Aside from Double Diamond, his other top selling sons from different dams which saw him clinch the title with an average price of 146,666gns were, Sportsmans Dirty Harry at 50,000gns and Mellor Vale Déjà Vu at 40,000gns, both of which were also sold at Lanark. Taking second spot was Procters Chumba Wumba, himself a son of the 100,000gns Sportsmans Batman. His top three selling sons, again all sold at Lanark, were the 65,000gns Hexel Django, Teiglum Dancing Brave at 30,000gns and Hexel Dallas at 7500gns.
