His sire No Nay Never was Europe’s leading first-crop sire in 2018 and Ten Sovereigns’ grandsires Scat Daddy and Exceed And Excel were champion first-crop sire in North America and Australia respectively. Both No Nay Never and Scat Daddy have been successful with many different broodmare sires. The much-missed Scat Daddy owed his 45 Group/Graded winners in the northern hemisphere to 42 different 92
