FIRST CROP SIRES to Follow their Progeny into the 3YO SEASON
A review of the
“Who’s Hot and Who’s Not” lists for the 2021/22 Racing Season promises to be intriguing.
We highlight three of
last season’s first crop sires who are considered
“sleepers” in the
FIRST CROP SIRES Premiership that
smart money will follow in these sire’s quest to be
Crowned Champion Second Crop Sires in 2021/22: (in alphabetical order)
AMERICAN PHAROAH: This sensational racehorse is now a champion sire in his own right in the USA. He has 109 live foals from his first crop but only had 21 Australian runners, where he had 4 winners which is surprising because none of his progeny are bred to be precocious. His progeny is bred to be stout middle-distance types that will be coming into their own as distances for 3yo’s increase. He will breed you a Derby / Oaks candidate well before he will breed a 1200m galloper, and they will be better as 4yo’s and older horses. There are so many in training all out of high-class mares. The only thing his progeny needed is time. His progeny should prove irresistible later this year. Coolmore Stud: 2021 Service Fee:

ASTERN: From 112 live foals in his first crop, ASTERN is creating a real buzz in the market. Genetically his progeny are bred to be 1600m horses but he was a sprinter and his progeny have hit the ground running. He’s had 10 winners including a Stakes Winner from 26 runners and his progeny as a son of Medaglia D’Oro will naturally be better with time. He won the Gr1 Golden Rose as a 3yo. Darley Stud: 2021 Service Fee:
$16,500
FROSTED: Off just 63 live foals in his first crop, the stallion can’t do any better than he is doing. From 16 runners – 5 Winners and 2 Stakes Winners. The progeny of this sensational son of Champion Sire TAPIT was a miler + racehorse whose progeny will certainly be better 3yo’s than they were ever going to be as 2yo’s. Watch as the distances increase the Frosted progeny make their mark. The drama will be buying a yearling by him next season as there are only 53 live foals from this crop.
