Jereme's Jet was a wash-out which really surprised me. I thought he was a big chance to leave a swathe of 2yo winners but from 65 foals, he had 22 starters & struggled to get 5 winners and of those that did get there none of them could beat time with a stick. I note that he has got 8 winners in Oz now, oldest now 3yrs, but 3 of those were bred in NZ so at 5 Oz bred winners his total thusfar remains.
Four Starzzz Shark disappointed me a bit, I thought he would do more, he did Ok but that's about all. They'll come on as 3yos+ no doubt but it would have been good to see some more & better 2yo winners from him. He closed out with 14 individual 2yo winners from 141 foals.
Real Desire didn't have 2yos here in Oz last season but his 3yos didn't do much, at least not that I noticed. They're the only 1st &/or 2nd season sires that I can think of.
The imposing trio of Art Major, Bettor's Delight & Mach Three will prove one Hell of a mountain for any new sire to climb. They (new sires) are going to have to be much the best even to take them on & beat them.
In terms of their combined 2yo earnings, Art Major, Bettor's Delight & Mach Three picked up almost as much $ as the combined 2yo progeny earnings totals of the next 17 sires on the AUS Top 20 2yo Sires Earnings table.
