ADENA SPRINGS KENTUCKY
Awesome Again…$150,000
Congaree…$15,000
El Prado…$75,000
Ghostzapper…$150,000
Giacomo…$12,500
Macho Uno…$20,000
North Light…$25,000
Silent Name…$7,500
Touch Gold…$20,000
ADENA SPRINGS SOUTH
Alphabet Soup…$10,000
Aristocrat…$5,000
Greatness…$5,000
Indy King…$2,000
Milwaukee Brew…$7,500
Olmodavor…$5,000
Red Bullet….$10,000
Sligo Bay….$7,500
Wilko…$10,000
Let's see...North Light's fee is halved from when he first went to stud. So is Touch Gold's fee. NO WAY Red Bullet should be standing for $10k...he went to stud at $30k and has been falling like a stone ever since, and so far his kids haven't done a thing. Based on his results he should be standing for $500 with a money-back guarantee. It is difficult to justify Giacomo at $12,500 with Macho Uno at $20k.
Hard luck to everybody who bred a mare to El Prado at $125k, since his fee has fallen 40% between 2007 and 2008.
I rather like Silent Name at $7500. I think he is a good horse who wasn't quite Gr-1 quality but could put up a good run. I also think that something happened to him in the Met Mile--he was never quite right after that.
Sligo Bay is well-priced and starting to get some runners. I think Kentucky may have kicked him out too soon.
Who on earth is Aristocrat and what has he done to justify a $5000 fee? Ok, so he's a full to Ghostzapper, but come on, people, he didn't even outrun his conditions.

Was Stronach drunk when he was thinking that this was a commercial American sire? He's gonna take a bath on this horse!

I like North Light but not anywhere near the fees selected for him. Really I do. He's got lovely breeding and will appeal to a select bit of the market...and has NO BUSINESS standing for anything higher than $10k.
Stronach was thinking that a champion son of a multiple champion sire out of a solid female line would be a sure hit. He was going for the same thing with Silent Name, which didn't quite work out.

macho uno
What do think? Mach Uno seems reasonable at $20,000 given the current market.
He's an extremely small horse with no blacktype. He has no business at 5k. At least with Mr. Sek you have a better chance at a great looking foal since he is such a great looking horse.
By looks and pedigree, Mr. Sek is the better deal at 5k, if you want to call it a "deal". He's from a female family where even the under-achievers can get a damn good horse at stud.

Don't be so humble - you are not that great.

I didn't say I would bred to him, what I'm saying is what else can you do? If he's not fit to run anymore, you don't put him on a farm somewhere... he has a market, and 5k is pretty much bottom of the barrel for his farm
