Anyone have any opinions on him? Is he a recognizable name at all?

Are you breeding to sell or to race? Personally I think you can probably do better for the money.

Breeding for both to sell and race. :D Really to race, but would like a sire that would allow me to sell the mare in foal or sell the foal.

He doesn't have terrible race stats if the mare matches but I'd check out his sales stats first. I don't recall him being that popular at the Ocala sales the last couple of years. But I don't know his overall sales either so I'd double check. I still probably would go to someone else for the money unless you A) got a deal or B) just was dying to have one by him and none other.
