I like all 4 Trish but really like Rock n Roll Heaven, He has an amazing pedigree and should cross nice with a lot of different mares. Sportswriter's young ones are blowing them off the park up in Canada at the moment and it will be interesting to see if they can keep it up as the season draws on. Always a Virgin is doing a very good job in Nth America and I think that he's well priced in our marketplace. Roll with Joe was a very good horse and I wouldn't be surprised if he does well at stud, Its very tough for a well related stallions, As we've seen in the past with others, There have been some great disappointments but I really think that RWJ will do a pretty good job, I wouldn't be silly enough to compare him to Bettor's Delight but you never know. Another brother, No Pan Intended has done a fairly good job at stud in Nth America so RWJ would be worth a shot. I think that Trevor Swan might have a bit of input with these stallions. Peppertree is in for a bumper year IMHO.
Thanks Richard.....great reply, as usual.
Cheers
If only his wife could get such an answer to a question from him :mad:
I think you nailed it Richard and there is a lot to like about each of the stallions.Quote:

Curiously, I think that has been looked upon as a negative by many breeders who look upon him as being just another full brother to a great horse and fail to credit him for his own individual achievements. I don't know what his numbers have been like in USA but I think they have been a bit disappointing down here.
USTA Stallion Showcase
Looks disappointing over there as well. Hope he proves them wrong, I like him a lot.Quote:

88 live foals after serving 137 the first year isn't the best.
I was reading it as 2yrs TrishQuote:

but I am not certain
RWJ has 88 foals registered to date from 137 mares bred in his first year (2012) and 23 registered to date from 134 mares bred in his second year (2013).
137 and 134 mares represents pretty good patronage.
88 from 137 equates to a live foal percentage of 64% which is our average over all stallions in Australia.
Hi Trevor, They are pretty good figures considering 150 mares per season is the max over there, Goes to show a lot of breeders have faith in RWJ.
Thanks Trevor.Quote:

Real good value at half his fee .
Trish, You should keep your eye on this one, Cam's Card Shark blood works pretty good with your mares family and RWJ is definitley worth a shot.Quote:
