I see that Ardad's FSS performance had the biggest effect on the sales price of this year's yearlings (up to Oct 17th). His yearling's average price had gone up by more than 250%.

ED, do you think these stats I am putting up are of interest and are they useful? I know that there are more people on here are into jumping rather than the babies but there might be a few lurkers who would have a look at them.
Ah! but a man's reach should exceed his grasp......
Personally I value the stats you put up and I think they pick out the strengths and possible weaknesses of sires. Perhaps they'd be more useful next Spring when their 2nd crops come along.
You and I find 2yo racing fascinating, but I think outside edgt we have few followers. You did all this a lot better than I have done but I think I'm, like you, a bit disillusioned with the lack of response on here so perhaps we are wasting our time. If at the end of next year I feel the same I might stop contributing the daily wins.

You echo my feelings - until next spring then.

The stats are very useful, Colin, and I appreciate the effort you make. The cost of the covering fee is also extremely helpful.

This is a wonderful thread; many thanks to all for your work.
Plenty of bloodstock folk would pay for the stats put up here so please do not lose heart.
P.S. Mehmas fee for 2022 doubled to 50000.
Suppose he will only cover 145 mares so !
