"Week 5" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin
Throughout the world, Mr Prospector and Storm Cat "clusters" dominate "Group 1" winners.
However, It is a different story in Australia, the volume of stallions within the Danehill cluster indicates he will always have most winners on any given Saturday for overall winners across the 40-50 races each week in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide
Full results below - here is a short summary of week 5:
Danehill line stallions - 10 winners
Green Desert line stallions - 8 winners
Mr Prospector line stallions - 5 winners
Last Tycoon line stallions - 3 winners
LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin
As previously noted, Pharos will always be the leader in this section by sheer volume of broodmares from that stallion stem at nick 19 represented at the bottom of fourth generation [dam - grand dam - great grand dam].
The battle within of the big three lines at nick 21 is interesting and Nasrullah provided most winners in week 3.
Pharos line broodmare sires [in 4th Gen] - 21 winners
Nearctic x 10, Nasrullah x 6, Royal Charger x 5
WEEK 5 [5th October] - All results shown here:
BLACK TYPE RESULTS - WEEK 5 [5th October]

"Week 5" LEADING FEMALE TAIL CLUSTERS - nick 19 from Origin
Over half [9 of the 17] of the black type winners, were represented by Pharos line stallions at the female tail line represented at the bottom of fourth generation [dam - grand dam - great grand dam].
Nearctic had 4 and Nasrullah had 3 and Royal Charger had 2.
"OVERALL" LEADING STALLION CLUSTERS - nick 24 from Origin
After 236 races of Spring racing [5 weeks]….
Danehill dominates the “all” runners leader board for winners
So the theory of “throw enough darts and you will hit the board more’ is true on Saturday metropolitan race meeting throughout Australia in Spring.
Danehill has 66 wins from 236 races
Compare this to his closest cluster in Mr Prospector, he has 34 wins, followed by Green Desert on 26 wins and Encosta De Lago on 25 wins.
Which Sires have produced the most wins
An interesting side note to this table of “stallion clusters” are the individual winning stallions after 5 weeks of Saturday metropolitan racing in Australia.

8 - ZOUSTAR [Encosta De Lago]
8 - SNITZEL [Danehill]
6 - PRIDE OF DUBAI [Mr Prospector]
