He is sired by Successful Appeal who is doing very well as a sire, his offspring are doing great at the track and in the sales ring. Successful Ways' dam's side is also full of SW's. We believe Successful Ways with his excellent racing bloodlines will be a great "Success" as a racing sire. 
Come see him and bring a mare or two as we know he will be a Successful Sire! It's in his winning Ways and in his pedigree!
He has Valid Appeal lines as Fl Leading Sires Trippi and Halo's Image and also has Halo on dam side! 

Stallion Watch 2008
Successful Appeal quietly becoming a major sire

"Best Values, $25,000 - $40,000
#1. Successful Appeal ($40,000 Walmac Farm, KY) - Simply put, he's getting it done in all areas, regardless of the angle you take. Finally getting respect in the sales ring after siring 20% stakes horses from starters (over a third of them graded) and improving upon his opportunities by over 51%. "

We will support mare owners in the future who support him now, while his career is new!

  Successful Appeal Sales Results 

Undefeated in 2 starts as a 2 yr. old.

Successful Ways, a son of the 2004 leading first-crop sire Successful Appeal, will stand the 2008 breeding season at Ups and Downs Farm at Citra, Fla. His fee will be $3,000 live foal, call the farm or email udf@upsanddownsfarm.com to discuss 2008 breeding incentives.

Successful Ways was bred in Florida by Sort Holdings. He won 2 of 2 starts and earned $55,200 in one short season on the track. Trained by Nick Zito and raced by Kinsman Farm, Successful Ways is owned by CJ & John Stevens jvens@bellsouth.net .

"He's a really nice horse, he's 16+ hands," and  "He was fast; able to  win both of his two starts, one by 2 1/2 lengths going away." "He's always done everything asked of him and we believe he will be a success at stud also."

Successful Ways first start came at Saratoga in the summer of 2006. He ran 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:05 while winning a MSW race at Saratoga Aug. 30, 2006. His second race was at Belmont, an AOC,  on Sept. 29, 2006 and he won by 2 1/2 lengths. He had two wins from two starts in 2006 earning $55,200. He was injured while in training for the Holy Bull Stakes. 

Successful Ways is out of the Devils Bag mare Wicked Ways, must see Stakes Winning lineage. We believe Successful Ways would have been his dam's first stakes winner if he had not been injured. She is the dam of two winners from three starters and has three foals yet to race. Sired by Successful Appeal, a grade II winner at 2, 3, and 4, Champion Florida-bred sprinter in 1999. Successful Appeal was the leading freshman sire of 2004 with $1,727,557 in progeny earnings and six stakes winners from a crop of just 37 foals in 2004. The son of Valid Appeal stood his first few seasons in Florida. His first season in 2001 at Walmac FL. but was moved to Walmac Farm near Lexington for the 2005 breeding season and his fee has jumped from $6,000 to $25,000, to $40,000 for 2007. His son Closing Argument has moved to Kentucky also and his stud fee is now $12,500.

That's why we say, "NOW IS THE TIME TO CONSIDER SUCCESSFUL WAYS!

On the general 2-year-old sire list, Successful Appeal finished second to Storm Cat.
