I guess I did not explain.. I would race the foal and not try to sell in commercial market.. Was wondering if any one liked the way he looked or liked his foals (up to two year olds) ..thanks

I haven't seen him this year but I loved him last year! He, in my opinion was a fine specimen. I would have to go look up my notes on him becasue I can't really recall any of my notes on his conformation but I did look at him to breed to.

I thought he had one of the best physicals in Kentucky. I have heard from multiple sources he's throwing very uniform, attractive foals in the same cut as himself, but they're not selling particularly well. So take from that what you will.

I just saw him last weekend and he is a fine looking horse plus he is huge!
We have a yearling filly here by him out of a daughter of Storm Bird and she is very well put together. She is going to be big and she has substance to her, as does her sire.

tmqh, we bred our Storm Bird mare to Maria's Mon in 2006. The resulting 2007 colt is already a stakes winner of 175K. I hope the cross works out just as well for you! :)

Thanks for info folks, I'm glad to here he is stamping foals like him, since my mare throws foals like her broodmare sire (Rahy) on the small side. A little more size would be nice..... please more comments are welcome.thanks
