The bookmaker Fitzdares has released prices on the first-crop stallions vying for the 2019 Champion First-Season Flat Sire title. Shadwell's MG1SW sprinter Muhaarar (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) holds pride of place among the 11 priced stallions.
“Our early favourite in a most open market is Muhaarar, an exceptional sprinter, we can expect to see plenty of classy types,” said Glyn Warne, Head of Antepost and International for Fitzdares. “Dual Guineas winner Gleneagles (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), from an outstanding family, looks an obvious candidate, while Gutaifan (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) will not be short on numbers. However yearlings by Tweenhills' Hot Streak (Ire) (Iffraaj {GB}) obviously made a very good impression at the sales and we look forward to seeing plenty of precocious types. He could be the market springer. It will be great to see Golden Horn (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire})'s progeny on track but probably at the back end of the year. There are so many exciting new sires, let's hope it's an outstanding season.”
