    Artesian

    Any opinions on the sire Artesian?

    I saw his best one to date was David Hercules. I did see some photos of an amazing colt by him posted on www.flickr.com

    Thank you

    David Hercules very nice horse and has won $322,00

    Artesian stats
    360 foals
    28 winners
    $740,000

    So if you take David Hercules out that means the rest of them have a combined earnings of $418,000 which is pretty average and winners to foals percentage is only 13%.

    Too many people don't look deep enough when evaluating a stallion. If your going to be a stats guy at least look deep. That is what i do. The horse had amazing early speed and has great looks. Many of his foals out of less then average mares look great. How would his offspring be if he saw the mares Rocking Roll Hanover, Cams Card Shark, Somebeachsomewhere and Art Major see? Of course this can be said for many other studs who people look past because of this issue.

    Hi trotpace,
    Artesian stood at Alabar in Australia and at Tarahills stud in Canada, not many studs better at getting mares for sires. The mares he bred were no more or no less than what you would expect for a horse of his calibre.
    He has IMO had as good, if not a better start to his stud career than alot of sires. No excuses.
    You are correct that he looks good and his foals also look good, it is just a shame that looks do not always guarantee ability

    Hi Mango, Jorg is Best looked a good one but went a miss unfortunately.
