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.

That's awesome that you have one of his babies... I wouldn't be too concerned about the size of the weanling you have. I don't think Johannesburg is too big himself (15.3 and change if I remember correctly.) I agree that he is going to be the sire to watch for this year. I'll have to check out Yonaguska and Jump Start.
