Here is the latest harness racing two-year-old money winning Sires list in North America and at Harnesslink we will keep you up to date every Friday, New Zealand and Australian time with the actual statistics.
Again this week we include the list of average earnings of the top 20 stallions that show an interesting comparison.
For breeders down under this is an important time for deciding on what stallion they need to breed their mare to this coming season.
The new first season sires are well on their way to giving some indication of what chance they have of competing with the established sires.
From a breeders point of view they need the facts rather than the bluster from the Stallion Owners as to what they breed to this coming season is going to impact their financial situation in three years time.
These statistics are freely available on the Standardbred Canada site daily.
Captaintreacherous continues to lead the list with two winners of over $100,000. They are his top filly Marsala Hanover 1:52f at $192,435 and his top gelding Chase H Hanover 1:52f at $109,332.
First season sire Always B Miki has increased his standing jumping to 9th on the top twenty list.
Champion sire Bettors Delight already has three $100,000 plus winners, all fillies to boot. They are Bet On Becky 1:50.4 ($150,333, Scarlett Hanover ($125,924) and Best Head West ($108,637).
