Indian Blessing to Zensational

Postby Toral » Tue Nov 10, 2009 4:51 pm

Eh, what do you guys think of that mating? Also, what's with sending high profile mares to unproven stallions anyways? Like RA to Curlin? Wouldn't they be better served by a proven sire?

Behaving Badly is also in Zensational's first book. Link

Bleech... 25k stud fee. Guess they are trying to instill the love of poly into her offspring. 25K gets you alot of real nice proven sires right now but to each his own. Sure are alot of Unbridled Songs at stud, many of which fall into the 15-25k range...abit redundant me thinks.

Perfect example of the owner mentality that DRIVES ME CRAZY these days:

“Having already won three grade I races, we feel that he will be more valuable at stud,” said owner Ahmed Zayat.

And he only ran 8 times! :x

Why not try, they asked and got 15K for Friends Lake who won ONE grade one race. I see a Buddha like future for him.
