Hi Buster
Not sure, i was at Alabar on saturday looking at him and i couldn't believe how big/thick set he is. They said he is doing a good job over there but he really needs a standout soon.
There would be some stallion owners very disappointed with those numbers
Besides Changeover i'd say Nevele R would be one of those disappointed.
I'm happy for Changeover I like him a little bit of everything in a racehorse deserves a chance
327 thats killing the pig for Bettor's Delight, anything below Badlands Hanover would be a disapointment for owners except for Falcon Seelster & Gotta Go Cullen. If they dropped CC fee to $10,000 they would double his book and make more money
Hi Nat
Your on the mark there with C-C and the same could be said for Mach 3 but what i've been told there in the same boat when it come's to semen (average).
G'day Nat,
These days CC's fertility wouldn't allow him to double that book...no matter what price he was offered at. In addition, & just as it is for every stallion, serving the mares is one thing, getting them in foal is another.
The one that spins my head on that list is Stonebridge Regal.
I thought the Kiwis did their homework? The horse didn't win so much as a single Stakes Race in his entire career.
Hi Triple
Yeah i was a bit suprised with Stonebridge Regal so i went back and had a look how he went in Australia and in 09/10 he served 165 with 107 live foals and on top of the 100 he served in New Zealand he also served 109 in Aus this year.
Fair dinkum. It's a funny old world.
