After eight weeks of the 2014-15 racing season,
Coolmore Stud's FASTNET ROCK finds himself at the helm of the Australian Sire’s Premiership (by progeny earnings), with a lead of $247,513 over
Arrowfield Stud's reigning Champion Sire
REDOUTE’S CHOICE.
FASTNET ROCK REDOUTE'S CHOICE
These two elite stallions, who both cracked through the million dollar earnings mark last week, were joined this week by
LONHRO and SNITZEL.
LONHRO SNITZEL
Whilst evergreen
Top 10 Sire COMMANDS who has been Australia’s best source of winners for 4 of the past 5 seasons, was regretfully lost to the industry earlier this year.
COMMANDS
He currently sits in eighth spot on the Ladder which is very congested between S
TRATUM, CHOISIR, SEBRING, COMMANDS, STREET SENSE and STREET CRY. A win or two either way will see a significant shuffle of these spots.
STREET CRY who tragically past away this week, fills the final spot in the
Top Ten as at 25 September.
It looks to be an intriguing battle again this weekend and there is sure to be some shuffling of spots amongst the Big Boys and its anticipated that a few will hurdle over the million dollar mark.
PREMIERSHIP LADDER
Fastnet Rock - $1,567,971
Redoute's Choice - $1,320,458

NOTE: When you drill down into these figures, the facts support that
REDOUTE’S CHOICE remains the UNDISPUTED KING OF AUSTRALIAN SIRES. Despite currently sitting in second place on earnings $247,513 behind
FASTNET ROCK. However
FASTNET ROCK in this eight week period has had an extra
54 more Individual Runners than
REDOUTE’S CHOICE over this same period.
FASTNET ROCK has had 35 Individual Winners from 140 Runners whilst REDOUTE’S CHOICE has had 16 Winners from 86 Runners.
Both Sires progeny have won 4 Stakes Races each whilst
FASTNET ROCK has had 4 Individual Stakes Winners whilst
REDOUTE’S CHOICE has produced 3 Individual Stakes Winners.
Therefore it’s the greater opportunity through racetrack starters that has
FASTNET ROCK at the TOP of the SIRES PREMIERSHIP over
REDOUTE’S CHOICE by earnings.
The battle remains intriguing.
