Dynamic Syndications 2009 Blue Diamond Winner REWARD FOR EFFORT keeps the momentum behind his stud career rolling along nicely.
Recently it has been confirmed that
REWARD FOR EFFORT was both the MOST POPULAR SIRE in Victoria last season when the Australian Stud Book released the covering statistics for the 2015 season.

The
Australian Stud Book released final figures for the 2015 stallion season and Reward For Effort led the way in Victoria with a book of
209 mares.
The Group 1 winning son of Exceed And Excel has been popular with broodmare owners since retiring to Chatswood Stud in 2011 and he has repaid their confidence with a constant flow of winners in his first two crops.
A total of 147 stallions stood in Victoria last year.
There were 4828 mare coverings in Victoria which represents a 2.2% increase from the 2014 season (in contrast with a national decrease of 2.3%).

Victoria’s most profitable Sire.
The
2016 Inglis Premier Yearling Sale provided record results across the board and Victorian sires were right at the forefront of proceedings with none more so than
Blue Diamond hero Reward for Effort, who returned an average price of nearly nine times his 2013 service fee.
A blue-blooded son of Exceed and Excel, who is closely related to Golden Slipper winner Overreach, Reward for Effort has been a firm favourite with breeders since retiring to stud in 2011.
Having been priced to appeal at
$11,000 (inc GST) in every season so far
(expected to increase in 2016), he has attracted widespread support from broodmare owners as burgeoning race results have proven his worth.
With his oldest progeny now three year-olds,
Reward for Effort is the leading Victorian based second season sire by earnings and winners and is third on the overall Australian Second Season Sires List to only Hinchinbrook and Beneteau.
Reward for Effort has sired 33 winners including one each in South Africa and Singapore and his best progeny are headed by Group 3 winners Gold Symphony and Take Pride along with the $250,000 Inglis Banner RL winner Dalradian.
Yearling buyers have been quick to recognize his growing success with
14 of his stock averaging $97,500 at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale highlighted by a show-stopping colt from Batik that made
$380,000 for Supreme Thoroughbreds when secured by China Horse Club.
He was the most profitable of all Victorian based sires represented at the sale in terms of multiple of service fee and his colt from Batik was the fourth highest priced of the sale and single highest priced offering by a Victorian based sire.
