“Let the hype begin. In the span of less than two months, he has gone from just a rumor to the hottest young horse around. He’s got bloodlines to drool over.
He’s in the hands of a master. Meet Roman Ruler. Catch him if you can, because...his competition hasn’t been able to.”

“As expected, Roman Ruler walked all over his competition in the 1 1/16 mile Norfolk.”

- THE BLOOD-HORSE 10/9/04

“One of the top 2-year-olds of last year, Roman Ruler looks ready to join the top ranks again. The son of Fusaichi Pegasus captured the July 4 Dwyer Stakes (G2) at Belmont Park over favorite Flower Alley.”

- THE BLOOD-HORSE / JULY 9, 2005

“...Roman Ruler drove by rivals while displaying the dominance
that made him a multiple Graded Stakes winner as a juvenile.”

“Roman Ruler is continuing to reign over his 3-year-old counterparts...”

“Roman Ruler was brilliant from the word go, he was just very fast. I’ve been fortunate enough to train some very fast two year olds and Roman Ruler was definitely the fastest two-year-old I’ve ever trained.He combines the three main ingredients you need in a great sire, brilliant speed as a two-year-old, awesome good looks and a blue blooded pedigree.

Roman Ruler has it all. When we ran him first time out, we knew he was something special. I can’t say enough good things about this horse.”
