Million Dollar sire does it again

MILLION Dollar Cam has been once again crowned New South Wales Sire of the Year.

The evergreen stallion has won the award twice previously and has plenty of breeding left in him according to Yirribee Pacing Stud co-founder Rod Woodhouse.

“He has just had his best year this season for a while which is promising,” said Woodhouse.

“He’s been standing at our stud for more than a decade now and while he is healthy and has the desire to breed he’ll keep going.

“He is a lovely horse and does a great job.

“He doesn’t get a lot of numbers but his average earnings per starter is around $30,000.”

Million Dollar Cam was crowned 2017 and 2019 NSW Sire of the Year.

Last season his progeny collected $888,563 in stakes with 81 starters and 50 winners.

Award criteria:

The NSW Sire of the Year is selected based on a Point Score.
