Thoroughbred Stallions: European Freshman Sires of 2013

This book examines the stallions whose first European crop of foals are now two years old, and those stallions who are now standing in Europe but whose first foals, also now two-year-olds, were conceived elsewhere.

Pedigree details, racing records, yearling sales figures, general comments, notes on their prospects as freshman sires, and their potential for the long-term future, are provided for each stallion reviewed, and they include stallions who are standing, or stood, in Ireland, Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy.

This is the year when the great Sea The Stars will have his first runners on the track, when the Australian champion sire Fastnet Rock will be represented by his first European crop, and when celebrities such as Le Havre, Mastercraftsman, Red Rocks, Soldier Of Fortune, and Yeats are others on the long list of Group 1 stars with their first juveniles.
