Having looked at the performance of first season sires at Magic Millions Book 1 on Sunday, we decided to take a look at the second season horses given the strong racetrack start for Wootton Bassett (GB), Farnan and Ole Kirk, who have all sired top class pre-Christmas juveniles.
It is normal for sires to register a drop in average into their second year as the novelty of being a first season horse is a powerful market influencer and for a lot of sires, their first crop average may very well be the best they ever achieve.
Farnan held up well with his results boosted by a very strong group of colts with his seven top sellers priced from $280,000 to $750,000 all colts with his top seller from Festivity bought by James Harron Bloodstock Colt Partnership/Tony Fung Colts.
