Sires to end October. Flat GB only

Are last years numbers for the total season and if so when does that end?

Whole calendar year Jan 1 to Dec 31.

Update on leaders to end of November 2016. 2015 total for full 12 months.
A big month for Acclamation who is now level with Kodiac and for Exceed and Excel.

           2015    2016
Kodiac       135    134
Acclamation    128    134
Exceed and Excel 130    128
Dark Angel    104    115
Dubawi            104    102
Kyllachy    91    101
Cape Cross    100    91
Pivotal            92    88
Oasis Dream    94    85
Shamardal    121    84
Fastnet Rock    29    84
Invincible Spirit 120    84

After a rather quiet month of November, Kodiac is finishing with a flourish. A double today brings the total GB wins to 140, comfortably the highest total by any sire in a calendar year since I started my records in 2000.

any end of year totals for the sires for 2016?  and what have you learned, any pointers for the up and coming AW and flat season,
trends or things to look out for in the summer. good to hear sir percy has been doing well. TIA

End of 2016 table, GB wins, 60 or more in the calendar year. Kodiac total of 140 is the highest since I started to keep the records, but Acclamation only 1 behind. Apologies for the layout copied from Excel. Betfair forum rearranges it.

Interesting that there seems to be big drops in winners for Invincible Spirit and Shamardal-two pretty pricey stallions.

Any reason for this in your opinion sageform? Shamardal is essentially private to the Maktoums and their associates these days of course.

Could be to do with how many of their progeny race abroad? Shamardal must have a lot in France and Dubai. He only had one in Nov and one in Dec. The big advances were by Arcano, Fastnet Rock, Sea The Stars, Monsieur Bond and Champs Elysee.

watchout for the progeny of SEE THE STARS on the AW, very prolific on the AWHTH

Without any knowledge of the mares he attracted in the last 2 years, I predict that Champs Elysee will be a sire to watch.

Dark Angel had a very good 2016 and has started 2017 well with 6 GB wins already.

serenade the stars runs tonight at chelmsford 7.00 by sea the stars, 9/4 yesterday would of been a good trade, looks like going off at evens now.
already missed the price, will be interesting to see how, gets on tonight.

serenade the stars wins easily by 4 lengths at 11/10

Kheleyf has been the one setting the early pace this year. 8 so far with Dark Angel on 7.

SCUZEME by kheleyf good winner tonight, looks one to follow especially at newcastle

That was 10 for Khelyf. Rare to get double figures in January. It remains to be seen if they keep on winning.
