Crystal Ball Question.

Thinking ahead to 2009 breeding season. Would like a quick thumbs up or down as to whether these stallions would be/still be a decent commercial choice.

Tapit
Congaree
Limehouse
Point Given
Sky Mesa

Do you think any of these stallions will go up for 2009.

Thank You

our Sky Mesa is a monster this year,, hope he stays on the commercial track.

This is a crapshoot, but after all its the game we play every year, both here and in the market (a la RIMM, GOOG, YHOO et al), but here are my positions:

Tapit long
Congaree short
Limehouse neutral
Point Given short
Sky Mesa short

Thanks in advance for not dredging this up in 2009.

I would think you should do well with him given this ones timeline.

I am long on Tapit too, but I would be more nuetral with Skey Mesa right now than short. It is a crap shoot. Agree with the rest for now with my hazy crystal ball.

I really like Limehouse as a potential sire and in fact we have a Limehouse yearling who's pretty terrific; but considering that he has his first yearlings this year and that 2009 will be his 4th year at stud, with mares bred before he has had any offspring to race, he is the one stallion on your list whose stud fee is almost guaranteed not to rise.

LB,

Thanks for your insights. First concern would be to stay commercial. If the stud goes up would just be a plus.
