there are quite a few good stallion prospects retiring to stud in 2024. that being said, what first year sire(s) do you think will get the best book next year? my Top 3 is Cody's Wish - Arcangelo - Forte.

I really hope Arcangelo gets a stellar book. He has a beautiful pedigree and I think breeders are going to want to see if he can produce champions like his sire did. So fingers crossed for him.
Cody's Wish will probably also get a nice book.
And maybe Arabian Lion? People are probably gonna go crazy over the Justify bloodline after this breeders cup. Lol

They're going to throw anything with a uterus at Arabian Lion, Taiba, and Forte. I'm sure some of them will be good, but they'll be diluted by the 100 or so that are just there to catch a foal.

I'm hoping for Arcangelo. His female family is one of my favorites.

Would be nice he can be like Dubawi. Dubai Millenium was unlucky but had a stellar son.

I would imagine Arcangelo, Cody’s Wish, or Elite Power. All will actually have their books managed as opposed to covering whatever shows up with a pulse. Arcangelo has the pedigree, Cody’s Wish and Elite Power are tough campaigners who are part of the hottest up and coming sireline. Garrett O’Rourke of Juddmonte told Steve Byk yesterday that they probably shouldnt have announced $50,000 before the BC because their phone has now been ringing off the hook since Saturday’s race and theyre going to have to turn lots of mares away. Cody’s Wish and Elite Power also have in house broodmare support that Arcangelo doesn’t

I'm glad some farms actually care about their studs. Maybe if elite power does well they can up his price
