Opinions on him as a sire?
Also, who knows what about his temperament?
I saw him at Adena Springs June of 05 and was told his nickname was "Jeffrey Dahmer" (sp). He looked bright and aware and quick and very interested in us, as we were told NOT to stick fingers through the mesh.
Thanks!

I have one...a 2yo filly. She's very correct and a nice mover. No temperment issues noted. Somewhat small feet, but don't know if that's representative. They dropped his fee this year to an acceptable level. Don't know if we would go back to him.

He's half brother to With Approval thru the blue hen Passing Mood, and a son of Deputy Minister. He fathered Medallist, who's a speedster. He's well-supported by Adena Springs mares and should continue to produce good racehorses. I've never seen him in person, but his commercial prices are not excessive. He's a good breed to race sire at a premium price.
