Follow The Stars the percentage sire

Follow The Stars, the former New Zealand and Australian 2YO Colt of the Year, and who is now standing at Medowie Lodge, Newcastle (NSW), of Darren Reay is again among the top bracket of two-year-old percentage sires – in every category.

The Art Major horse has sired 10 two-year-old winners from 25 starters – a 40 percent strike rate – and 25 starters from 54 foals – a 46 percent ratio.

His babies this season have earned almost $260,000, making him the second highest NSW money-winning two-year-old sire.

Follow The Stars’ current crop of babies include the Group 2 WA Champagne Classic winner Bushwacked, the Listed winner Follow The Music (1:56.7), The Good Star (1:55.3), Follow The Ark and the Gloucester Park winners Bonstar and See The World.

Follow The Stars was the leading first crop in Western Australia in 2018/19 and the leading two-year-sire in WA again the following season.
