Hi Fullerton
I think they lowered the price due to him being to $$$$ for a first season sire, when Art Major and Bettor's started out they were around the $6-8 mark. Sale's out here have been average even though most sale companies put there usual spin on things and people are starting to look for value or proven sire's. At $8,800 he will serve around 250 and at $11,000 about 150, it's all about getting the numbers on the ground in the 1st couple of years as we all know numbers equals winners, so for me i think he is priced right. I also beleive the interest in him at $11,000 was average at best.

Hi Mango,
I agree. It is very important for his stud career down here that he gets a big book of mares in his first couple of years. At $11000 that was not going to happen. At $8800 I think he will attract more then 300 if they are prepared to do that many. That is the right fee IMO for an extremely exciting new stallion.

when do they usually arrive in aussie, wouldnt mind going to have a look at him

I think they're usually into Oz Quarantine around mid to late August & out early/mid September or thereabouts but if they happen to miss the 1st group through it's much later. Sometimes they'll skate on through it and other times there can be all sorts of bullshit that slows them down. These days some might even be doing their Q. time over in NZ & then ship here. Not sure.

Hey Triple
I think i might have to bite the bullet and send one there but which one to send is the hard thing.

I think he's THE most brilliant Pacing colt that there has been in my lifetime.

He's a horse i would of liked to see race as a 4yr old but i do understand there's more money in the breeding barn.

I think he would have broken 1:46 in a race mile at 4yrs.
