Geeze, now there's a memory Greg.Originally Posted by Greg Hando
SK sure was an ugly big bugger, shocked me when I first saw him. Very docile horse to the point of appearing as though he had been jammed with Ketamine. Would you believe he was actually wandering around in Alan's backyard at Alabar...boof head, heavy legs & feet, looked like a freaking Clydesdale...but for the most part he didn't seem to leave them that way. Holmes Hanover was the same sort of horse apparently. When he was still at Nevele R I can remember Uncle Bob saying that if you were going to breed a mare to Holmes, not to go and look at him. He had that real Tar Heel rawness about him. I've quite often had the same sort of reaction to seeing a stallion in the flesh for the first time as you can do when you see a Radio announcer's face for the 1st time. The mental picture you develop and the reality can often be poles apart. Same thing happened when I first met The Big Mile. I'd heard on the grapevine of his final furlong sprints down the grassed side of the outside fence and I expected an Asafa Powell style of bloke...but instead as it turned out he was built more like former Australian Rugby prop forward & Stone Cold hard man, Stan Pilecki...only sans the moustache.

Have whoever you want on but don't ever have yourself on
Hey triple, great shot of Stan! The comparison with Safely Kept, Holmes Hanover and Stan is spot on! Only difference is Stan scared me.
Interesting to see Art Major Not listed as booked out, he has been listed booked out for the last few years before the service fee's had even gone out. I wonder how many owners are trying to back peddle out to go to R'N'R Hanover now ?
RNRH is advertised as $12,500 Frozen Semen on the Empire web site. Is that correct ?
I was just on the website and can't find RNRH on there as yet.
I'll second that Mango
was talking to david at empire yesterday he is jumping over the moon
Go to Sires index and click on RNRH. This directs you to Empire site.
See what you mean Mo, but with all things website about the industry there is one stud advertising him who supposedly don't have him and the one stud that supposedly has him hasn't anything on their own website but have advertised him in the national racing paper and this is the first I have seen on the Industry website not uncommon for getting it balls'd up.
It is easy to be uncertain you will properly get the truth here on this site before pens put to paper to sign the deal
