I love him as a sire..think he'll be the leading first crop sire at year's end..Johannesburg has a Coolmore-owned filly that Pletcher also has that was bought for over $1 million at the same sale that they are pretty high on. She is by the Unbridled mare Piedras Negras, but I think she's unnamed at this time according to DRF.
I have a Johannesburg weanling that is a little on the small side but made well and is out of a very nice stakes-winning El Prado mare...I'm counting on Johannessburg firing big as a sire in his first couple of crops so that he'll help me sell my colt....we'll see, but I will enjoy betting his 2-year-olds this year.
I also think
Yonaguska and
Jump Start are two cheaper stallions that I feel will have a very solid first crop...watch out.
