"Week 6" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin
Interesting week with the Danehill stallion cluster a clear winner on 12th October.
Full results below - here is a short summary of week 6:
Danehill line stallions - 13 winners
Snitzel x 3

Last Tycoon line stallions - 5 winners
Capitalist x 2, Written Tycoon x 2
Encosta De Lago line stallions - 4 winners

Green Desert line stallions - 3 winners
LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin
It was a great result for Great GrandDam Sire ROYAL ACADEMY [Pharos/Nearctic] collecting 3 winners, each to different stallions:
These 3 winners [2 of them black type] for royal academy were across states:
Rosehill - Anode
Stallion - I am Invincible [Green Desert cluster]
Caulfield - Bellatrix Star
Stallion - Star Witness [Soviet Star cluster]
Murray Bridge - Watchme Win
Stallion - Harry Angel [Waajib cluster]
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] - 28 winners
Nearctic x 13, Nasrullah x 11, Royal Charger x 4
WEEK 6 [12th October] - All results shown here:

"OVERALL" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin
After 285 races of Spring racing [6 weeks]….
Danehill dominates the “all” runners leader board for winners
So the theory of “throw enough darts and you will hit the board more’ is true on Saturday metropolitan race meeting throughout Australia in Spring.
Danehill has 79 wins from 285 races [28% of all races]
Compare this to his closest cluster/s in:
Mr Prospector, on 41 wins [14% of all races]
Green Desert on 29 wins [10% of all races]
Encosta De Lago on 29 wins [10% of all races]
High Chaparral on 15 wins [5% of all races]
Last Tycoon on 13 wins [4% of all races]
Which Sires have produced the most wins
