THREE FOR
OASIS
In 2006, first season sires did not fare too well with their
two-year-olds, accounting for just eight of the 52 horses rated 110
or better. Last season, 13 of the 58 two-year-olds were first crop
products of their sires, several of them US-based.
The highest-rated was Divine Light’s daughter Natagora, although
her sire had stood for one
season in Japan and has now been exported to Turkey. Dubai
Destination (Ibn Khaldun 117), Okawango (Declaration of War 115)
and Acclamation (Dark Angel 114) are all near the top of the list,
but OASIS DREAM is the only first crop sire with more
than one two-year-old in the rankings. He is the sire of Young
Pretender (116), Captain Gerrard (111) and Starlit Sands
.
