This was last spring and I haven't updated it to reflect last season's figures but Rakti, Duke of marmalade, Echo of Light, DeportivI had overlooked that. It might help him become a champion sprinter for a couple of seasons as there will be no fear of getting him beaten and prize money is the priority. It is highly unlikely that a 5 furlong specialist would stay a mile anyway.https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/30482441/sires-whose-progeny-improve-from-2---3?post_id=544548087#544548087I had overlooked that.

That will give you an idea of the likely distance ability of sires, and then of their offspring.Two year olds seldom run further than a mile. So 2yo sprinters, middle-distance, and stayers are mostly limited to 5f,6f,7https://community.betfair.com/bloodstock__breeding/go/thread/view/94018/30482441/sires-whose-progeny-improve-from-2---3?post_id=544521509#544521509Look at the Equinome website.

If you look at my table of sires based on number of races won, it is dominated by sprinter/milers who are able to get winners at all age groups.
