Street Sense is from the first crop of a World Cup winner Street Cry, a G1 winner at 10f and a son of Machiavellian, the only stallion to sire two World Cup winners. Street Cry's dam won the Irish Oaks (G1) at 12f, and was by REAL Derby winner Troy. The dam Bedazzle won 4 races and nearly $200,000, meaning she was running in good allowance company at major tracks, since she earned no black type. Her sire Dixieland Band has sired winners at all sorts of distances, from 5f maiden races to the Ascot Gold Cup at over 2 miles (Drum Taps). But in the main, his better ones could run well at a mile or more. The second dam was a SW at beyond 8f on turf by His Majesty, who is a major stamina source (sire of Pleasant Colony, et. al., damsire of Dynaformer). His fourth dam Lianga is a sprinting legend in Europe, where she won all four of the major sprint stakes in France and England, beating the guys with elan; she was the best runner sired by Kentucky Derby winner (in actual running) Dancer's Image and her prowess prompted his exportation to stand in France.

Hey, pedigree experts, has any other stallion sired a Derby winner from his very first crop?

I'll look up Distorted Humor/Funny Cide, Danzig. I'm on break at work right now and if I let myself nap I won't wake up until Tuesday. This'll keep me alert.

Yes and no for DH- Funny Cide was from his first American crop- he stood first in Australia. From Wikipedia:
<<Beginning in 1999, Distorted Humor stood twice in Victoria, Australia (at Grand Lodge Stud in Avenel) for $12,000. He sired two Australian crops. In only these two crops, 93 were runners, 74 winners, 12 placed, and two others have come in the money. His get include Rinky Dink: winner of the South Australian Oaks and the Tasmanian Oaks, Distorted Halo: winner of the Moonee Valley and Mercedes-Benz Hong Kong Derby Trial, and Tirade: winner of the Caulfield Guineas Prelude and third in VRC Ascot Vale Stakes. Among his Australian winners are not only flat runners, but jumpers. The jumper, four-year-old, Some Are Bent, took the Moonee Valley Hurdle in July of 2006, his third jumps win in his past four outings. Back in the States without fanfare, Distorted Humor's 2000 fee remained low and his mares average, yet he also quickly made his mark, unexpectedly becoming America's leading freshman sire of 2002. And then in 2003, his stud career expanded a hundredfold with the arrival of his most famous son, the dual classic winner Funny Cide, as well as the Grade I runner, Awesome Humor. For three years now his mares have become classier and classier (for instance, in 2007 he is expected to service the mare Quendom (ARG), the dam of Invasor); his American off-spring have earned over five million dollars a year. In 2005, when his oldest were five-year-olds, and over the course of 140 races, 88 of his get (13 of which were two-year-olds) earned 8 million six hundred thousand dollars. He finished the year as the second top sire in America, beaten only by the now deceased Saint Ballado. By late 2006 he had 255 winners, including 18 graded stakes winners, from 340 starters, siring 46 stakes winners. From five crops, his progeny have earned $30,265,433. In 2006, as a 14-year-old sire, he had 20 different horses win a combined 31 stakes races, 10 of which were graded.>>

And Smarty was from EQ's second crop. So, is that it? Omaha and Street Sense, only first crop Derby winners?
No, I am not seeing a new handicapping angle. I just like trivia.
