14 IN A ROW!

Bettor’s Delight was named the sire of last decade (2000-2019) in North America and he is working on claiming the record for the current decade as well, but not just in the Northern Hemisphere. As the harness racing seasons came to a close across the World on December 31st, Bettor’s Delight was once again to the fore in the siring ranks as the leading all age sire by stakes in New Zealand, Australia and North America.

This is a title he has claimed plenty of times and one he has claimed worldwide for the last seven consecutive years. In New Zealand it was his 14th consecutive season, his 13th in Australia and 7th in North America - where he has claimed 10 of the last 12 but was just pipped by Somebeachsomewhere in 2016 and 2017.

He is simply the greatest sire of our time and even now as a 27-year-old in the twilight of his career he is still leaving champion progeny on the track. His standout performers from 2024 included standout 2-year-old MARKETPLACE and Australian Champion LEAP TO FAME.

He is set to be well represented at all of the upcoming yearling sales across Australasia in 2025, including in Woodlands Stud’s own draft at the NZB Standardbred Yearling Sales where nine will go under the hammer, five colts and four fillies. These include close relations to Group 1 winners COASTAL BABE, NEED YOU NOW and WILLOW.
