Does anyone have a list of 1st season sires for the up and coming flat season.
Can’t wait to see what Toronado has produced.

February 14, 2018 at 07:11 #1342129Nathan, in answer to your question about TORONADO he reportedly he completed 139 coverings and on the figures I have, provided by my friend Gary, has 90 foals. The number of foals may well increase as returns are not always complete.
Other sires’ figures:
ALHEBAYEB 175 coverings 120 foals
AUSTRALIA 157 – 90
BATTLE OF MARENGO 110 – 60
BUNGLE INTHEJUNGLE 117 – 87
CHARM SPIRIT 130 – 79
COACH HOUSE 102 – 71
DUNADEN 87 – 54
ES QUE LOVE 63 – 37
GALE FORCE TEN 152 – 87
GARSWOOD 99 – 70
GREGORIAN 111 – 78
HEERAAT 93 – 67
JET AWAY 151 – 99
KINGMAN 138 – 105
LEADING LIGHT (NH stallion) 274 (phew) – 172
LIBERTARIAN 92 – 50
MOOHAAJIM 52 – 28
MORPHEUS 129 – 92
MUKHADRAM 117 – 84
NO NAY NEVER 118 – 78
OCOVANGO (another NH Stallion) 265 – 182
OLYMPIC GLORY 44 – 42
RULER OF THE WORLD 54 – 36
SEA THE MOON 102 – 62
SLADE POWER 138 – 94
TORONADO (again) 139 – 90
VALIRANN 104 – 77
WAR COMMAND 124 – 94
At a later date I will do a fuller analysis of all of the sires that will have 2-y-o runners this season.
Hope this helps, Nathan.

February 22, 2018 at 13:34 #1343456First Season Sires 2018
Top first season can be calculated in a number of ways, most total earnings, most winning earnings and the one some bookmakers offer prices on is on the total number of races a stallion’s offspring wins.
Over the last three years the sire that has won the most races in a season has been one that has showed pace and class in his races on the track and a certain amount of precocity.
2015 ZOFFANY (Best RPR 120) a Group 1 winner and successful over 6,7 and 8 furlongs and won on his 2-y-o debut.
2016 SIR PRANCELOT (110) a Group 2 winning sprinter also won on his 2-y-o debut.
2017 SOCIETY ROCK (122) a Group 1 winning sprinter who didn’t win on debut but won his second 2-y-o race.
SIR PRANCEALOT the least classy of the three made up for that by having plenty of ammunition and finished well clear in his year’
So if we are looking for this season’s champion freshman it should be amongst the classy sprinters who have plenty of ammunition.
Here is a list of the most likely stallions to make an impression this year:
The list includes the best Racing Post Rating achieved, the number of coverings and the number of live foals. The foals figure is likely to be lower than the actual foals produced as some studs are late returning the numbers.
ALBAASIL – a Group 2 miler with a best RPR of 115 – 10 coverings and 10 foals.
ALHEBAYEB – winner of the Group 2 July Stakes as a 2-y-o and won on his 2-y-o debut RPR 109 175 coverings 120 foals.

Price will be a factor but Who have you got your eye on Colin.?Gaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
February 22, 2018 at 15:03 #1343478Keep coming back to Slade Power, Nathan.
March 15, 2018 at 23:32 #1346900Seabird.
Paddy Power have a market up
you need to go horse racing, specials, Champion First Season Flat Sire 2018
Slade Power 14’s, had a couple of quid on myselfGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
March 16, 2018 at 08:19 #1346968Thank you very much, Nathan.
Will have a look straight away.
March 19, 2018 at 18:07 #1347582Twenty entries for the first 2-y-o race of the season, the Brocklesby, and the fact that FSS BUNGLE INTHEJUNGLE has three of those suggests his stock are proving precocious. Could be this years Sir Prancealot?

March 21, 2018 at 07:10 #1347697Interesting article by Kevin Blake in Thoroughbred Daily News – “How to predict First Season Sire success”

March 24, 2018 at 14:33 #1347981Bungleinthejungle is also 14’s so is very interesting as like you say could produce early and ready ones

March 25, 2018 at 08:30 #1348036No luck for BUNGLE INTHEJUNGLE in the Brocklesby, his best, Carey Street, finished 6th. but ran well enough.
By the way Nathan, were you involved in the naming of the Sir Prancealot colt in that race – Gingersdunthelot?????
Couple of runners for FSS MORPHEUS in the first at Naas.
Colin
March 25, 2018 at 09:03 #1348041haha Colin
no, I think ginger would be hard pressed to ‘do the lot’ his 100 point stake is 0.000001% of his bank
I’ve have named it Sir Gingert!ts or something like thatI still think your call on Slade Power looks the best although in my heart of hearts would love to see Toronado banging out the winners
