I saw him race ... and then at Perretti. He's a big, powerful type ... certainly on the heavier side. He's a brute, in fact.
I have an Artsplace mare who'll go to him ... but not until next season (depending on how her racing career pans out). Looking forward to that day, though ...
Hey triple, great shot of Stan! The comparison with Safely Kept, Holmes Hanover and Stan is spot on! Only difference is Stan scared me.

Anyway, by then Stan of course had long since retired but nevertheless, packing down against him was what I imagine it would be like if you stuck your head in a hydraulic wool press & pushed the button. He must have been something to deal with as a much younger and fitter bloke. He pushed and shoved and bored in on my neck & jaw area and in just about every scrum he succeeded in turning me into a pretzel. Tough as Teak.

Interesting to see Art Major Not listed as booked out, he has been listed booked out for the last few years before the service fee's had even gone out. I wonder how many owners are trying to back peddle out to go to R'N'R Hanover now ?
RNRH is advertised as $12,500 Frozen Semen on the Empire web site. Is that correct ?
I was just on the website and can't find RNRH on there as yet.
I'll second that Mango
was talking to david at empire yesterday he is jumping over the moon
Go to Sires index and click on RNRH. This directs you to Empire site.
See what you mean Mo, but with all things website about the industry there is one stud advertising him who supposedly don't have him and the one stud that supposedly has him hasn't anything on their own website but have advertised him in the national racing paper and this is the first I have seen on the Industry website not uncommon for getting it balls'd up.
It is easy to be uncertain you will properly get the truth here on this site before pens put to paper to sign the deal
