At week thirty nine (39) of the 2016-17 racing season, we are three-quarters of the way through the racing year so it’s a timely snapshot to see how stallions are performing.
Darley's deceased sire
Street Cry maintains a small advantage of
$97,924 (courtesy of his freak of a daughter
Winx) at the top of the national sire leader board with progeny earnings of $12.58 million.
Chasing hard in second position is Arrowfield Stud's
Snitzel with $12.48 million in earnings, whilst Coolmore's champion Australian sire
Fastnet Rock sits third with $10.2 million and
I Am Invincible is fourth.
King of Kings in the stallion ranks is
Redoute’s Choice (a son of
Danehill). He sits in 10th position and has 3 of his sons in the top 10 with him –
Snitzel (2nd), Not A Single Doubt (5th) and Stratum (8th).
The
Danehill influence remains strong with his other son
Fastnet Rock (3rd), and his grandson
Choisir (9th) in the top 10.
