Australias Top Sires

I am writing this article to hopefully give people in the sim an insight
into the sire standings in Australia.

Being a passionate fan of Australian Racing, I am always looking for an opportunity to
raise awareness of the ever increasing ability of Aussie horses and sires.

The following is a list of the top 50 sires standings for the period of 2007/2008 (1 Aug 2007 – 28 May 2008 inclusive):

Most of the sires above will be familiar to a lot of you however some wont. I think the most notable
entries are that of Hussonet (second season sire) sire of Australias current premier racehorse Weekend Hussler
and Exeed and Excel (first season sire) the only first season sire to make the top 50.

I hope this information is useful and if your interested i will posting regular info on the
Australian Racing and Breeding circuit. Good Luck!!!!
