Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted February 18, 2020 Journalists Share Posted February 18, 2020 Mehmas (Ire), Shalaa (Ire) and The Gurkha (Ire) jointly head Fitzdares’s market for champion first-season sire of 2020 at 5-1. Also featuring prominently are Territories (Ire) (6-1) and Pride of Dubai (Aus) (8-1) as well as Adaay (Ire), Awtaad (Ire) and Twilight Son (GB), all at 12-1. The odds are for win only, with the champion first-season sire to be determined by number of winners. “This year’s market has an open look with co-favourites Mehmas and Shalaa having plenty of firepower to go on the track,” said Glyn Warne, head of anteposte and international at Fitzdares. “Both were devastatingly quick 2-year-olds themselves, and Mehmas in particular had a similar racing career to last season’s champion first-season sire by winners Gutaifan, having raced early and solely as a juvenile. “There have been encouraging reports about Territories, and his yearlings have obviously made a good impression at the sales, while an interesting selection could be Pride Of Dubai who, like fellow Australian sprinter Brazen Beau last year, has already started well Down Under.” The post Mehmas, Shalaa, The Gurkha Head First-Season Sire Market appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
