Sire Results

Let’s try to make some sense of the results now that the yearling sales are complete.

General Conclusions:

  1. Its all about recent performance Constitution, Into Mischief were the big winners
  2. Speed sells – compare Unified and Cupid to Keen Ice
  3. There is a lack of turf sires – Kitten’s Joy was a big winner
  4. Freshmen sell – I think most would say the new class did well
  5. Runhappy and Frosted were the big losers
  6. The average decline was -20% to -30%
