Hi Viv, I heard that there are 150 NZ breeders on the waiting list for SBSW'S frozen semen and there will only be 75 frozen straws available to them now that he's not coming, Which stallion or stallions do you think the disappointed breeders will jump ship to??? It will be the same situation in Australia.

Not even a good attempt Jamie. Trying to compare an airbrushed promo photo after he's finished racing and furnished into a sire and one of Auckland Reactor as a 4yr old 20 minutes after he has won an Inter -Dominion heat at the Gold Coast is misleading even for you. Here's a photo of what he looked like when he was a 3yr old and AR when he was a 3yr old. The other photo I was referring to is one taken when he was retired. It is not a stud promo photo just one of him in a paddock. Have it for you tomorrow.
considering AF has 2 grp 1 winners and 9 indivdual winners from just the 15 starters to date is not a bad effort IMO, considering some of the other top rank sires have sired 2 or 3 times more and sit around the same mark is a good start and at a reasonable fee, should see him cover a decent book of mares this season.
Another nice gelding over here that has won 2 of his 3 is kimba bay, won well again saturday night beating the pearl winner swagga..
Mindarrie Priddy won again last night and looks a cut above a very good batch of 2 yr old fillies. The picture that VVV posted is exactly what Artistic Fella looks like in the Flesh. Kimba bay also went super at Bunbury last week, so it's all looking very promising for AF. Allamerican Ingot is also doing a very good job over in the West.
It's still early days, but Shadow Play has really started his siring career with a big bang. His progeny won 2 out of the 3 70K Ontario Sires stakes overnight. A Mach Three colt won the other heat
He's a cracking type. I love black horses for no particular reason. Few new sires announced this week or about to be. We will see to Warwick, Smiling Shard to Alabar and Lanercost reportedly to Yiribee. What's everyone's thoughts?Originally Posted by mightymo
Real good selection of quality racehorses as potential stallions. Shadow Play was awesome winning The Little Brown Jug and this was after splitting his hoof quite badly in the 1st heat.

We have a Shadow Play colt, first foal of Demi Plie, a Shark Gesture daughter of Talilia.
Type wise, he is outstanding.
For the record, his sire is the best looking Standardbred that I've ever seen. Absolute cracker.
Another 3 heats of the Ontario sires stakes today, this time for 2yo fillies. In heat 1, a Santanna Blue Chip filly wins with Shadow Plays running 2nd and 3rd. In heat 2, Shadow Plays ran 1st and 2nd with a Major in Art filly 3rd. In heat, 3 a Shadow Play filly called Book Babe was ultra impressive winning by 6 lengths.
I think im going to be sending quite a few mares to Shadow Play this year!!!
