HUSSONET is rapidly assuming the heights he reached internationally. The six-time Champion Sire of Chile and five-time Champion 2yo Sire of Chile is currently Second Season Champion Sire Elect in Australia, his nearest rival more than $2.5 million in arrears. Hussonet’s first Australian crop produced Champion 3yo and six-time G1 winner Weekend Hussler; his second crop the G1 Blue Diamond winner Reaan. Hussonet (USA) is also the sire of Rios, Husson Lightning, Huiskes, Dirty etc. Free of Northern Dancer blood, Hussonet has already proven the success of the outcross with black type performers Reaan, Dirty, and Brazen Hussey all out of Danehill mares. Hussonet’s 2008 fee has been set at $137,500 incl GST.

FLYING SPUR is currently Leading Sire of Australia and his progeny’s 2008 performances have mirrored 2007. The sire of ten individual G1 winners and 64 stakes winners, Flying Spur has produced three individual G1 winners this season: Champion 3yo Filly Elect Forensics, Dealer Principal, and Casino Prince. Off a fee of $40,000 (excl. GST), Flying Spur’s yearlings averaged $314,250 at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale with a top price of $1 million. Flying Spur’s 2008 fee will increase to $137,500 incl GST.

REDOUTE’S CHOICE, 2006 Champion Sire, will retain his 2007 fee of $330,000 incl GST. Redoute’s Choice boasts an 11.9% stakes winners to runners ratio. He is the sire of twelve individual G1 winners and this year produced Amelia’s Dream - the “highest rated 2yo filly in the last 25 years” (Australian Timeform 124).
The leading sire at Easter for the past four years, Redoute’s Choice continued his domination in 2008 with 49 yearlings selling at an average of $791,735 including 15 for more than $1million and the two top-priced lots at $2.7 million and $2.5 million respectively, plus the top priced filly at $1.8million. Redoute’s Choice’s Easter results followed the benchmark set at the Magic Millions sale in March when 25 of his progeny sold at an average of $671,600 with the equal sale toppers both sons of Redoute’s and both selling for a sales record price of $2.2 million apiece.
