North Light to Adena

Postby Derby2004 » Sat Sep 24, 2005 6:33 am

What is everyones opinion of this stallion? he will be at Adena in 06. A group 1 winning son of Danehill. Might be worth a look.

His turf background likely will translate to limited commercial appeal in America. He may turn out good racehorses, since Danehill has been so productive.

He is an out and out turfer,don,t expect to breed a dirt horse from
him. Byond that he needs distances 10 furlong+
His sire and the sire from the dam are very well established in Europe.
Rainbow Quest is highly quoted for a broodmare sire.

He,s an half to a good staying one, for racing details. racingpost.uk
fill in his name by horses Choose from the mentioned , there are more
than one. And read the comments. Trainer M. Stoute rider K.Fallon ( has
an instinct for raceriding). The last race I saw was with ontario at the Irish
Championship pinhooking Azamour, and flew away for the last 2,5 furlong
Azamour became fith as he was beaten by the racetactics from Kieren Fallon 7 lifetime starts 3 wins 3 seconds. Hampered last race.
2 starts as a juvenile, 7 and 8 furlongs

isn't there only one other Danehill stallion in the US??

I would love to breed my Doyoun mare to a son of Danehill, but I wasn't shipping her from michigan to California to do so....

Wonder how outrageous his fee will be?
