1. Repent- He has alot of very, very good 3YO's out there including crown of thorns. i think this is a sire that is really, really on the up and up.
2. grand slam- he is having some pretty solid horses all around the country that can sprint, go long, and on any surface. they are winning at pretty decent numbers
3. yonaguska- IMHO one of the most underrated sires in the country. odds are he wont' get you a derby horse but his numbers are pretty darn solid for a 10k stallion

I really like Grand Slam....I'm taking my Sea Hero mare (who's now ready to drop her Lemon Drop Kid foal) to him for '08. He's just one of those "proven" sires. I'm getting tired of the hype ....and crazy prices for first year ....unproven....sires.And, I do like Repent!

justmares, good luck with your foals! I have a Lemon Drop Kid coming too. Also a Grand Slam.
Count me in as someone who also likes Repent, but unless they decide to ship him to Kentucky I'll have to admire him from afar.

Repent is one gorgeous horse...then again his sire is pretty darn good looking too.
One I'd add who is proven but still seems to be under the radar to me is More than Ready.

Could you explain? (since he's standing at a pretty hefty 60K, it's hard for me to see how you think he's being overlooked.)

Slew City Slew has flown under the radar for years.
So did Victory Gallop...why oh why is he winding up in Turkey?
Yonaguska? You're kidding, right?

Oh, I was not thinking in terms of stud fees rather more of the fact that he does not appear to be "hot" at the sales and I do not hear of "top" mares going to him. Yet with what he has shown he can produce, I kind of expected to see more stakes winning, young mares being sent his way. He seems to be solidly staying a breed to race horse.
Mind you, I could be very wrong, this is just the sense I have.

But he IS in Kentucky now! He's standing at Vinery for the 2008 season (and let's hope for many more to come).

Repent is at Vinery-Florida. Not in KY, yet.

Siphon
But I don't know if he's under the radar.
