Constitution's increase is NOT excessive and is justified by his entire of body of work so far. In the post-first crop lull of lesser mares, he continues to get runners who try hard and win. They are not surface-dependent or distance-dependent, though he clearly is not a speed sire as indicated by his Average Winning Distance. His only real competitor in his intake is American Pharoah, who to this point is just not a dependable sire of good dirt horses, though he gets lots of turf winners. Tiz the Law was an exceptional horse, We the People is pretty darn good. The yearlings of 2022 were from matings after people saw Tiz the Law; there are quite likely going to be some runners in that crop.
I see American pharaoh is at 65K for next year. I think the market has decided who the better sire is 😊. And c☀️constitution was doing all this with lesser mares than American Pharaoh. The ad in today’s thoroughbred daily news is a good argument for why constitution is so desirable. The number of graded stakes horses is very impressive, despite the fact that there are not actual grade one stakes winners yet.
Update on Constitution: his current 2yos were bred in 2020, based on the exploits of his 1st crop, which included Tiz the Law. He has 181 2yos of 2023. His previous named foals by crop?: 2017-116, 2018-100, 2019-80, and 2020-50. And now he has 181 (!!) from presumably very good mares. His top seller last year, at $1.8 million in KEESEP sale, is already breezing with Mandella.

He SHOULD get better runners soon...but for his price range...he better.
