Survivalist and Best of the Bests
I'm hoping I can get some opinions again! These two stallions are both new to Ontario. I've heard that Survivalist will be standing for $10,000 can. and Best of the Bests will be standing for $5000 can. I know Survivalist has a great page but I know nothing else! Bests looks very intriguing and half the price. . . hmmm.
Much obliged

Best of the Best's was one of the most consistantly competitive racehorses of his generation. He raced against some great horses and more than held his own.
He's by Machiavellan who is already starting to make a name for himself in europe and here in Australasia as a sire of sires. His son Medicean has sired multiple group one winners Dutch Art and Nannina. Another son Almutawakel has produced champion two year old and New Zealand derby winner Wahid, and one of his first son's to retire Vetorri produced good sprinter St Basil and oaks winner Sound Action.
We musn't forget that Street Cry (Street Sense anyone) is also by Machiavellan.
The Mill Reef on the top side of Best of the Best's damline can't hurt either. Daarshan is a great broodmare sire. This is a very turf oriented pedigree, but Best of the Bests ran well in the Dubai World cup on the sand and Machiavellan sons have nicked with Blushing groom line mares particularly well...perhaps a Candy Stripes mare might produce some versatile offspring.
Any way you look at it, he's only 5000, (I don't know how good that is for Ontario) but he'd command 10 thousand plus on the shuttle to Australia, and probably do quite well
