Kinloch Brae continues to dominate the open race sires table. Like all the great stud dogs, he matches quality and versatility.

Michael Dunne’s American import is prolific over all distances but is particularly strong over longer trips – hence his average winning distance of 549m. But just how versatile is he?

Interestingly – he doesn’t even make the top five for races up to 400m. Here is a breakdown of how the sires compare over distance preferences
