He went to stud didn't he?? Fertility issues or just lack of interest?

Actually has 35 foals from two seasons at stud. Fertility dropped from 75% in his first season to 38% in the next. I don't know what the reasons for the decline were or if it was just a simple economics thing, but PMC lost his lodging at the Playboy mansion and was sent back to the workforce!

PMC will be hoping that one of those first crop start burning up the track to encourage someone to offer him another go at the stud duties!

I do remember reading an article that his testicles never reached full size so that was the reason for the low fertilitly count.

More on the Tuesday meeting coming up. Best bet I've seen for a while, Our Mick Ison. Flew across from the outside gate in a 28.1 quarter last week and was unlucky to be just beaten in the final 100m in 1.56. Draws barrier three here, which should enable him to find the lead a bit easier and be good enough to win. It was a C2/C3 last week, he drops back to a C2 while the winner from last week Modern Slippa steps up to a C5/C8 and looks like being favourite (Mike Ko'Cass has him on top as does AAP ratings). Worth having a few bob on is Our Mick Ison.
