Which Sire is the Leading Sire of 2yo Winners this Season and How Many ?

20 May 13

If you know the answer to this question then give yourself a pat on the back because we anticipate you are in a small select group and we anticipate most readers will be surprised by the answer

Firstly we will answer the second part of the question first !

The answer is 19 2yo Winners.

So who is the sire ? - Well we will give you a few hints: (1) He stands at Coolmore Stud (2) He was a Champion Sprinter (3) His 2yo's ran first and third in a 2yo Stakes Race at Doomben on Saturday (4) A multiple winning daughter of the sire added more black type with a stakes win in the Denise's Joy Stakes at Scone on Saturday.

Worked it out ?

Yes - it's CHOISIR !

Talented filly Diamond Earth (3f Choisir x Face of the Earth, by Strategic) has won some lucrative races during her career to date and at Scone on Saturday landed some valuable Black Type when taking out the Listed Denise’s Joy Stakes over 1100 metres.

The daughter of Choisir won the two year-old fillies event on this same program last year.

The speedy chestnut settled just off the pace and tried hard all the way down the straight to win by a length, her overall record now four wins and three seconds from 15 starts with prizemoney topping $600,000, most of it coming by virtue of wins in the Inglis Banner and Nursery last season at two.

“She’s probably been one of the most durable horses in the stable and continues to perform well” the trainer said.

Brisbane is now on the radar for Diamond Earth.

A $60,000 purchase at the 2011 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale, Diamond Earth is a half-sister to smart mare Halle Rocks being the second foal of stakes-placed Strategic mare Face of the Earth, a half-sister to Group 3 winner and Caulfield Guineas runner-up Face Value.

Diamond Earth was foaled and raised at Coolmore Stud for long term clients.

The brilliant season being enjoyed by Choisir with his juveniles continued at Doomben on Saturday when promising gelding Sir Moments (2g Choisir x Colourful Moments, by Zabeel) scored a stylish victory in the Listed BRC Dalrello Stakes.

Sir Moments showed ability earlier in the season when finishing second on debut in the Listed BRC Phelan Ready Stakes and was having just his third race start in this 1200 metre assignment.

He travelled strongly and let down well to the line to win by three parts of a length over El Toronado (2c Encosta de Lago x Suppose by Danehill) and Chosen Idol (2c Choisir x Academy Idol, by Made of Gold) to give Coolmore sires the trifecta.

“He’s got plenty of ability but he’s not concentrating,” his jockey told reporters, “He just wanted to have a good look inside the last 100 metres. Eagle Farm, a mile, that’ll be his race.”

A $40,000 Magic Millions purchase Sir Moments is entered for the Group 1 BRC Patinack Farm JJ Atkins Stakes over 1600 metres on June 8.

Sir Moments is the 52nd stakes-winner for Coolmore stalwart Choisir and is bred on the exact same cross as last week’s Group 3 SAJC Fillies Classic winner WOWEE, who is also from a daughter of Zabeel.

CHOISIR

Choisir stands this spring at a fee of $27,500 and is the leading sire of Australian two year-old winners this season with 19 individual 2yo Winners of 21 2yo Race Wins to his credit.

He leads Exceed And Excel (12) and Northern Meteor (12) with then Sebring (11) and Not A Single Doubt (11).

CHOISIR has had some Top Performers since the start of 2013 : HISTORIAN (Gr1), WOWEE (Gr3), OLYMPIC GLORY (Gr3), ROYALSECURITYBABY (Gr3), CHOICE BRO (LR), SIREEZE (LR), CHOICE WORDS (LR), PROISIR (LR), GLORY AWAITS (LR) and now SIR MOMENT (LR).

As readers would be aware, Dynamic Syndications believe we purchased the perfect Inglis Classic candidate earlier this year and she is in the care of Australia's Leading Trainer Chris Waller.
Again Chris Waller showed his dominance in the training ranks with a quinella in the Gr1 Doomben Cup. That takes his Group 1 tally to 7 for this year being: SHOOT OUT, FORETELLER, SACRED FALLS, ROYAL DESCENT, RELIABLE MAN and BEATEN UP.
