NF PROOF+/ died in 2013, but luckily for the breeding industry frozen semen remains available for this great Pure Polish stallion. He retired with a race record of 14 wins, (10 stakes) 5 seconds and a third from 22 starts with earnings of $191,253, Darley Horse of the Year twice, Darley Champion Older Horse, Darley Champion 4-Year-Old Colt, and Racing Hall of Fame member.

Amazingly, he is still a relevant stallion being the sire of 2021 Darley nominee for 3-Year-Old Colt/Gelding Four Hundred Proof AA (out of Tri Silkie Sands, by Burning Sand, 5(1-3-0)0-1, $16,120, 2nd Texas Lone Star Juvenile S. (Gr 3)).

He has sired many sound, durable stakes winners, including his leading earner, SEY SPOTTSPROOF (started 96 times in 9 years, $204,043), as well as SEYVILLA PROOF (18 wins (8 stakes) in 28 starts, $173,635), SEY ELLION PROOF (53 starts in 5 years of racing, $124,528), SEYVILLA BASPROOF (44 starts over 4 years, $106,179), CANNON EXPRESS (58 starts in 5 years, $89,137) and SS DAWN TREADER (11 wins, $73,777).

He has been among the leading broodmare sire by earnings. He is the broodmare sire of multiple Darley Champion EASTER MAN and grade 1 stakes winner BURNING FLEET (5 wins, $91,108).

NF Proof is by the imported Polish stallion *Bataann, sire of HARASSMENT (multiple stakes winner) and NF RISK (1st Michigan Arabian Cup Open, etc.) among his 17 winners.

His dam *Szalka is the dam of five other stakes horses, HARASSMENT, NF Dead Cert, NF Bolt, NF Smokescreen and Batraz. His female family, like fellow Racing Hall of Fame member MONARCH AH, is the incredible "S" line tracing to the foundation mare SABELLINA, who is the dam of SANTA (dam of SANTOS and *SASANKA).

Stud fee: $2,500, frozen semen only Nominations: Arabian Racing Cup, Breeders’ Sweepstakes Frozen semen available through Seyvilla Arabians Breeder: Nodoroma Arabians Inquiries to: Anne Seymour, 850-859-2808, seyvilla@embarqmail.com
