JUDDMONTE SUCCESS IN EUROPEAN RANKINGS
The World Thoroughbred Rankings for 2011 have just been released, and of the 40 sires represented by progeny in the Two-Year-Old European Classifications (juveniles rated 110 or higher), Juddmonte stallions DANSILI and OASIS DREAM came out on top.
DANSILI was responsible for four of the two-year-olds, namely the fillies Fallen For You and Fire Lily, both on 111, and the colts Requinto and Tenth Star, both rated 110. OASIS DREAM is the sire of three - Power (117), Bronterre (114) and Reply (110).

There was further evidence of the success of Juddmonte stallions in the list of leading three-year-olds (rated 115 and above), with DANSILI the sire of the three on the list (including Zoffany at 118) and Cacique (a full brother to Dansili and CHAMPS ELYSEES) the sire of two horses rated 117 from a first crop of just 28 (Census and Mutual Trust). BEAT HOLLOW, who enjoyed a fantastic 2011, was also represented by two, namely Great Voltigeur Gr.2 winner and Breeders’ Cup Turf Gr.1 runner-up Sea Moon (121), and the hugely exciting Beaten Up (119).
Of the older horses, DANSILI again had three representatives, including Bated Breath (118), whilst the multiple Gr.1 winner Twice Over (125) continued to fly the flag for OBSERVATORY.
