What I am doing for this section is identifying lower-priced sires for use in breeding claimers or trying for the odd good horse with a marginal pedigree. So far, I've had the most fun doing this and have had some success ( 14316, 46790, 315) . What I'm not listing are the 60 or so others that are plodding away at a MC race near you. But with the bonuses for homebreds, at least they have a chance at winning back enough points to replace themselves, and then some. It's a way to build a stable without trying to win the lottery in the claim races, or participating in the multi-millionare bettor's auction. The way I've been searching for bargain sires is to look for the offspring of high-quality sires, and that's the way it is organized below.
These are not intended to be complete lists, since that's a huge task and I'm also only listing sires costing <50 breeding points. The birth dates my be wrong on a number of them, but it can help for finding eligible dam sires and such so I've included what I have. Ticker updates will come maybe every couple of months, the prices don't seem to change that drastically over time. Full updates are when I go back to the original source and try to expand/clean-up what I have.
