"Week 3" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin

Throughout the world, Mr Prospector and Storm Cat "clusters" dominate "Group 1" winners and the complete list will be available later next week.

It is a different story in Australia, the volume of stallions within the Danehill cluster indicates he will always have most winners on any given Saturday for overall winners across the 40-50 races each week in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide

Full results below - here is a short summary:

• Danehill line stallions - 14 winners

  
  

• Mr Prospector line stallions - 7 winners

  
  

• Encosta De Lago line stallions - 5 winners

  
  

• Green Dancer line stallions - 5 winners

• Halo line stallions - 3 winners

LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin

As previously noted, Pharos will always be the leader in this section by sheer volume of broodmares from that stallion stem at nick 19 represented at the bottom of fourth generation [dam - grand dam - great grand dam].

The battle within of the big three lines at nick 21 is interesting and Nasrullah provided most winners in week 3.

• Pharos line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 25 winners

  • Nasrullah x 11, Nearctic x 8, Royal Charger x 3 and Infatuation x 2

• Sickle line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 5 winners

• Star Kingdom line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 4 winners

• Pharamond line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 4 winners

• Forli line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 3 winners

"OVERALL" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin

Danehill dominates “all” runners leaders board after 3 weeks:

1. Danehill [40 wins]

2. Encosta De Lago [19] and Mr Prospector [19]

3. Green Desert [14}

4. High Chaparral [8]

5. Halo [7]

6. Storm Cat [6]

7. Sir Ivor [5]

An intersesting side note to this table of “stallion clusters” are the individual winning stallions after 3 weeks of Saturday racing in Australia.

The Danehill cluster stallions are not at the top of the individual sired winners ????

So my earlier point on the “volume” of runners from Danehill, will have him lead overall - however it’s clear that many other stallions lead the individual metro winners over the Spring.

Here is a short list with any Stallion that has sired 3+ winners:

6 - ZOUSTAR [Encosta De Lago]

4 - I AM INVINCIBLE [Green Desert]

………Then followed by all on winners

3 - AMERICAN PHAROAH [Mr Prospector]

3 - DEEP FIELD [Encosta De Lago]

3 - DUNDEEL [High Chaparral]

3 - HARRY ANGEL [Waajib]

3 - PRIDE OF DUBAI [Mr Prospector]

3 - SNITZEL [Danehill]

3 - STREET BOSS [Mr Prospector]

3 - TORONADO [High Chaparral]

"OVERALL" LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin

1. Pharos [69 wins]

   1. Nearctic x 25

   2. Nasrullah x 25

   3. Royal Charger x 16

2. Star Kingdom [17]

3. Sickle [12]

4. Tourbillon - Byerly Turk line  [9]

5. Pharamond [5] and Forli [5]

6. Princequillo [4]
