Here's a few more to look at Jack
Always a Virgin $1,022,703 at 3
Rock n Roll Heaven $2,156,192 at 3
Roll with Joe $1,649,725 at 3
Sportswriter $750,780 at 3 and was injured.
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

I think you nailed it Richard and there is a lot to like about each of the stallions.
RWJ ticks every box, USTA 3YO of the Year, good individual, from an outstanding broodmare and a full brother to a mighty stallion in Bettors Delight. 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.

I looked at the total reg foals at 111 (for 3 years?) or am I reading it wrong
