Pedigree Query

Stud fee announced as $12,500. Suprised that the fee is simply over-priced rather than grossly over-priced. What tempered the enthusiasim? Female side of the pedigree? Sire not a proven sire of sires (hasn't held back the fees for sons of Bernardini)? Physical?

How many yearlings were profitable so far in the Jan. sale(criteria I use is 2 times the stud fee plus 5,000 for costs)? Such rules for defining profitability are mathematically suspect if not completely illogical. A yearling by a stud commanding a $150k stud fee that sells for $300k is thus deemed...

Yes, you may get a 'nice return' on foals from a $20k stud fee... if they are lookers and you dump them early. I don't see that being likely....

Hank Goldberg, while he may be the charming life of the party off camera, on camera he presents himself as nothing less than a blithering fool. Anyone unfortunate enough to be in audio range of his semi-incoherent ramblings, cruelly extended with awkwards pauses, certainly cringe at what must be con...

...I think Holy Bull's problem is that he was TOO much of an outcross for a lot of the currently fashionable lines, and the one strain he could be expected to "like" was a buzzkill (In Reality). Most of the In Reality-breds from Holy Bull were too unsound to run. Macho Uno may or may not have that ...

Seen it, read it....how do you pronouce Ahonoora? Is there a translation?

FWIW, our mare - well removed from crooked yet not text book correct - produced a solid chestnut filly by Point Given that is absolutely perfect.
