Time will tell with Sepoy - I wonder how much advantage he had being from the EI crop but from a non-EI affected farm...


Short answer = No

You answered your own question Reng. only 1 stallion in 10 is successful.
I think your stats confirm that only 3 stallions in 100 stallions is commercial. The odds are worse

Flying Spur, Star Watch, Canny Lad, Marauding are one of the 3 in 100

You are correct about the 3/4? its 7/8 and it matters not one iota re the "female line" -there are a few "female lines" in any pedigree and therein a lot of common mares.

Rubbish don. To be considered 1/2 or 3/4 relations a tail female must be present. Musket and Makybe Diva are 3/4 relatives- by sons of Danehill out of Tugela. Related and Sepoy are bred on the same cross, nothing more. Just as Raceway and Sebring are.

Spearmint. I understand where you are coming from but it just doesn't work that way in thoroughbreds.
 
Every Bel Esprit out of a Desert Sun mare is not a 3/4 relation to Black Caviar.

Technically speaking it is a 3/4 blood relation. I know the tail female line is missing and is definitely important but technically speaking that is what it is.
We may just have to agree to disagree on this point.

Its not a question of disagreeing because Don & Spearmint are correctly explaining 'fractional' relationships which refer to every part of a tabulated pedigree. 

Ash, you are confusing the general term '3/4 relation' with a more the specific term, '3/4 maternal relations' which would refer to horses who have the same sire and same grand dam. 
 
Don is also correct about the relationship of Sepoy and Related. These stallions do share 7 of their 8 great grandparents and are therefore 7/8 relations, not 3/4 as I said earlier.

for cataloging purposes a 3/4, 1/2 and full are the only descriptions used. 7/8ths does not come into it. 3/4 sister would be out of the same mare by a half brother or son of the of the original. 3/4 in blood would be by the same stallion out of a half sister or daughter of the original. Any other descriptions don't count in thoroughbred pedigrees.

Giggles--catalogue standards allow fillies by the same stallion and out of 1/2 sisters to be termed "3/4 sisters." They don't include "blood"

Correct don. But the 1/2 sisters you speak of are due to sharing the same mother not the same sire as you mentioned when you called Related and Sepoy 7/8 brothers. 
 
Obviously some are confused with the "blood" term. Two horses by Fastnet Rock both out of mares by Snippets but from totally unrelated mares are not called 3/4 relations by blood. Cambiaso and Sebring are not termed 3/4 blood brothers, they are merely bred on the same cross. It's like calling Flying Spur and Redoute's Choice 1/2 brothers!

In reality, away from the industry that has been created using theories, opinions, unique breeding and racing language, results, terms and references, both Flying Spur and Redoute's Choice are half-brothers.

Could it be a theory that these outstanding sires throw a particular type of progeny no matter the the dam's bloodlines, estimating two out 40 mares throw this black type performer by a particular sire.
 
Take a look at Exceed And Excel and Gonski, did Danehill produce two very individualistic types there. Same robust front running steam train like action?
 
Turn the pedigree upside down and you have a different prospective.
 
Thats why this industry is so enjoyable and fascinating, another theory, more guess work, another progenitator on the rise producing stock outrunning what their breeding suggests.
 
Bloodstock marvels explaining their theories in dollars, the unknown hard luck breeder, owner, trainer and jockey succeeding at the ultimate level in horse racing.
 
Thats why the thoroughbred industry is an attractive journey for anybody who seeks excitment.

Ash, my post above was correcting Giggles re cataloguing -the previous post when I was referring to 3/4 and 7/8 relations was a matter of pure fact.

Don you are right . Inglis's always used to use 3/4 brother in blood...but since Arion started doing their pedigrees it has stopped, which is a shame because it confuses the matter. By the way re my forum name which you decided to change. I have never been rude to anyone on this forum yet and I won't start now....so have a good day.

A bit surprising. If I had the money I would of loved to have gone to him.

I know it is only early but thought he would be a very good sire.

The smart money might be on his half brother Mulazem at 1/12th roughly of Sepoy's service fee.

It's not even Christmas yet, give the horse a chance, bugger me the dynamics of what makes a successful stallion have changed over the last 10 years. He will still be a hot commodity come sale day.

Not a chance, ianb. If he hasn't had a winner from 10 starters come January his averages will be right down the toilet.

And I'm not saying he will be a bad sire - the fact is if he hasn't had at least some success before then the buyers will be gone in droves.

Agree.  The market massively overrates first season sires and is just as quick to drop off if they don't produce early 2yos.  This is no reflection on his quality as a sire.  It's a reflection on a very fickle buying bench.
