Last week we ran a story on those who'd had the most fun from the Class of '09 which proved popular with our readers so we thought why not have a look at those presently "having the most fun" from the Class of 2010.
You can read the original story here.
While the Class of '09 are turning five at the end of the month, and in the most part done the majority of what they're going to do, the 3YO's turning four have plenty more to look forward to in most cases.
Particularly those that might have ambitions of a Cup or a Cox Plate, or one of the other majors.
Interestingly the Class of '09 list was dominated by relatively cheap horses made good, particularly at the top end, but this time two of top performers were relatively expensive yearlings in top ranked Mosheen (pictured - photo Steve Hart), a $250,000 buy from the Inglis Easter Sale and Atlantic Jewel, a $320,000 buy from the Gold Coast.
Throw in Elite Falls, also prominent as a $300,000 yearling, then the domain of the big profit on the racecourse is not just for the value buyers.
In general though, it's further proof that anybody can go to virtually any yearling sale and buy the dream in Australia.
Four of the top five horses cost less than $50,000 and perhaps another point of interest is that three of those, Karuta Queen, Punch On and Pane In The Glass have not won at Group One level, rather having big paydays courtesy of the Magic Millions and Inglis bonus offerings.
