Northern Meteor Hits the Front

 In 2013

Northern Meteor did not get a winner on Wednesday, but he did have a second place-getter in Samarmeteors and with the addition of incentive money which adds into the sire tables later in the week, our superstar young sire has overhauled Real Saga to hit the top of the Australian First Season Sire List.

Sebring leads his peers in terms of winners and is a close third on the table below by earnings, while our ill-fated shuttle sire War Pass (USA) is fifth, giving Widden Stud three of the top five first season sires by earnings.
