Meet The 2023-24 All-Value Sire Team: Mandaloun

Now that the full roster for the 2023-24 All-Value Sire Team has been selected, let's take a closer look at each member, continuing on with First Team Prospect Mandaloun at Juddmonte Farms.

As the First Team Prospect, Mandaloun represents bloodstock editor Joe Nevills' top choice among stallions standing for $20,000 or less whose first foals are weanlings or yearlings of 2024, based on a combination of on-track performance, progeny performance, pedigree, physical, and commercial momentum.

Even in an increasingly deep pool of sons of Into Mischief, Mandaloun stands out as a Kentucky Derby winner with a deep Juddmonte pedigree, offered at a more than fair price.

Early returns at auction have been positive for Mandaloun, as well. His first class of in-foal mares produced a median sale price of $65,000 from 15 mares sold, which topped all qualifying first-year sires.

"With such a big initial group of mares, Mandaloun is going to be given every chance to succeed with his freshman crop once those foals hit the ground," Nevills wrote in his analysis. "The competition for sons of Into Mischief at stud gets deeper with each passing year, but Mandaloun is well-positioned to land in the upper echelon."
