Dracarys - Australian Thoroughbred Sire very first winner “I’m Pinker” calls Darlington Stud Greenmount home 🥇
🔥The Winners Are Here For Dracarys🔥
Exciting young Group 3 winning sire Dracarys (Snitzel) will remain at $6,600 for 2024 making him an accessible and affordable option for Queensland breeders. A winner at two on debut, he won the Gr3 Up & Coming Stakes at his first three-year-old start, beating Trapeze Artist, Ace High and Gold Standard.
Circumstances meant that Dracarys only served a handful of mares in his first season, and those foals are now three-year-olds with six winners already in the bag!
David Hayes trained-STORM RIDER looks exciting with two wins in Hong Kong from only five starts. OBEROI PRINCESS after running second in her first four starts, went on to win two in succession.
I’M PINKER was Dracarys’ first winner, winning on debut as a November two-year-old. DIRECT FIRE won on debut as a spring three-year-old and now has two wins on his record. Other three-year-old winners include HARCH ROAD and SAY WHEN SUTTY.
Dracarys proved popular in his second season, serving 88 mares, and those foals are now two-year-olds. KAHLISEE was a city winner on debut for trainer Chris Munce as an October two-year-old, then she ran in the Listed Calaway Gal Stakes at her next start, showing the high opinion her connections have of her. EAGLE’S FIRE won his second start in March 2024.
When measured against his peers, Dracarys is performing well with the most two-year-old winners from his second crop compared to other second season sires standing in the same fee bracket. He also has the second highest ratio of winners to runners.
At the sales, Dracarys continues to do well with respect to his service fee, and in 2024, the full sister to Kahlisee was purchased by Kahlisee’s trainer Chris Munce for $45,000. His yearlings in 2024 averaged $29,667.
Breeders looking for a son of Champion Sire Snitzel with form on the board at a great value price need to consider Dracarys for 2024.
