Thanks Sageform. Kyllachy at £15k must be the very best value stallion in this price range. I think his profile is pretty good with trainers (although I am happy to be corrected if that's not the case). He used to be the subject of a lot of posts on this forum but isn't mentioned much lately.

Dubawi is racing along after a slow start. Just 13 wins to the end of April but 19 in May and 11 in June so far after Ottonian at Haydock and Daira Prince in the 3.10 at Yarmouth. Total now 43.

Top 10 second season sires. GB wins in 2017 to date.

Dubawi continues in great form-now 15 in June and 47 for the year after Galactic Prince at Goodwood.

Game Starter was the 21st win for Dubawi in June, far more than any sire. Godolphin rely on him as much as Coolmore on Galileo.

A late across the card treble for Exceed and Excel including Out Do in the Wokingham, Queen In Waiting and Gilmer. Now on 63, just 2 behind Kodiac.

Pastoral Pursuits with 4 winners in 2 days and Sir Prancealot both getting plenty of winners recently.

GB sires to June 30. GB flat wins only. Ex and Ex takes the lead after a huge total in June. Dubawi now into the top 7 who are well clear.

Exceed and Excel  70  (25 in June)
Kodiac  67  (16)

Others with good monthly total.

Sir Prancealot  32  (13) Very good stat for a second season sire)
Pastoral Pursuits  30  (12)

Still a scorching pace set by the top 6 sires. GB total to July 15.
Kodiac 81
Exceed and Excel 77
Dark Angel 73
Kyllachy 69
Oasis Dream 63
Dubawi 60

Another double for Kodiac already today with Foxy Forever and Madeline in the Listed Rose Bowl Stakes. I know he has a lot of runners but that in itself is a tribute to the soundness and ability of his progeny.

I have been informed his AEI is poor?

I just work on number of winners so I will leave it to others to judge his value. Kyllachy still doing well with Classic Seniority winning a £20k handicap tonight and Frosting winning over 10 furlongs!

my hot streak theory working out well with classic seniority, 42 races 10 wins, last 14 races 6 wins, and a class 2 winner last season, only put up 5lbs for that win last year to 90, suppose had something to with all the horses only rated in the high 80's
in that class 2 last year. top draw trainer William haggis, obviously gets some very good stock to train.

£8,000 stud fee seems cheap for Farhh.. first winner yesterday Wells Farhh Go.

Can't be very precocious unless most of them are racing abroad. That was his first win in GB or Ireland.
There is a good Bloodstock article in the RP today comparing Kodiac and Dark Angel. Kodiac stud fee has progressed from Euro 4000 to 50,000 in 8 years!

Another Farhh winner

After 3 wins today Kodiac is the first sire of 100 wins in GB this year so far. Dark Angel continues in close pursuit on 97 while Exceed and Excel after a quiet spell had 4 wins this week to move to 92. One other sire worthy of note this month is Big Bad Bob. After just 6 wins in the first 6 months of the year, he then had 5 in July and no less than 8 so far in August. I often wonder if there is a reason why some minor sires suddenly produce a rash of winners.

After the first 2 rounds of racing today, Dark Angel has 2 more winners making 99 for the year and 15 for August. Kodiac now on 101 with a lot of fancied runners today.

Yet another for Big Bad Bob at Newmarket. That is 10 in August!

Dark Angel 104 at last ahead of Kodiac on 103 after Queen Penn won at Hamilton.

8 months gone and still just 1 win between the top 2. Ex and Ex is losing ground in third.

GB wins in 2017 and August. top 10 sires.

Kodiac had 3 more today and 7 for the month to pull well clear again.

Nine months gone and less flat races from now on.

Leading sires based on GB flat wins to date.

Invincible Spirit  68

Invincible Spirit has had a slow year but breaks into the top 10 after 16 wins in September.

Very tight among the second season sires. GB wins this year again.

Sir Prancealot 44
Nathaniel 40 (not including Enable in the Irish Oaks or Arc of course)
Excelebration  38
Frankel  38
Bated Breath 37

Showcasing is the sire for soft ground. 6 winners in 48 hours!

Nebo was a second win on the day for Kodiac after Best Solution. That brings him to 140-equal with his all time record of GB wins last year. 150 looks likely now.

At the end of the turf flat season the top three sires (GB flat wins) are:
Kodiac 144
Dark Angel 135
Dubawi 123

Those are all higher totals than in any of their previous seasons and Kodiac has already set a new record for GB wins in a calendar year with 6 weeks of the AW to go.

The main drops in total unless they catch fire from now on are Shamardal, Invincible Spirit and Fastnet Rock.

.

An update on the second season sires is interesting in that there are only 10 GB wins between the top 7.
GB flat wins in 2017 to date.

Sir Prancealot 50

Bated Breath 46

Harbour Watch 40.

Kodiac double yesterday takes him 20 clear of Dark Angel with a total of 159 GB wins, 11 so far in December from just 198 flat races-over 5% of all winners this month!
Meanwhile Sir Percy has overtaken Galileo as the highest Derby winning sire in GB wins. 66 for Sir Percy, 63 for Galileo. Prize money would tell a different story of course.

Final table for 2017. Apologies that the forum shift the figures from my spreadsheet. Wins in GB for 2015, 16 and 17 and to date for 2018.   

               2015      2016    2017    2018
Kodiac       135    140    161    5

Dubawi      104    105    127    2
Exceed and Excel 130    132    125    6
Kyllachy    91    106    118    3
Acclamation    128    139    109    4
Invincible Spirit 120    86    94    3

Pivotal    92    91    78    1
Cape Cross    100    95    78    2

Very early days of course but Poets Voice leads the 2018 table with 7 GB wins after a steady rise from 24 in his first season, 52 in second and 72 in his third season last year. He could be the next young sire to break into the top 10 this year. He should get plenty of support from Godolphin. £6000 is surely not excessive.
