JUDGING by the market’s reaction to the second-crop yearlings by dual champion Cracksman, they both liked what they saw on the ground, and were hugely encouraged by the start the sire made with his first runners.

The first juveniles by Cracksman included the Group 2 Premio Dormello winner Aloa, the Listed Star Stakes winner Dance In The Grass, and the stakes-placed Crackovia. Given their sire’s rapid progression from two to three, it can be expected with confidence that better is to come.
