Breeding and Bloodstock

I Am Invincible has claimed his third straight Australian Sires Premiership, after a season where he set a new record with over $32 million in progeny earnings.

Zoustar’s shot at eclipsing I Am Invincible’s record number of Australian winners in a season is set to go down to the wire as the Widden Stud star moved to 208 for 2023/24, level with the mark I Am Invincible set in 2020/21

Although the number of active thoroughbred stallions in Australia may be on a significant decline, the 2023/24 season has seen a historically high number secure stakes success with their progeny.

Young sire sensation The Autumn Sun, who has produced three Group 1 winners from his first crop, will miss the 2024 breeding season through injury.

Godolphin has opted to retire its multiple Group 1-winning mare In Secret to a breeding career after she suffered a suspensory ligament injury.

With just over a week left of the racing season and premierships set to be crowned, it seems a good time for Run The Numbers to see which trainers, jockeys and sires have made the biggest improvement when it comes to racetrack wins this season.

Vinery Stud Stakes winner Prowess has become the latest star mare set to be auctioned in an online sale ahead of the breeding season.
