Value Sires with first Yearlings in 2015

Dragon Pulse

This good looking son of top sprinting sire Kyllachy, looks sure to be a big hit with buyers with his first yearlings. His first foals proved very popular with some individuals fetching up to €95,000. He also had a colt fetch 50,000gns at the Tattersalls December foal sale. I'm expecting Dragon Pulse to sire good fast two-year-olds that will be precocious from 5F to a mile. He stands at The Irish National Stud for a very reasonable fee of  €6,000. 

Sir Prancelot

This colt was also a tough speedy juvenile winning the Group 2 Flying Childers stakes and also the Listed National stakes. His first foals were very warmly recieved with prices of €110,000, €70,000, €63,000. He proved just as popular at Tattersalls with a filly fetching 120,000gns. Among his first yearlings is a 1/2 sister to leading 2yo's Toormore & Estidhkaar. Like Dragon Pulse, he should get fast early types. He stands at Tally Ho Stud at a fee of €6,000. 

Casamento

The gorgeous looking son of sire of sires Shamardal proved a big hit with his first foals. He is also a 1/2 brother to the dam of Group 1 winner Toronado. Casamento was also a classy 2yo winning the Racing Post Trophy. His foals at Goffs sold for €210,000, €110,000, €60,000, €50,000 etc. While at Tattersalls he had prices of up to €100,000gns. Casamento stands at Kildangan Stud for a fee of €5,000.

Elzaam

Elzaam is without doubt an interesting young sire to the European ranks. He is an Australian bred son of top class sire of sires Redoutes Choice. He was placed in the Coventry stakes and Richmond as a 2yo. His foals at Goffs made €82,000, 62,000, €60,000 etc. His progeny at Tattersalls also fetched 34,000gns, from just five foals offered. Elzaam's fee in 2015 is just €3,500. 

Bated Breath

This horse retired to stud with a very similar profile to his own very successful sire Dansili. Bated Breath was a Group 2 winner & proved a high class sprinter being runner up in no less than four Group 1 races. His only foal at Goffs made €17,500, but his stock at Tattersalls were in high demand with prices of 110,000gns, 95,000gns, 85,000gns, 70,000gns, 60,000gns etc. Among his first yearlings is a 1/2 sister to four time Group 1 winner Kingman. Bated Breath stands at Juddmonte Farms at a fee of £10,000. 

Born To Sea

This horse is probably the best bred sire with first yearlings this year. He is stakes winning 2yo 1/2 brother to sire sensations Galileo & Sea The Stars. While his 1/2 sisters include Group/ Group 1 producers Cherry Hinton & Melikah. As expected Born To Sea was one of the leading freshman sires at the sales last year. His first foals were in phenomenal demand with prices at Goffs going up to €220,000 for a half sister to leading 2yo Bailtha Aga. He also had prices of €120,000, €95,000 €80,000 etc. At Tattersalls his progeny were making 110,000gns, 100,000gns, 70,000gns, 65,000gns. Born To Sea is one of my favourites to be a leading freshman next year. He stands at Gilltown Stud alongside Sea The Stars for €10,000.

 Harbour Watch

Harbour Watch was an unbeaten colt winning all his three starts including the Group 2 Richmond. Unfortunatly he didn't race as a 3yo. He is from an outstanding family. His half sister Europa Point was a dual Group 1 winner in South Africa. This is also the immediate family of leading 2yo Timer County and Group 1 French derby winner Intello. His second dam is also a sister to the dam of world champion Dubai Millenium. Harbour Watch is also by sire of sires Acclamation. He had a small number of foals representing him at Goffs but they were making €38,000, €28,000 etc. while at Tattersalls he had prices of 240,000gns, 100,000gns. Harbour Watch stands at Tweenhills Farm for £7,500. 

Requinto

This young sire should defiantly be capable of siring very fast precocious two year olds. He himself was a very tough 2yo winning the Group 2 Flying Childers and Group 3 Molecomb stakes. He won four of his eight starts at two. His dam Damson, was also a champion two year old winning the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and also winning the Group 1 Pheonix stakes. Requinto's first crop at Goffs made €85,000, €55,000, €40,000, €35,000 etc. His progeny at Tattersalls made up to 43,000gns from just four foals offered. His fee for 2015 is €4,000.
