 Of the Freshman sires from last year, I would take Tapit in a second over Speighstown. I don't think it is any contest. I don't think Tapit's success last year was a fluke at all. I thought his 2 year olds looked great again this year at the sales.
I  haven't looked at the numbers but I thought Lion Heart did better last year than Speighstown. However that could be misleading because I think Lion Heart had about 200 babies in his first year.
