Trippi Update
Trippi Update
Hammie's Hooker (Trippi x Gem Queen) makes it two in a row
Marsh Shirtliff, Markus Jooste and Bryn Ressel own a smart daughter of Trippi called Hammie's Hooker who won again yesterday - she has been to the track just 3 times, placed 3rd first time out and then won each of her next starts by an average of 3 lengths, easing up.
Trippi has had only 12 of his 1st crop go to the races - they have accumulated just 18 starts amongst which are 5 winners (two stakes winners) of 7 races - i.e. 50% winners/runners.
Trippi is now leading sire of 2yo’s by stakes and by number of stakes winners as well as by % winners/runners and he is joint leading sire of 2yo’s by number of races won. Amongst the sires of 2yo’s that have had 10 or more runners he is also the leader by AEPR.
Champion Sire in Florida before he was imported to South Africa he was also America’s leading sire of 2yo’s standing outside of Kentucky but it’s not his 2yo’s that are his only forte. He has them racing all over the world, and even had a Gr2 winner at Royal Ascot. Yesterday’s Gallop Global reported that his 9 year old son Red Sports Car recorded his 19th win from 94 starts - his earnings in Japanese Yen are beyond calculation but they add up to millions in our currency and possibly even millions of dollars.
Red Sports Car - winning his 19th race in Japan
It’s early days in the USA racing season. They open in January so with barely 3 months gone the top of the sire log there is held, again, by Giant’s Causeway whose progeny have earned US$1.6m - next is Tapit with $1.56 and about a dozen more whose progeny have amassed in excess of a million dollars - they make up the current top 20 by global progeny earnings - the next group are separated by small change including Trippi whose progeny have earned close to $900 000 so far.
