As we are closing in on another breeding season, I thought I would just highlight several WA Stallions that are doing very well on the National stage as well as those that are industry benchmarks.
At #1 is of course Snitzel with this year 26 stakes winners including 4 Gr 1 winners. His stock has grossed an amazing $28.4M and counting and he retains his previous #1 ranking from 2017. I Am Invincible is at #2 up from #4 with 19 stakes winners 2 Gr 1 winners and $15M. Coming in third as he did in 2017 is Fastnet Rock with 17 stakes winners 4 Gr 1 winners and $14.9M in earnings.
West Australian Stallions on the national stage doing well include the now deceased Blackfriars at #25 within three spots of where he has finished the last two seasons, this year with 2 stakes winners and $5.1M. His heir apparent at Scenic Lodge, Snippetson, currently stands in #51 his prior seasons at #42 & #38 with just the one stakes winner and $3.8M, his WA bred stock hits the two year circuit next season.
All American comes in next at #57 up #71 last year with just one stakes winner but it was a Gr 1, earnings at $2.6M. War Chant is next at #66 with four stakes winners and $2.22M he previously was at #60 having been #105 two seasons ago. Oratorio is in at #76 with previous season at #83 he had two stakes winners and just hit $2M. Vital Equine is up from #149 to #123 to this year at #80 with one stakes winner and just over $2M in earnings. Trade Fair follows closely behind at #82 with one stakes winner and $1.9M. Demerit has come from the clouds in the last two seasons from #187 two years ago to this year #83 with one stakes winner and $1.9M in earnings.
Universal Ruler is just outside the national top 100 Stallions in #103 place with three stakes winners and $1.3M in prize money earned for connections.
