Breednet Launch Third Season Sire Table

Tara Madgwick - Monday June 28

Much is made of the performance of first and second season sires in terms of racetrack results, but when their oldest progeny turn four they have to swim in the big pool against all the other sires, so a look at how they are going comparative to each other is interesting.

Breednet is now presenting third season sire tables as an option in our full list of sire tables.

Click to visit the fully interactive third season sires table showing all of them.

These stallions have had a lot of chop and change since their first progeny hit the tracks with Sidestep the Champion First Crop Sire for 2018/2019 by earnings, by virtue of having Golden Slipper winner Kiamichi in his first crop.

Better Than Ready was the front runner by individual Aussie winners with 23 and Deep Field was right on his tail with 21.

At the end of 2019/2020 it was Rubick crowned the Champion Second Crop Sire by earnings, virtue of having sired Yes Yes Yes to win the Everest.

Deep Field was the leading sire by winners setting a record for a second crop sire with 86 on the board with Better Than Ready a distant second with 62 and Toronado (IRE) a threatening third with 54.

Now as their oldest progeny come to the end of their four year-old season we probably see a truer picture of what they can really do.

Deep Field is the leading third season sire by earnings and winners.

Deep Field and Toronado have forged clear of their rivals in terms of winners and stakes-winners with both horses siring their first Group I winners this season in Portland Sky (Deep Field) and Masked Crusader (Toronado).

Both have had fee increases for this spring, Deep Field rising to $88,000 at Newgate Farm, while Toronado moves to $49,500 at Swettenham Stud.

Better Than Ready is consistently outstanding as a source of winners and particularly 2YO winners having started off at a considerably lesser fee of $9,900 compared to Deep Field and Toronado, who both started at $22,000.

Better Than Ready now stands at $33,000 at Lyndhurst Stud.

Hallowed Crown’s presence in the top three by earnings is skewed by the win of his Group I Oaks queen Colette in the rich Golden Eagle last spring, but you can’t deny he’s done a way better job than many expected.

He started off at Darley a at a fee of $33,000, but quickly fell from commercial favour and was moved to Twin Hills Stud last spring and stood for a fee of $11,000 with his fee the same this year.

Hallowed Crown does not have the numbers coming through to keep pace with his peers going forward, but his winner to runner strike rate is excellent and in Colette has shown he can get a serious horse with his recent stakes-winner Lillemor adding to his record, so for those looking for a budget sire with a good profile he fits the bill.
