Sires with First Crop Foals selling in 2013

(1).Canford Cliffs (IRE)
Canford Cliffs retired to Coolmore with 5 Group 1 wins to his name. He won 3 consecutive races at Royal Ascot at 2,3 and 4 years including the Group 2 Coventry Stakes, Group 1 St James Palace Stakes and Group 1 Queen Anne stakes where he beat high class mare Goldikova. Canford Cliffs race record secured him a place at stud as he has no particular breeding. Canford Cliffs is a son of Tagula, himself a son of Taufann this sire line is completely free of Northern Dancer blood. Canford Cliffs remains Tagula's only Group 1 winner to date. Canford Cliffs is out of the unraced Marju mare Mrs Marsh who is also completely free of Northern Dancer line. He seems the perfect outcross for Northern Dancer line mares which is inundated in Europe. Canford Cliffs first foals look very well and he seems to stamp his stock. It is interesting how he will fare as a sire with his breeding.

(2). Dick Turpin (IRE)
A dual Group 1 winner Dick Turpin retired to The National Stud after wins in the Group 1 Prix Jean Prat and Premio Vittorio di Capula, that win secured him with the title of champion Italian older horse. Dick Turpin is a son of Group winner Arakan, himself a son of Nureyev. Dick Turpin is out of Merrily a daughter of Sharrood, he is free of Northern Dancer blood on his dams side. Dick Turpin's first foals really looked the part with some nice scopey attractive individuals. He has also been warmly received in Australia where he shuttles for the Southern Hemisphere season.

(3). Dream Ahead  (USA)
Dream Ahead was a dual Group 1 winner in France and England as a 2yo where he won the Prix Morny and Middle Park Stakes. He was JT champion European 2yo with Frankel that year. Dream Ahead proved to be a lucrative sprinter as a 3yo winning three more Group 1 races including the Betfred Sprint Cup, Darley July Cup and Prix De La Foret in France where he beat the champion mare Goldikova. Dream Ahead is by Diktat out of Group 2 Flying childers winner Land Of Dreams. He is inbred 4x5 to Northern Dancer and 4x5 to Group 1 Prix De Abbeye winner Balidar. He suits both Sadler's Wells and Danehill line mares the 2 best broodmare sires in Europe. His pedigree suits a lot of European mares. Dream Ahead's first foals have done their sire justice impressing breeders in both Hemisphere's. His first book at Ballylinch stud included 7 Group 1 producers.

(4). Lilbourne Lad (IRE)
Lilbourne Lad proved to be one of the toughest 2yo's of his generation. A winner of the Group 2 Railway Stakes, he was 2nd in the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes. A son of leading 2yo sire Acclamation, Lilbourne Lad is out of the Green Desert mare Sogno Verde. Lilbourne Lad stands alongside his sire Acclamtion at Rathbarry Stud. He only ran as a 2yo and was quickly acquired by Rathbarry stud to help cover some of the mares originally sent to his sire. Lilbourne Lad's first foals will surely be sought out after by buyers. He stands this season at €7,500.

(5). Poet's Voice (GB)
Poets Voice finest hour came in the Group 1 QEII stakes at Ascot where he beat multiple Group 1 winner Rip Van Winkle. His only Group 1 win he was also a winner of the Group 2 Champagne stakes by 4 Lengths as a 2yo. He is one of the early sons of his champion sire Dubawi at stud. He is from a high class family synonymous with Grade 1 winners. Poets Voice covered 38 Listed or Group performers and the dams of 34 Stakes winners. Breeders have been pleased by the look of his first foals.

(6). Pour Moi (IRE)
Pour Moi's win in the  2011 Epsom Derby was probably one of the astonishing performances I've seen by a 3yo colt. He showed a tremendous burst of acceleration to snatch the win from subsequent Irish Derby winner Treasure Beach.  Pour Moi is by champion sire Montjeu out of the unraced Darshaan mare Gwynn. He is from the family of fellow derby winner and world champion racehorse Lammtara. I can see Pour Moi's foals proving quite popular at the sales. He looks a lovely sire in the making. However the only concern I have about his future career at stud is his sires poor record at producing sires. However this seems to be changing with Motivator siring the high class unbeaten dual Group 1 winning filly Treve and Authorized also siring a Group 1 filly in Ambivalent. If Montjeu is to get a future champion sire son at stud, I really fancy Pour Moi's chances.

(7). Roderic O' Connor (IRE)
Roderic O'Connor retired to Ballyhane Stud as the winner of 2 Group 1 races including the Criterium International as a 2yo and the Irish 2000 guineas as a 3yo. Roderic O'Connor is by sire sensation Galileo who is already proving to be a very good sire of sires. Roderic O'Connor is out of Danehill mare Secret Garden. He is from the family of Arc winners Detroit and her son Carnegie and high class filly Banimpire.  The Galileo/Danehill cross has produced outstanding horses on the track and it seems to continue in the breeding shed with champion 2yo colt Teofilo already siring 5 individual Group 1 winners since his retirement to stud in 2008. Roderic O'Connor's first foals really do look the part and i've been highly impressed by what ive seen he could play a nice role in the upcoming sales.
