ALL OF US! Already know the odds of a Saddler's Wells stud doing well here, we certainly don't need some religious fanatic type's preaching to the choir.

I hope that Bullet Train does well here, and produces stakes winner upon stakes winner, the Saddler's Wells colt that lights up the board in the U.S.A.

I can't see Bullet Train being a success in the US, he is also a 3/4 brother to Powerscourt who was a rank failure at stud in the US. Despite a more impressive race record and on American soil.

Powerscourt is out of a different mare than either Bullet Train or Frankel. The tradition in thoroughbred breeding, Powerscourt is considered a 3/4 genetic relative. There's a special section in the pedigree query forum to identify 'equivalents'. You might subscribe and use it.

I'm sure that reasonable breeders will be sending their mares to him and giving Bullet Train a chance.

[quote="dublino"]Another horse to avoid, like Cape Blanco, North Light & Powerscourt.

Its really an insult to the US breeders to stand these horses in Kentucky.

I know you yanks are dumb but come on even this is pushing it a bit. :lol:

Oh and 11 furlong horses aren't stayers thats a sprint over this side of the pond. :roll:[/quote]

Dumb yanks, indeed. The Supreme Judge and Executioner of All Gelding Decisions has decreed that YOU should be gelded for your intemperate remarks. Not that it makes much difference, one way or another, given that you are currently about as active in the shed as War Emblem, anyway. Have a nice day! :lol:

Yeah, it is shameless how we flirt. :twisted:

P.S. I've ruined you for all other women, haven't I? I have that effect on men. All those bodacious Sunday Silence mares had that effect on War Emblem. At least there is hope for him. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Has anyone seen this guy? Other opinions than those so thoroughly expressed heretofore.
