The ability to regularly sire plentiful juvenile winners is a unique talent possessed by few stallions and in recent years that title of most successful Australian sire by juvenile winners has been dominated by a handful of stallions.
The insatiable desire of racehorse owners for a quick return on investment makes these sires super popular in the sale ring and it’s no coincidence that the two most expensive sires in the country are I Am Invincible and Snitzel, who have topped the list below for the past five seasons.

While the Champion 2YO Sire by earnings can often be skewed by the performance of a one off star juvenile, these are the sires that consistently produce precocious horses and in a landscape where lucrative sales incentive races feature prominently, these guys offer the best chance to be running at two.
