GB Sires 2024

Too Darn Hot starting to make a name for himself. Fallen Angel's win does not count in my GB list but 20 wins in GB so far for a second season sire and now an Irish Group 1 is impressive. Kingman is having a very successful May with 16 GB wins so far including Quddwah, Elmalka, Candleford and Devoted Queen.

The Havana Grey story continues. Two more winners today makes 42 for the year which is fourth highest sire in GB flat list. Only Dandy Man, Dark Angel and Lope de Vega ahead. Quite amazing in just a third season.

Dandy Man still clear on 72, Kodiac has stormed up to third with 18 so far in June while Too Darn Hot is up to 19th with 31 GB wins in his second season but still only 27th on money won so TDH needs a good GB Group winner. Fallen Angel fits the bill but her big win was in Ireland.

Dandy Man still ahead on 79 but Kodiac continues to charge and now on 73, 50 of those since May 1. Dark Angel 68 then Havana Grey in just his third season on 67 along with Kingman and Lope de Vega.

Same first 2 as they approach 100 GB flat wins in 2024.

Dandy Man 93
Kodiac 90
Dark Angel 83
Havana Grey 83
Kingman 81
Lope de Vega 80
Night of Thunder 78.

2 more for Kodiac today takes him to 100 GB wins just head of Dandy Man on 99.

Can't see anyone stopping Havana Grey heading that list over the next few seasons.

There are some other young sires making headway although none are close to Havana Grey yet. Too Darn Hot is interesting. 51 GB wins so far in his second season is quite impressive but he has yet to produce a really high earner in GB. He has some higher rated progeny in the US and Australia. Saxon Warrior on 45 is a third season sire who made a slow start but is showing signs of progress.

The big improver this month is New Bay with 16 September wins, second only to Kodiac with 18. New Bay seems to making annual improvement in numbers of wins.
