USA 2yo Sire Stats 2021
(I might see if I can't include/subtract top performer at some stage)

A bit clumsy looking but I have added the average earnings Without Highest Earner in red

You can see that the top 2 standout then the gaps start opening up
It is different from the way we usually do it
They have average per foal
We generally use average per starter
I think I prefer per foal actually

I know it is only their 2yo's but it seems to me that there is not as much money in USA 2yo racing as I imagined

ps I don't think it is necessarily fair to leave out highest earner but even this single table shows how one horse can sometimes distort the average (probably why median is sometimes preferred to mean/average)

Seeing as though I have the info at my fingertips thanks to the above calculations and some may be interested, here are their top earners

Captaintreacherous $281k

Sweet Lou $238k

Always B Miki $352k

Odds On Equuleus $227k

Tellitlikitis $196k

Big Jim $449k

World Of Rocknroll $126k

Huntsville $170k

American Ideal $238k

Betting Line $85k

I am on a roll, here I have added the sire behind the leading 2yo pacers in the US

Interesting that Bettors Delight is not in the Top 20 by 2yo average earnings (see post 91 table)
He has the 9th highest earner in Silver Label but obviously his 116 foals average under $9,000
(He sneaks into 18th for 3yo's by average earnings)

Nor did Somebeachsomewhere make it with his last small crop of 20
He however is 2nd only to Always B Miki on the 3yo averages table

Good work Kev. These analyses are quite revealing. Downbytheeaside' especially.
It's quite amazing how stats reveal a different picture to what ads for stallions try and tell you.

There's no question though that the Direct Scooter male line from Mach Three has radically changed breeding. Also how sons of non-commercial stallions...Always A Virgin ( Always B Miki) and Yankee Cruiser ( Sweet Lou) can extend their sire-line.

A super win by Anne's Irish Black Label to win the fillies Tatlow first up
I am starting to worry about not taking the opportunity to by into her little ¾ bro (it was only my misgivings about Betting Line that stopped me)

Here is another serious 2yo filly for you
Amore Vita had her first start in the country at Bendigo tonight and "blasted them off the park"
Despite drawing the 2nd row she worked to the death and ran the fastest mile rate of the night - even though 4 of the races were over a shorter distance
