By:
four winners for Kodiac this afternoon including at least one at each of the three meetings. That is 96 for 2018 in GB.
|
By:
Three C'S in the 8.30 at Lingfield was a very low key 100th winner for Kodiac in GB this year.
|
By:
I know I keep banging on about him but Kodiac is still setting new standards .Since July 1 ,he has s ired 41 GB wins, just one short of one every day. Now 116 for the year. Meanwhile Invincible Spirit has made a move with no less than 6 wins today out of the 49 GB flat races.
|
By:
is it surprising that the stallion(s) covering the most mares have the most winners?
i respect your diligence Sageform, but any chance % or median rating stats could be given a look, surely they are more useful in analysis. |
By:
Not really, I would then have to record every runner by sire, not just winners so 10x more work. It is bad enough when there are 50 flat races on some days. Now that the data is available online, the only reason I still do it is that a) I enjoy it and b) monthly data can be very useful in that some sires come into form in different times of the year. Invincible Spirit was well down the list early in the year but is flying now.
|
By:
Just noticed today for the first time that the print version of the RP carries a "todays sires" table showing the number of wins and percentages for the last 365 days for sires with runners today. I am being made redundant at last.
|
By:
For those still interested these are the top third season sires to date (wins in GB in 2018).
Bated Breath 58 Frankel 51 Mayson 51 Sir Prancealot 50 Nathaniel 44 Dragon Pulse 37 Foxwedge 33. Excelebration 31 Considering that Frankel had none before April 1, he has done well. He would also be easily the best of those for prize money. |
By:
Poets Voice is a huge loss to breeders. Just 4 crops so far and he is on 85 GB wins in 2018, lying sixth in the list of sires by wins. Chapman Billy at Ayr 2.00 was a typically tenacious winner for him.
|
By:
Kodiac closing in on his total for last year with 159 wins so far compared to 161 last year. The biggest improver though is Sixties Icon. He has struggled along on 20-25 wins for several years but Billy Ray today was his 58th GB flat winner of 2018 with 2 months to go.
|
By:
Another calendar year over and Kodiac sets another record for flat wins in UK.
Kodiac 181 (161 last year) Dark Angel 144 Dubawi 129 Exceed and Excel 117 Invincible Spirit 110 Acclamation 107 Poets Voice 97 Lope De Vega 92 |
By:
With just 5 races left in January, Kodiac is dominating the sire table again. A barely credible 14 wins in GB flat races with Acclamation on 7 and the rest on 6 or less. That is many as Kodiac had in January and February combined last year.
|
By:
kodiac has been smashing it up this year so far, lot of good priced winners too, finally started to produce
some group 1 horses. see frankel hasnt dont too badly in january on the AW ![]() dark angel and kodiac,with their big price hikes that happened in 2016, will be expecting some nice horses from these two this year ![]() |
By:
Frankel finally found 2 maiden winners in the last few days of January. I still don't trust them on AW though.
|
By:
With the RP site now providing a filter for GB only I have not posted lately but 4 sires are now coming clear of the pack for GB flat wins this year. Kodiac still ahead with 62, Dark Angel on 58, Dandy Man on 45 and Dubawi on 40. Frankel is doing really well on 35 along with Kyllachy considering he has less crops racing.
|
By:
start looking at racing post today, moneys too tight to mention, do my form study , see how it goes, long term wanna buy some mares, k
|
By:
20 wins in June has moved Dark Angel 3 clear of Kodiac who is having a quiet month by his standards.
|
By:
Mini revival by Kodiac this week moves him back on top with 70 GB wins this year.
|
By:
Dark Angel has made a very strong start to July with 5 more wins and is now clear leader from Kodiac while Dandy Man is still in third and well clear of the rest.
|
By:
Stewards Cup winner made it 98 for Dark Angel from Kodiac on 97. Dandy Man has been quiet and is joined on 71 by Dubawi with Invincible Spirit and Frankel next. Sea The Stars is the leading Derby winning sire on 47 from New Approach on 40.
|
By:
B fifty two brings up 100 for Dark Angel. Kodiac on 98.
|
By:
Night of Thunder
And Due Diligence Both admirable strike rates for first 2yo’s |
By:
Yes as are Cable Bay and Gutaifan. None of them have reached 20 wins yet though.
|
By:
still time for muhaarar to catch up with the rest i hope, results so far have been underwhelming to say the least, another winner yesterday
|
By:
gifted ruler in the 2.30 haydock today, muhaarar colt half brother to kachy, that is a very good pedigree
|
By:
judging by the IR prices gifted ruler was the first one beat, will keep an eye out for that one, with that pedigree
|
By:
Incredible pace still being set by Kodiac and Dark Angel. 104 Kodiac and 103 Dark Angel after the 7.40 at Newmarket and 10-9 this month so far and 3-2 today!. Both striking at one a day.
|
By:
Aryaan at Bath was a 121st win for Kodiac this year and the 27th in August-exactly one per day.
|
By:
Kodiac still clear from Dark Angel but the improvers from last year are Dandy Man, now third on 98, already 13 more than the whole of 2018. Frankel is now ahead of his 2018 total as are Sea The Stars and Zoffany who has made a very big step forward from 47 to 62 and counting.
|
By:
im assuming when you first started counting the winners from each stallion, there wasnt many that achieved a 100 winners or more in a season, what do think
has changed over the years, is it down to more racing fixtures ect |
By:
More racing, more mares per sire and in some cases more older horses staying in training. Cape Cross in the Sea The Stars 3yo year of 2009 had 132 wins which was a record in my tables at the time. Last year Kodiac had 181 and is on target to at least equal that this year.
|
By:
Benbatl was 100 up for Dubawi, one day after Dandy Man also got to the century.
|
By:
|
By:
Dandy Man first three race treble at Ripon!
|
By:
For some inexplicable reason, the leading sire by number of GB wins in October so far is Swiss Spirit with 11. That is nearly 25% of all his wins for the year in 23 days! Is it a combination of softer ground and plenty of AW racing or just a coincidence?
|
By:
Im glad Dandy Man is doing well. Ive got a teeny share in one of his fillies next year!
|
By:
Yes, still in a solid third place ahead of Dubawi.
|
By:
The new season sires that continue to impress are Gutaifan and Night of Thunder. Both had wins at Newbury in very heavy ground after a steady stream of winners on a variety of going.
|
By:
They are very reliable 2yo's. Unfortunately they are found wanting a little in top class even as 2yo's.
|
By:
Ignore last post. It was meant for another response - sorry.
|
By:
With so many meetings lost in the last 2 weeks, the total number of flat races will be down unless they put on a few extra AW ones. Six sires reached 100 GB wins last year. So far 5 have done so this year with Lope de Vega on 88 the only one that might still get there. Acclamation and Exceed and Excel are the ones to drop below the 100 target while Dandy Man on 116 is the only newcomer to the elite group.
