Yip it has been very quiet on this thread!! We have a Rock N Roll dance foal due this season, we weren't breeding this year but ended up buying a nice Betters Delight mare in foal.
We have a Betterthancheddar rising 2 gelding out of a Christian Cullen mare, he is broken in and has an amazing attitude and nature so time will tell with him, also an Art Offical rising 2 filly, an absolute natural pacer with again great attitude(was not commercial for sales so kept her) and now a rising 3 Sportswriter gelding who is very mentally mature and a real workman.
Not sending any mare to a stallion this season but I believe Roll With Joe book (nobody wanted him in his first season serves 14) may be full here in NZ and will be interesting to see Captaintreacherous book numbers.
Unfortunately for us a lot of the stallions are beyond our budget or if taking yearling to the sales are not commercial. I like Sportswriter (served 18 in first season nz) and think hes not bad value at $4500, I also like Always A Virgin but unfortunately neither of these are showing to be commercial prospects....
Even tho not breeding this season always look forward to reading the Sires Catalogue when it arrives!!
Interested to hear others experiences also....
