I compiled a list of leading sires that stand in Europe, after analyzing their results I compiled a list of stallions that stand out.<\/p>\n
I used data from 2015, 2016, and partially 2017<\/p>\n
In order to make the list, the horse must still be alive and not pensioned. Using a criteria of 10% or higher black type horses and 5% or greater graded horses. The list is a bit longer than the North American list but we must also consider that Europe has 5.2% of all races as black type vs 3.7% in the US, so this is bound to skew the numbers a little bit. It will come as no surprise that Galileo is heads and shoulders above any other stallion in Europe and has been for many years. There are a couple surprises on the list worth noting and some that did not make the cut.<\/p>\n
The data is based on stallions standing all or partial year in Europe, results are from all regions of the world and not limited to European racing returns only.<\/p>\n
Meeting the criteria for both 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n
Galileo
\nShamardal
\nDubawi
\nTeofilo
\nPivotal
\nDansili
\nSea the Stars
\nFastnet Rock
\nLope De Vega
\nSoldier Hollow
\nBeat Hollow
\nAdlerflug<\/p>\n
Meeting the criteria in either 2015 or 2016<\/p>\n
Dark Angel
\nManduro
\nDoyen
\nRail Link
\nKendargent
\nPower
\nDragon Pulse
\nFrankel
\nAreion
\nAzamour<\/p>\n
Next level that are close to meeting the criteria but fall just a bit short.<\/p>\n
Invincible Spirit
\nMastercraftsman
\nKodiac
\nChamps Elyses
\nDylan Thomas
\nNew Approach<\/p>\n
Noted up and comers with good early indications.<\/p>\n
Frankel
\nLe Havre
\nSiyouni
\nShowcasing
\nDream Ahead
\nWeiner Walzer
\nSepoy<\/p>\n
Again like the previous article on American Sires, there is some variation between real world returns and sim performance, however it seems that the European sires are more in line with reality except for Galileo who seems to under perform in the SIM vs his real world numbers which are astronomical. Galileo, Sea the Stars and Dubawi are on another level even when compared to others on this list, they clearly stand out in every category.<\/p>\n
In looking at all Northern Hemisphere stallions including Asia in the mix, the only stallion meeting the criteria I used for both North American and Europe is Deep Impact, he is heads and shoulders above any other stallion in Asia and it not even close. Next best is King K and he only hits at about 5% Black type runners.<\/p>\n
If I can find a good sire list resource for Australia\/NZ based stallions with the same criteria I will try to put together a list for them as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
