    Just that he looked magnificent. There was a great deal of conjecture about the size of Heaven with many believing he was much smaller than being reported. I was not there but while not big I don't believe he is a midget.

    One thing's for sure, we're spoilt for choice here in Oz, like no other year that I can recall.
    I've found myself thinking that almost every season for the past 5 years or so but this year it is way out beyond all expectations.
    We have access to no less than...
    4 of the top 5, 8 of the top 10 and 15 of the top 20 current season US 2yo Pacing Sires, the only notable absence being Dragon Again.
    4 of the top 5, 6 of the top 10 and 14 of the top 20 current season US 3yo Pacing Sires, the notable absences-Dragon Again & Camluck.
    3 of the top 5, 5 of the top 10 and 11 of the top 20 current season US All Age Pacing Sires, the notable absences- Dragon Again & Camluck.
    Not bad. Not bad at all.

    [VVV] Hey Grant, they're still doing well.
    Late last week/over the weekend AAV had 3 x 30k ISS Gold winners & 1 x 10k ISS Silver winner...2 geldings (Raise The Gin in 1:53.3 & Mr Virgin in 1:53.4) a colt (Crazy Fast Speed in 1:55.1) & a filly (Dirt Diamond) in 1:53.4.
    For what it's worth, Raise The Gin's from a Direct Scooter mare, Mr Virgin's from a Real Artist mare, Crazy Fast Speed's from a Yankee Cruiser mare and Dirt Diamond's from a Sportsmaster mare.

    That's the ticket. Not always right but never in doubt.

    BTW...it seems to have thus far flown under the radar thus far but Nevele R now has frozen semen from Well Said. I think he's $8,000 POLF or thereabouts. I believe the Hanover crew are very impressed with the quality of his youngsters.

    I'll tell you what's pretty funny though. Have a look at the web page.

    That's not Well Said & Ron Pierce.
    That's a Jug winner but it's actually a picture of Shadow Play & Dave Miller.
    For years Bob used to have a picture of Precious Bunny standing in for Silk Legacy.

    It certainly looks a lot brighter and drier than Well Saids LBJ!! Much better looking photo that Well Saids would be. He would appear to be priced in a tough bracket at 8k I would think. Not knocking the horse at all however if I compare him to RNRHeaven I would much rather Heaven. Heaven appears to be a much fresher newer and far more impressive sire line. Some of the Western Hanover sons deeds in Aus have been so so.

    Hi Grant

    Well Said is priced in a tough bracket but then again he was a good racehorse from a strong family and at $8k i think that's good value considering he stands for $15k at Hanover Shoe Farms. Being Western Hanover's 2nd best son i think it put's him well above the Western Hanover's that have graced this part of the world before so i think if given the chance he will do a good job. Another one of Western Hanover's son's that has semen available out here is Western Ideal, when he first had semen available he was $18,700 but his fee has been lowered to $11k and i think he has done a great job in the states being the sire of Rocknroll Hanover, American Ideal and now the newcommer to Alabar Big Jim so he would be worth a go aswell.

    That's the same pic as on the USTA stallion showcase so that is probably where they got it from
    Just had another look on the USTA pic and it has Well Said on the saddle pad, so I'd say it is him

    Hi Rena

    They changed pick earlier today after they were alerted that they had a pic of Shadow Play as Well Said.
