Leading Sires by 2YO Winners

Tara Madgwick - Friday July 26
With just six days to go of the Australian racing season the race to be leading sire by two year-old winners is a close one.

Yarraman Park's I Am Invincible is setting the pace on 25 winners, but is only two in advance of Arrowfield Stud's champion sire Snitzel, who set the record for Australian two year-old winners in 2017 when posting 32.




Better Than Ready and Deep Field with 21 and 19 winners are in a race of their own to be leading first crop sire by two year-old winners and that's a contest also going down to the wire.
