    Is Bettors Delight going to leave a successor?

    We are fast running out of time. First season sire (in Aus) Betting Line is near the top of the table but he had a big first crop and has already had 23 to race for 6 winners. 22 of them are from good mares or families. His best so far Whataretheodds is 15th on the 2yo's list. His top USA 2yo last season Abuckabett Hanonver $162k was also his fastest. IMO the jury is still out

    Not so sure of Betting Line as he has Camtastic as the sire of his grand-dam. Camtastic was obviously a top class racehorse, but his siring record in the US and NZ was underwhelming.
    Another bred like this is Betterthancheddar ( Bettors from a Camtstic mare) and he's yet to set the world on fire.

    Both Betting Line and Betterthancheddar were from the Cassie Coleman stable.

    Yes Noel, Betterthancheddar is no longer one of the featured stallions on the USTA's Stallion Showcase nor is he listed on HRA's Sires list and yet I think he has done the best of Bettors sons in the barn

    I don't know about RH Katie. He had 73 (or 63?) of his 93 foals race in 2020 (his first crop) and yet he did not make the top 20 in this table

    https://www.ustrotting.com/trackside...&yr=2020&age=2

    He was probably 21st as I did the maths using the info in this link and he averaged $7,938 per foal (note it is per foal not starter)

    https://www.ustrotting.com/trackside...&yr=2020&age=2

    Here you can see how 28 of the 73 went here

    Maybe we will have to wait a couple of years to see how Tall Dark Stranger's go
    (or maybe it will be Somebeachsomewhere's Downbytheseaside, who shares the same 3rd dam, that makes the sire for this branch of U7)

    Impressive but we are still yet to see a Bettors successor

    To this writer the Sale was an outstanding success with the top price of $200,000 for lot 139, a filly by the first season pacing sire Downbytheseaside. Called Elusive Beauty this filly was from the outstanding 100% producing mare Swinging Beauty 1:49.4 ($893,268) and is a half sister to Captain Barbossa 1:47.1 and Whichwaytothebeach 1:49.2. Odds On Racing LLC was the buyer.

    Lazarus's book has already closed down under

    But the fact remains - Bettors is yet to leave a star stallion successor

    Abuckabett Hanover is still the best advertisement for Betting Line being a successor
