The record-breaking first season sire who became Europe’s best leaving 38 individual winners from his first juvenile crop. This success flowed through to the yearling sale ring at Karaka 2011 where his first Southern Hemisphere crop averaged over $100,000.

Iffraaj’s record-breaking two-year-old crop featured seven stakes performers headed by Group One Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere-winner Wootton Bassett and Group Three-winning filly Espirita. Statistically, Iffraaj’s first crop results speak for themselves with a starters to foals ratio of 75%, a winners to runners ratio of 62% and a remarkable 11% stakes performers to runners ratio. The momentum has continued in 2011 with his tally of first crop winners now at 51 and a total of 20 three-yearold winners in 2011 to date, including two new stakes winners and a new stakes performer (as at 30/06/11).

Karaka 2011 saw Iffraaj’s first Southern Hemisphere crop become hot property with a top price of $540,000. With six of his ten yearlings in the Premier Sale fetching over $100,000, Iffraaj’s Premier Sale average was an impressive $208,000. A total of 14 six figure yearlings across the entire sales series, including a top price of $290,000 in the Select Sale for one of his fillies, saw Iffraaj’s sales series average exceed $100,000 – all off an initial service fee of $12,000. With progeny in leading stables on both sides of the Tasman including Peter Moody, Mark Kavanagh, Mike Moroney, Lisa Latta, Roger James and Murray Baker to name but a few, Iffraaj’s Southern Hemisphere progeny will be afforded every opportunity to succeed.

A Group One-performer and multiple Group Two-winner, Iffraaj was a class act on the track and is proving as much in the breeding shed and has taken his first steps to becoming a sire of the highest order.
