Here's something I wrote on which top-class horses to race in 2026 are the likeliest to become elite sires and which ones are the most likely to be complete busts at stud

Bit of a hot take but I’d like to see Koktail Divin over 2m at some stage
👀 Henry de Bromhead tells @SportingLife that KOKTAIL DIVIN "could be a Ryanair Chase horse" this season.
👍 Likely starts off in the John Durkan or the Graduation Chase at Haydock on Betfair Chase Day.

I mean, Irish Panther is no mug, I’d like him for the Tingle Creek if Willie doesn’t send IET there
PT was very tender on KDB too, not saying he wins the CC but his run wasn’t the end of the world, the level he ran to would probably win the Shloer if we’re being honest

I thought Kopek’s jumping was fine tbh, travelled well enough into it & then seemed to blow up IMO, running very early in the season by WPM’s standards
It doesn’t pay to be dogmatic about 2m chasers, I thought Marine was a busted flush after coming 2nd in the same race in ‘24

“Sir, a second Love Me Tender has won for Willie Mullins this month”
Love Me Tender 🩷
One for the Elvis fans - the Closutton representative makes it two from two over obstacles in the @NaasRacecourse Overlander Fishery Lane Novice Hurdle ✅

Just think it’s crazy that it’s 2026 yet there are so few beginners chases in Britain that a good horse basically either has to start off in a novice handicap or a G2
🌟 Nicky Henderson tells @unibet that OLD PARK STAR could run in a Beginners Chase at Ffos Las on 18th October but teases an entry in the Grade 2 Arkle Trial.
👀 "Depending on what the ground is doing, he might well go there."
