Freshman Sires

There were a total of 45 North American and European stallions with first foals 2012 (F2012), which had nine or more yearlings sell in their first crops at the 2013 yearling sales, and which now are the 2014 class of freshman sires. Now that the Winter Mixed sales are finishing–Goffs today and tomorrow wraps them up– next up are the 2-year-old sales, kicking off at Barretts early next month, and many of these 45 sires will have their first representatives at the upcoming juvenile sales. Perhaps unusually, perhaps also a sign of the times, 23 of the 45 stand or stood in Europe, as
opposed to 22 in North America.
