Freshman Sires

The pedigree goddess has spoken:

This is a very informative site. It has good descriptive thumbnails on each new sire, and important information about basic statistics.

Her list for top freshman sire is:

1. Practical Joke
2. Gun Runner
3. Classic Empite
4. Mastery
5. Klimt
6. Mohaymen

My list is:

1. Mastery (let’s go with the Candy Ride angle)
2. Gun Runner (obvious, but solid, Asmussen???)
3. Gormley (I like all things John Sheriffs)
4. Connect (a quicker Curlin?)
5. Unified (from Centennial)
6. Classic Empire

We both leave out the obvious Arrogate. She makes a strong point that Unbridled Song has not been a good sire of sires. It might be a bad sign that Classic Empire’s fee is already down to $17,500. I will continue to play against Into Mischief, so no Practical Joke for me.

This is a great class of freshman sires. There might be solid values at the bottom of the list.
