I have never been a big fan of frozen semen but some stallions have been sucessful with only their frozen semen available in NZ. Artsplace is one that springs to mind. However the success enjoyed by the stock of Majestic Sons 2yr olds has once again confirmed to me that fresh is better. Two small crops via frozen semen totaling 13 foals for two winners did little to suggest that his first crop of foals from fresh semen would dominate the 2yr old sire rankings as they have this season. On type they look like time will only help them so maybe, just maybe the next sire superstar has arrived. Back in the flesh next season and standing for $5000 means other sires at the top end may struggle for mares. So for me all this episode has reaffirmed is that fresh is best ]]> New Zealand Harness Racing Viv Strangman http://www.harnessracingforum.com/showthread.php?4406-Frozen-Semen-v-Fresh-Semen
