A month out from the start of the yearling sale season, its timely to look at what’s happening in the
first and second crop sires premiership along with the
overall 2yo premiership race.
Currently
Not A Single Doubt leads the Australian 2YO Sires' prizemoney list over
2nd All American who sits just in front of
3rd placed I Am Invincible, 4th Reward For Effort and rounding out the top 5 in
5th position is Snitzel.
On the
First Crop Sires List, Sidereus is the surprise leading first season sire by winners when he had his
third individual winner from 14 runners on Saturday when 2yo filly Sweet Missile won a bush race at Gunnedah.
To keep these stats relevant,
Sidereus has had 14 runners, which is twice as many as his next closest peer in Love Conquers All who has had 7 runners for 1 winner.
The outstanding sire is Uncle Mo who has 2 winners from 2 runners (100%) and is coming off the back of a wonderful first crop in the USA where he was Champion First Crop Sire and Champion 2yo Sire with 25 individual winners – 7 Stakes Winners – 2 Group 1 winners and Champion 2yo Nyquist.
It’s still very early and with only a hand full of runners in the stats we do anticipate this will change significantly as we head into the big 2yo races in the Autumn.
The Second Crop Sires premierships is really intriguing with 4 sires kicking well clear of the rest.
On Earnings: Hinchinbrook leads the way over 2nd Reward For Effort, 3rd Star Witness and 4th Rothesay.
On Winners: Star Witness Leads with 20 from 52 runners (38.5%), over Hinchinbrook 17 from 47 (36.2%), 3rd Reward For Effort 15 from 41 runners (36.6%) and 4th Rothesay 14 from 51 runners (27.5%)
On Wins: Star Witness has won 25 races over 2nd Hinchinbrook with 23, 3rd Reward For Effort with 19 and 4th Rothesay with 18.
On the Class Factor of Black Type Performance, it’s a different profile with:
Stakes Winners: 1st Reward For Effort with 3 Stakes Winners leads a tie for 2nd spot with these sires all producing 1 Stakes Winner each: Hinchinbook, Star Witness, Lookin At Lucky and Makfi.
Stakes Wins: 1st Reward For Effort with 4 wins over, 2nd Hinchinbrook with 2 wins and a tie for 3rd with one win for each sires: Star Witness, Lookin At Lucky and Makfi.
