The above 25 sires all have just ONE yearling entered in

The PREMIER, SELECT, FESTIVAL classifications of the

New Zealand yearling sales for 2013.

All the sires standing in AUSTRALIA have an “A” appended

to their name.

GALILEO is conspicuous because you can see in the first

Column which shows the number of STAKES WINNERS that each

sire has foaled, that he has a monumental total of 122 SW.

With 1245 runners, even with Champion racing ability, Multiple Champion sire proven ability, and the best of opportunities he is leaving more failures than successes.

We can calculate he is leaving ONE STAKES WINNER per 9.79

foals to race, which is still one of the best records around.

Alamosa, (oldest 2yo)Red Giant (yearlings)and Thewayyouare (yearlings)have not sired a SW yet because they are just starting out. But they have large representations of 34,39 and 40 yearlings respectively in each of these 3 sales.

They are well credentialed pedigree wise, are very good looking individuals, stand at very successful and well established commercial studs with a large client base.

These stallions were all standout racehorses. It is no wonder they have been afforded excellent opportunities at stud.

Iffraaj--------004-------069-------007-----048-------014

Mastercraftsma-000-------092-------054-----038-------x

The honour of the most commercial yearlings goes to Iffraaj

Who has 69 yearlings entered in the sales, and the new sire

Mastercraftsman who has a whopping 92 yearlings.

There has been some great management here. Iffraaj has been

well promoted as a virile horse and the sire of an exceptional number of winning juveniles.

Mastercraftsman was the Champion 2yo colt in England, where he won 7 races worth P1,236,275.

He follows in the footsteps of sires like StarWay, Kaapstad

and Danske at the same stud, to name a few there whose books were almost totally SW mares, SW producers or extremely commercial.
