As the 2017-18 racing season draws to a close, with just one month remaining, Snitzel has a firm hold on the title of champion sire, with progeny earnings for the season of $28,353,873, well above his nearest rival on just over $15 million.

The progeny of the top ten sires amounts to $140,608,217, and just two of the 10 sires are imported, High Chaparral and Street Cry.

The only Victorian based sire in the top ten is Written Tycoon, he has done a magnificent job, but the rest are nowhere to be found.

There is quite a few likely prospects among the Victorian sires, but will they be given the opportunity, that is the question?.
