Gold Fever is apparently coming to Minnesota http://www.bloodhorse.com/NOW/News/Bree ... 47345.aspx ! Any thoughts from y'all on the East Coast about this stallion? Durability? Temperment? Quality of runners? What do his yearlings look like? Thanks!

I have a mare that is 8 yo by him who has just retired from the track this year...She had 77 starts, ran for 6 yrs and ran out over 167K..She is a midget that ran routes, go figure...She is just an old love to handle and she is now at my partner's farm in LA living the good life...I like her a lot and hope you could get one just like her...Good luck..

Gold Fever didnt stand in New Hampton NY. He stood in Hudson NY before moving to our farm in Pine Plains NY. Questroyal just had 2 locations so it gets confusing. Gold Fever throughs nice foals and he is quite a nice, classy, old man. I was sad to see him leave. He will do very well for his new connections I am sure.

I have a mare by him that made 44 starts, retired at 7, and earned over $70K. She now has her first foal by her side. She is not a big mare, maybe 15.2 - but was a solid, hard knocking race mare.
