MOST of the mares with yearlings on this week’s CTS March Yearling sale still have to make their stud careers.

Black type in the catalogue certainly doesn’t tell the whole story, but the Sporting Post we have Ability Ratings, which often give insight which bold print (or its absence) can’t.

Here’s a list of stakes winning dams in the catalogue, with their ratings.
#1 National Bay, Champion Sprint Filly (AR 101)
