No Nay Never’s are Coming to a Sale Near You

Tara Madgwick - Friday October 12
Few stallions achieve equal success in both hemispheres, so Australian breeders and yearling buyers can often be skeptical when it comes to assessing the first crop Northern Hemisphere achievements of shuttle sires, but it's hard to ignore what No Nay Never (USA) has achieved this year and that success has been reflected in the Tattersalls sale ring this week.

No Nay NeverScat Daddy's first son to stud, No Nay Never is the leading first crop sire in Europe. He has sired 25 winners from 53 starters, with five stakes-winners and a further four stakes-place-getters on his honour roll which is headed by Group I winning colt Ten Sovereigns, interestingly from a daughter of Exceed and Excel.

This week at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book One, No Nay Never had 10 yearlings average 331,000 guineas which put him fourth on the sires by average list behind only Galileo, Dubawi and Frankel… that says a lot for the demand for his stock!

While Australian breeders will never have access going forward to Galileo, Dubawi or Frankel unless they send mares to the Northern Hemisphere, No Nay Never is here right now standing at Coolmore at a fee of $19,250.

Some eyebrows were raised when his Australian fee was elevated this year from $11,000 to $19,250 before he even had a yearling sold here, but in light of current events we can now see why No Nay Never is held in high regard.

His top sellers at Tattersalls this week were fillies from Shelley Beach, Seeking Solace and Opera Fan that made 650,000 guineas, 600,000 guineas and 525,000 guineas while his most expensive colt from Hurricane Emma made 400,00 guineas.

No Nay Never has only around 50 Australian yearlings so it will be interesting to see where they fit into the sales scene here next year and what our local buyers make of them, but there is no denying that in Europe right now, he's the hot young sire on the block.
