Hi guys

Well it's a year on and EQ has had his first starters in Australia for an early Group 1 to a filly in the AJC Sires Produce.

According to my notes he has had 53 named foals race in Australia from his first crop (four have been named and sent overseas) for 19 starters, seven winners including his third Group or Grade 1 horse in Camarilla. I'm not going to comment as a lack of two year old runners is fine with me so I won't form an opinion until this time next year when I refresh his credentials. :wink:

He did however have some very nice mares sent to him and there are quite a few carefully managed Darley owned babies that are being given every chance. Two of our leading trainers in Freedman and Hayes seem to have a few each plus other leading trainers also one or two so he is being given every opportunity to succeed here.

Has he had any good horses in the NH lately? I don't really get a chance to keep up with International Racing.

His advertised fee has however been hiked up tp $137,500. We have stallions who have sired a heap more Group winners than this guy in a shorter period of time standing for a lot less. Our main problem is that we have a truck load of good Danzig/Danehill line mares and Northern Dancer line stallions don't really suit.

So we have Fu Peg and Elusive Quality as the "premium quality" choices.

I'd actually like to see Lemon Drop Kid down here. He looks a really nice horse. 8)
