The following are the flat stallions in order of decreasing 2yo numbers (50+):

Alhebayeb 128
Australia 124
Toronado 121
Olympic Glory 118...

Australia has 124 2yos.

Jim couldn't be considered unbiased, he retains a significant financial interest in Dawn Approach :)

Coolmore bred and raced the dam of Deep Impact, so maybe they are getting a belated return on her sale to Japan.

I wasn't implying anything untoward. I meant that their horse winning, even if he isn't a star or a potential stallion prospect, means that rivals on the potential stallion front (to Churchill for...

It's as much about preventing other horses (potential competing stallions or progeny of competing stallions) from winning as it is about winning.

Aidan O'Brien said in his ATR stable tour that War Decree had done so well over the winter that he would need a run to tighten him up (his words). Surprising that he went off favourite.

Declaration of War stood his first year in Ireland, and has about 115 European bred 2yos, same as Dawn Approach. Camelot has about 150.

Frankel's first crop includes 60 foals of G1 winning/producing mares. The corresponding numbers for his second and third crops are 22 and 16 respectively.

Coolmore are always slow with their returns. Camelot has 150 to run for him, by far the most of any first season flat sire. Declaration of War has about 115 in Europe, quite a few have gone to the...

There's usually a big drop in quality and quantity of mares in a stallion's second book versus the first, so no surprise to see a corresponding big drop in performance for the resulting progeny. But...

I though it was particularly interesting that he said that he was approaching the trials differently this year, more of a softly softly approach. But it's clear that he regards USAR as far superior...

Matt Chapman got a lot more information out of Aidan O'Brien last Sunday by being civil and tactful, than Nick Luck did by being aggressive and tactless (and yes, Chapman managed to be tactful).

I was thinking it was more likely that AOB is still sore over the Nick Luck interview after the Chester Vase.
