Down. Recently retired, the gelding set two New Track Records and amassed earnings over $1.6 million. Among
his other leading earners are Champion Kates Dynasty and 2-time Vessels Maturity-G1 winner Far Niente. FDD Dynasty is the #21 all-time leading sire of money earners and
the #12 all-time leading living sire of money earners. In 2019, he is a leading sire of graded stakes winners, the number one sire of winners at Jerome County Fair and Pocatello Downs, and a leading sire of winners at The Downs at Albuquerque, Arizona Downs, Delta Downs, Fresno County Fair, Laurel Brown Racetrack, Prairie Meadows, Sam Houston Race Park, Sunland Park and Turf Paradise.
FDD Dynasty has also consistently been among the top sires in the sale barn. In
2019, he sired 56 yearlings to sale at auction, averaging over $28,000, and is the sire of three horses to sell for over $100,000 at the Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale.
It’s clear the legacy of FDD Dynasty has continued and remains strong. He has made a powerful mark on the industry we all love. Being born with the potential for greatness, FDD Dynasty proved he had what it took to become a Champion, and that he also has what it takes to be a prolific sire.
