Nicconi Hits 100 Winners Again

With less than two months of the racing season to play out the list of sires to make the century club for posting 100 winners in a season has stretched out to 17 sires, with 16 of them active this season and while Zoustar heads the list, our value sire Nicconi has also made his mark.

Nicconi might be best known as the sire of world champion sprinter Nature Strip, but he has a lot more than one horse running for him with a constant stream of winners to keep him relevant for broodmare owners.

Nicconi has had 100 plus winners for the past three seasons and has sufficient numbers coming through to suggest he can keep the momentum going and is priced this year at Widden Victoria at a fee of $16,500

For a stallion that runs at 73% winner to runner and has sired 29 stakes-winners including the best sprinter in the world, Nicconi appeals as exceptional value.
