The fireworks from second-crop European sires are continuing. Leading second-crop sires by 2014 progeny earnings at this moment (click here) is the Coolmore sire Thewayyouare (Kingmambo) by virtue of Toast of New York's $1.2-million payday in the G2 UAE Derby at the end of March. Thewayyouare was bought as a yearling by agent Herve Barjot for Irish owner Sean Mulryan from a Coolmore partnership. Trained by Andre Fabre, Coolmore bought back into him before he won the G1 Criterium International as a 2-year-old. He didn't win again and Toast of New York was from his first and only American crop at Ashford before Coolmore transferred him back to Ireland. Toast of New York was last reported to be heading for the June 7 G1 Epsom Derby after being supplemented and, though he won on Tapeta (all-weather) in Dubai and nobody can see past Australia (GB) (Galileo {Ire}–Ouija Board {GB}) in the Derby betting, Toast of New York ran an RPR (Racing Post Speed Rating) of 115 in Dubai and has an Official Rating (OR) of 116. Australia's OR is 119. Toast of New York was 50-1 yesterday on Betfair for the Epsom Derby and Australia was 7-5.
