Proven sires produced this year's winners of the Breeders' Cup World Championships Filly and Mare Sprint and the BC Filly and Mare Turf, Ventura and Forever Together.

Chester House and Belong to Me have come up winners as stallions many times over. Their four-year-old progency ruled the 2008 Breeders' Cup World Championships' filly and mare races.

Ventura cruised out of reach in the seven furlong Filly and Mare Sprint, proving she has inherited the speed of her bloodlines. Forever Together followed up in the fourth event, putting together a rally worthy of her ancestry that includes Danzig, Northern Dancer, Blushing Groom and Hail to Reason.
