Stud fee announced as $12,500. Suprised that the fee is simply over-priced rather than grossly over-priced. What tempered the enthusiasim? Female side of the pedigree? Sire not a proven sire of sires (hasn't held back the fees for sons of Bernardini)? Physical?

I just booked a mare to him. Good value IMO for a champion 2yo by one of the best stallions in the U.S. Would like more female family but its not a deal breaker for me.

Who has seen him? What does he look like physically?
Curious.

I havent seen him in person and wont sign the contract until I do so.

His sire TAPIT is no poster horse. Yet he seems to out-throw himself, conformationally and athletically. His son CONCORD POINT is an outstanding individual and should be on the radar screen for anyone who likes this sire line.
