Buh-bye Minardi...

He does not appear on Walmac's roster for the upcoming Source advertisement. No idea where he's going. Switzerland...anyone? :wink:

He's listed among the stallions on their website www.walmac.com. You could contact them if you're interested.

Oops should have been more clear...this is Austique (my account's been hacked). I got a shareholders e-mail with the ad for the Bloodhorse Source due out in August. Minardi is off the roster as of that ad, but I've seen no official announcement. I was looking at the ad thinking somebody's missing and then looked at the site and it was Minardi.

Tumblebrutus was knocked off the roster in a similar way.

Do you think maybe he was gelded out of respect for the breed?

Unfortunately no..the guy who owned Tumblebrutus was Chilean, so he's in Chile I'm sure terrorizing the farm down there. From what I heard from Walmac, I'm sure he got a rousing going away party :lol: :lol:

But why wait all that time for your Minardi foal?

I've had a financial windfall due to the kindness of some gentlemen from Nigeria in the money order business.

How bout I sell you my Minardi yearling out of a stakes winning mare.

I have it on good authority that Walmac was bailing on him because he is often outrun by his companion goat but why should losing to a goat impact the value of a stallion?

I might be interested in your yearling. I just came into some funds myself via a business arrangement with Yassar Arafat's widow :wink:
