He stood in Kentucky for five years, the first two covering books of 60-odd mares, roughly two-thirds of which produced foals. The third year, according to the Jockey Club site, his book dropped to 39 and the next two year (1999/2000), after his first crops had raced, he covered only 18 and 15 mares. Then he stood two seasons in Canada, covering books of 15 and finally 7; whereupon he was sent to Ireland. Obviously he could get a top turf horse when mated with a mare with a strong bottom line. A respectable racehorse and sire. Thanks for bringing him up.
