Those are interesting observations Flashing Red, I would consider Christian Cullen to produce good sized-large offspring but to have 3 Christian Cullens 16+ hands I would say is a bit unusual. I consider CC's to be better sit sprinters than tough stayers but he has left many stayers too like NZ cup winner Mainland Banner. I would agree with the statement "None of them could take anywork and all raced better fresh". Just my thoughts im sure many other people will have a different opinion.
