Pride of Dubai vs Vancouver

Tara Madgwick - Monday June 13

The Australian General Sires List has produced a thrilling battle between I Am Invincible and So You think with some $300,000 splitting the pair whose earnings both top $18million, but that’s not the only sire division looking at a close finish with two former Group I winning 2YO’s going head to head in another.

Golden Slipper winner Vancouver and Blue Diamond winner Pride of Dubai both started their stud careers at Coolmore and with just over a month of the season to run the pair are sitting at the top of the third season sires list by earnings and have each sired 60 winners.
