Mirror Mirror on the Wall ..... 
If Duporth (pictured left) does end up replicating his dad\\s performance (pictured right) as a stallion on the track and in the sale ring, what will this mean for his breeders?
1. Whilst only having 65 live foals on average for his 8 crops, Red Ransom produced 6 Australian Group 1 winners. Globally it was 11 Group 1 winners, 36 Group winners of 90 stakes races.
2. In Australia, Red Ransom sold $39m worth of yearlings at an average of $148k, over a 9 year period with a highest priced yearling selling for $1.55m.
3. Despite only serving his first real book of 75 mares in 1999, Red Ransom has recently seen 7 young, but exciting, stallion prospects head to stud in Australia - Duporth, Doomsday, Onemorenomore, All American, Charge Forward, Red Dazzler and Red Element.(An interesting comparison with other stallions who have been around for a similar length of time ?).
4. Red Ransom has worked extremely well globally with Danehill mares Stallions who have sired 3+ SW to Danehill mares
