Sire Rankings – Top 20

Let’s do another sire ranking after the sales. Some sires will fall out of my ranking because they just did not have many horses available in the sale (i.e. Shamen Ghost, Vancouver). Other drop out because their collection of mares was not interesting. Some advance in my rankings because they are getting cheaper

1. Midnight Storm – Pioneerof the Nile for $10,000, turf, stamina, and durability
2. Gormley – got some action at the sale, my speed horse
3. Point of Entry – my favorite turf horse, son of Dynaformer
4. Summer Front – sneaky good turf and dirt
5. Maclean’ Music – will Jackie’s Warrior go two turn, I think so
6. Tonalist – still my favoritre pedigree, average yearling price -50%
7. Connect – son of Curlin, love the West Point and Ironhorse selections
8. Twirling Candy – not thrilled by the mares bred to him
9. Honor Code – average yearling falls from $76,000 to $48,000
10. Air Force Blue – I still think he can go two turns, Eclipse dove in
11. Dialed In – getting better mares. has a BC contender
12. Noble Mission – still holding out hope for son of Galileo
13. Frosted – average price -50%, the value is now
14. Cairo Prince – stretching for turf ability, maybe getting better mares
15. Union Rags – my Unicorn, now my favorite expensive sire, avg. -45%
16. Tapiture – getting better mares?
17. Lemon Drop Kid – old reliable
18. Palace Malice – still holding out hope
19. Blame – boring but solid
20. Orb – the favorite of my “dirty dozen”
