what new sires will replace the good ones that are getting older

Downbytheseaside, Captaintreacherous Sweet Lou are all doing a great job & are relatively young compared to BD & Art Major.   Breeders & trainers seem to really like Captain Crunch.  I don’t think I have ever seen an unproven sire get so much support.   Time will tell with him.

 Lazarus seems to be doing well but it’s still early days.

Will be great to see how they go as 3 year olds when filled out a bit. 

The bloke Nat has in the photo above is ULTIMATE SNIPER . He clean swept the 2019 Interdominion at Auckland 2019 in his last 4 starts showing sprint heat speed wins and good staying ability too. 

Being by Bettor's Delight , like Lazarus, I thought the 'Sniper ' might produce solid foals like himself. 

Just found out he (Ultimate Sniper)  is standing in West Australia this spring 😂😂.

sorry about that . you will need someone else a bit closer to Nz 😂

My wifes just got this years standardbred stallions book.

Looks to be a wide range of choices. 

Sweet lou seems very reasonably priced at $7500 plus gst.

king of swing $6,500  lazarus $7,500

bulldog hanover at $10,000. I see hes by shadow play,i don't know whether that will factor in for breeders but a great racehorse.

Bettors delight and captain treacherous still at $25,000.

My wife likes the look of lather up at $4,500. Thats closer to my price range if we were to breed one.

lochaburn the cheapest at $1000 sky major $2500

The trotters seem a lot cheaper,with 9 $2000 or cheaper.

Maybe not the same depth there as the pacers. There doesn't seem any bread and butter type producer in the trotters although majestic son at $5,000 seem one of the better priced. Hes left some good ones but i always think they a bit highly strung.

Father patrick still at $7,500 although personally i'm not a fan,but he always seems popular.

Bettor Wish is doing very well in the States with a small first crop (35) He is leading 2 year old sire on the earnings per foal basis.  Stood for $8,000 + gst here but it’s probably a safe bet that will increase next season 

i see he went 1.47 .8 and 1.47.6 at 3 and 4.The US aged male pacer of his year as a 3 and 4 year old. dexter dunn used to drive him.

His oldest progeny are 2 in the usa.

Those sire stake races can be a bit misleading as far as numbers go. In new jersey in 2022 there were only 13 pacers and 5 trotters stand in the state.

Having said that they had their sires stakes finals for new jersey 3 weeks ago and bettors wish sired the winner of the colts which ran 1.50.4 and the fillies which ran 1.52.2.
