According to France-Galop, Nicobar has had 26 foals since 2006. 14 were 2006, and one was an AQPS. Since then he's had as many AQPS foals as PS (TB). Perhaps now that one of his has won The Melbourne Cup more mare owners will consider using him.


Or not.

Take a look at him.

His shoulder looks upright to me, and the pasterns overlong.
