Designated as a Reine-de-Course by pedigree analyst Ellen Parker, Broadway produced 10 named foals, of which eight ran and won. Her important foals are as follow:
- Great White Way (1964, by Court Martial) won the 1966 Dover Stakes. Exported to Japan in 1971, he was of no importance as a stallion.

- Reviewer (1966, by Bold Ruler) was a good stakes winner at 2, 3 and 4 who scored his biggest win in the 1968 Sapling Stakes. A good stallion, he sired 19 stakes winners from 182 named foals but is best remembered as the sire of the great Ruffian.
- Will Hayes (1968, by Bold Ruler) won the 1972 El Monte Handicap. After standing in Ireland with little success, he was exported to Mexico in 1980.
