Sires in form August

Oasis Dream has been lagging behind the top 5 this year so far but 4 winners today brings him to 6 already in September.

Where are the Coolmore Stallions?

Producing lots of winners in Ireland.

Why do none of their stallions make your list? There must be some logical reason? After all Invincible Spirit is Irish based and he is top of the list.

I have no idea. The leading Coolmore sire on my list is Footstepsinthesand joint 10th with 61 and Galileo in 14th place with 58 winners. The reason that Galileo is low on the list compared to his top spot on the money list is that he has hardly any AW winners.

the maktoums' boycott of coolmore-sired yearlings must be a factor

Good point. I can't say that I take much notice of where sires are standing or who uses them. I just keep my own stats to guide me to finding winners.

The leading sires are dominating results today (Monday) Some very expensive blue blooded horses running and the 4 Godolphin winners so far have been Dubawi, 2 Oasis Dreams and a Cape Cross. Moshe by Dansili was another that  had a classic pedigree but only managing to win a lowly maiden in September. The odd one out is the Piccolo winner of a 12 furlong handicap at Hamilton. Meanwhile Hard N Sharp was the ninth winner for Approve this month.
