[vvv] go figure indeed. You can't make judgements on his exposed numbers dot. 7 race age us bred foals from aa mares for 3 to the races to date was hardly an indication of anything at all.
here in aus he (fss) has 3 x current season 2yo winners from albert albert mares frith, lenny the shark & i want candy...from 12 live foals to mares by albert albert.
in the following crop, those current yearlings rising 2yrs, there are 10 bred on that cross and for the following crop again there are 8.
in total, by the time fss's current weanlings make the races in 2 years or so's time, we'll have a total of 30 to work with and that's still nowhere near enough to hang a hat on one way or the other.
he has particularly good stats with life sign mares and western hanover, so how about having a look at american ideal? Has western hanover, abercrombie and life sign's dam three diamonds, plus direct scooter who has historicly suited the nz mare population.jamie might even be able to get you a really good deal! [vvv] if you were keen lisa i would certainly try my very best. The australian agent owes me a coffee & a blueberry muffin.
