Fitzdares has chalked up its market for this year’s first-season sire race, with Blue Point the 5/2 favourite to supply the most individual winners in Britain and Ireland before December 31. The multiple Group 1-winning sprinter, who was also high-class at two himself, has 164 two-year-olds to go to war with.
Inns of Court, a speedy son of Invincible Spirit who has the largest crop of this peer group, with 169 juveniles, is second favourite at 7/2. Ten Sovereigns a Middle Park Stakes winner by precocity influence No Nay Never, with 149 runners on his side, is 4/1.
Soldier’s Call, a fast and early son of Showcasing with 121 debut two-year-olds, is available at 9/2, while Too Darn Hot, an unbeaten champion at two by Dubawi and with a first crop comprising 129 foals who have just turned racing age, is on offer at 8/1.
Last year’s Fitzdares first-season sire market saw a small upset, with the odds-on favourite Sioux Nation overturned by Havana Grey, a 9-4 chance when prices were first released.
Fitzdares Head of Horseracing Sam Hockenhull said: “It looks an extremely competitive year, with so many sires holding a strong book. We make Blue Point our market leader. He was such an impressive stamp of a two-year-old and what he achieved at Royal Ascot later in his career will have ensured a superb first book of mares.”
‘What he achieved at Royal Ascot later in his career will have ensured a superb first book of mares.’
“It’s hard to get away from the Tally Ho factor in recent years and with numbers on his side we’ve installed Inns Of Court in second favourite.”
