LEADING SIRE Statistics compiled to April 30 show Beau Pere the leading sire of Australia with 25 winners of 60 races and £27.098. He is closely followed by Pantheon, with 36 * Avinners of 65 races and £26,250. Beau Pere has been in Australia for three years, but all the winners by him were sired while he was at the Westmere stud in New Zealand. The first Australian-bred progeny of Beau Pere w T ere the yearling:* offered from St. Aubins stud at the last Sydney sale, "at which the colt from Banita realuted 3500gns. The best winners for Beau Pere haVe been Beaulivre, Beau Vite, Beaupartir, Sir Beau, Amigo and Hilton. Pantheon with a little luck could quite easily have been a long Hvay in the lead, as his son, Maikai, was second in the Caulfield and Mel-* bourne Cups to Rivette, and third in the Sydney Gup. Had those seconds been firsts Pantheon would have been in an unassailable position at the head of the list. Feminist credited him with the Metropolitan and Bristol . and Pantler made substantial contributions to the stakes credited to Pantheon. Marconigram is third on the list with 31 winners of 56 races and £22,776. His' principal winner tvas Reading, who won both Derbies, The Buzzard is fourth* and with several good Queensland stakes yet to be added to his total, and others yet to be run, he has a good chance of becoming the premier sire. After having been premier sire for seven successive seasons, Heroic has dropped to a lower position, but the fact that he is in fifth place without having anything younger than three year olds to represent him is a notable achievement. His best winners this season have been Ajax, Pure Gold. Binnia,'Hero, Parodier, Cigarette and Heroic's Double, whose Stradbroke Handicap win, which was worth £1400, and Pure Gold's last race, as well as several wins by other horses, have to be added to Heroic's total.
