When we looked at the leading freshman sires a few weeks ago, we noted two stallions, Complexity and Thousand Words , who had already been represented by a pair of stakes winners. Since then, both have gone on to further success. Complexity's son Black Forza captured the Richmond Stakes (G2) in England to become his sire's third stakes winner.
