The first major Australian sale of the New Year is done and dusted following the conclusion of the 2009 Magic Millions Yearling Sale Sessions One to Five, so what did we make of it?
This is a part of our ongoing series of articles leading up to the 2009 Magic Millions Yearling Sale where we will attempt to highlight five yearlings each week that ON PAPER at least, appeal as being suitable for a specific goal or are bred to a specific requirement and this week we’re looking at the ‘double Danzigs’.
Given the dominance of the Danzig sireline in Australia it’s not surprising that more and more yearlings are popping up that are inbred to this most influential son of Northern Dancer.
Northern Dancers Continue to Dominate NH Group Ones
The world’s most powerful sireline has again come up trumps in the Northern Hemisphere, the Northern Dancer stock dominant in Group One racing throughout North America, Great Britain and Ireland in 2008.
As part of an ongoing Breednet project we take a look at the sirelines producing the Group One winners both in Australia and worldwide, looking for trends and an overall picture of what works in terms of results at the highest level.
